  1. @ Moderate. I pay more than a fair share.
    As for updates, the latest on the GOP tax bill is that disabled veterans and those unemployed on a long term basis fare very poorly in this tax bill: Republicans have voted to get rid of the tax credit that offers great incentives for employers to hire them.
    It also eliminated the tax credit that helps employers render their places of work accessible to disabled people.
    Surely this would appear reprehensible. This is easily fact checked.

  2. It’s not that bad if you actually read it. It sounds like you just don’t want to pay your fair share.

    1. Did they change the part about deducting college loan interest from my taxes? Oh wait how selfish of me why should I expect that when I enter into a long term agreement about something that republican politicians would actually keep their damn word, especially when the desires of their donors are to see someone like me punished for having the gall to attend college and make my life better

  3. Former Lower Merion Constable Eric Bradway has announced that he is running for Governor in The Democratic Primary against The Wolf Man .

  4. Why are there so few Republicans in heaven?
    If there were more, it would surely be hell.
    This whole tax scheme is hell. This has been a tough week for progressive thinkers.
    As the joke goes, Trump’s family cost the New York City taxpayers millions and millions of dollars, and Trump was happy he wasn’t a taxpayer.
