The poor have a party and the rich have a party and the rest of us get screwed. Well the working poor often get screwed too so let's include them.
I am so sick of everything costing more while we are giving free benefits to illegals and while so many billionaires have been minted in the past 3 years. Not just billionaires but a couple of them hit the 200 billion mark. No I don't want a wealth tax. I do want these people to pay their bracket and I want everyone to have some skin in the game rather than using the tax system as another benefit distribution plan! Does that sound so bad?
Our tax person screwed up somehow and we now owe several thousand to the IRS that we didn't think we owed! Meanwhile the middle man gets hosed in the retirement account while congress and the super rich prosper whether times are good or bad! At the same time everything else is more and more expensive, from gas to amenity fees ,home repairs to food. My adult kids are feeling the pinch. No one except the rich will be able to afford to heat their home or their light bill in a few years.
Maybe then the unrepresented will see the light. Meanwhile we will just pay for the benefits for non citizens while the super rich pay half their bracket! . I'm not sure how the hell the working poor are getting buy now if I'm feeling it like this. Of course tribalism is more important than that , right?
I mean I'm pissed. We are getting hit from all sides and the politicians are so out of touch they claim these are good times! The $#@!s are more freakin worried about getting a man on the woman's swim team or destroying our energy and National security. They have trillions in revenue but they have collectively built a 32 trillion dollar debt and it ain's enough! Yes, the rpubs would be better, but NOT better enough! This is why I supported Trump but he is not a real donkephant and they have scorched earth to make sure he can't win. Even if he is does, he is not congress. We nee representation!
The middle is being played and split by the two. Meanwhile we have collective clout we are not using.
Why not? Why are we such fools?
