Well…as the idiot trump’s ignorance and stupidity is on full display with his moronic tariffs, we need to start talking about them not as tariffs, which people do not really understand, but as tax increases that are going to fall on every household and business in this country…and no, stupident, China is not paying for the tariffs no matter how much you bleat that, it is not now or will ever be the truth…but should we expect anything but ignorance and stupidity from someone who lost over a billion dollars in 10 years? Or who couldn’t even make a profit from casinos? Oxford has come out with a study (and no, Oxford does not do fake news) that says that with trump’s new tariffs on China that he imposed Friday, every damn household in the US is going to be TAXED an additional 800 dollars a year and this is in addition to the 100 farms that go out of business every week due to idiot boy’s stupidity. We need to hammer this home every day…that trump cut taxes for the rich but for everyone else, these tariffs are going to raise your taxes…enough winning, trump voters? Impeach…

Dupes and dopes…
Well…not ready to work out yet so I thought I’d come back here to do another one of these while it’s still fresh in my head….with all of the crowing that the idiot trump and his minions did about the the tax cut scam, and how it would be a huge benefit for the workers in this country…with the increase in tariffs on steel and aluminum, the dupes and dopes who voted this idiot in (along with the Russians) are going to see any increase in their pay checks offset completely by the rise in costs from the tariffs. How is this not a tax increase on working people? Idiot boy and his minions have no clue how tariffs work…he really does think that the countries selling us steel and aluminum are going to send the US a check for the tariffs and that is just not how it works….and the job losses that were estimated yesterday at 146,000 have now been revised to over a million jobs…yep, the “greatest job creator” is going to be personally responsible for putting over a million US workers out of work….how’s that tax cut working for you now, trump voters? How’s that “make America great again” working for you? You know, I usually have empathy for people who lose their jobs since I went through that crap, but the willfully ignorant trump voters really deserve to share in the pain they’ve foisted on the rest of us and I have no sympathy for any of them…impeach….
Okay…did you think I could go a whole day without ole Mitt?
Well…sitting here waiting for the Tigers game to start and read an interesting thing that ole Mitt said while talking to some small businessmen in Ohio today…while he was talking to them about his tax plan he said “don’t expect your taxes to go down much…and we are going to close some loopholes by reducing deductions for individuals..” Now, to me, this sounds just like the plan that he has adamantly said is not his tax plan…to lower taxes on the rich and taking away deductions from the middle class to pay for them. It was funny when some of the people that were interviewed after the speech started to understand that if Romney does what he promised in the speech…they will end up paying more in taxes…and they were confused that the independent analysis of ole Mitt’s plans were right…I think there may be cracks in the small business constituency that ole Mitt is depending on…and none too soon…geez…
The numbers don’t lie…
Well…sitting here waiting for the maint guy to come so I thought I’d comment on the tax plan being put forth by ole Mitt…in an analysis done by the non-partisan Brookings Institute and the Tax Policy Center shows that this reverse Robin Hood plan would shift even more of the tax burden from the rich to the middle class and poor…and, on top of that, would increase the deficit by hundreds of billions of dollars a year…and it would shift the tax burden by 86 billion dollars a year from those making more than 200K a year to those that make less…essentially making the workers pay to subsidize the rich who already pay less of a percentage of their income than they’ve paid in 80 years. As you can see, ole Mitt is not serious in trying to fix the problems of the US, is not serious in trying to fix the infrastructure and schools that we need…he is only interested in stealing more for the rich…if you want your taxes increased, vote for Mitt….geez…
A couple of things…
Well…have been watching some sports this aft so I haven’t really gotten my brain into the political gear that I need to make some sense of the things that I see happening…but, a couple of things have come up that I wanted to comment on…first, I thought it quite clever today when Obama described behaviors of Saint Ronald of Reagan that would have prevented him from even getting the nomination in today’s repub party…under full disclosure, I voted for Reagan… a mistake that I have had years to savor…what Obama was getting at was Reagan’s pragmatic approach to governance, and the fact that he advocated raising taxes on the rich to have them pay their “fair share” and this was at a rate that was more than 25% higher than it is now….if any repub these days even hints at wanting to do the sensible thing and combine budget cuts with tax increases to help decrease the deficit, they would be run out of town by the rabid tea partiers aided by ole Grover Norquist….it is kind of neat to see the shapes of the general starting to appear and I just can’t see how Romney can win after lurching so far to the right in the primary…alienating women, hispanics, independents, and everyone else except the extreme righties…..and there just is not enough of them to win a general election….can’t wait to see Karly Rove and his super pac spend a 100 million dollars and lose….geez…
