I’ve read your response to my inquiry. However, your response says nothing at all about your getting rid of the Alternative Minimum Tax. It says nothing whatsoever about the radical change in the estate tax which will further widen the future gap between those who have most of it and those who don’t have much of it. And then there is the last-hour introduction of the egregious tax dodge for real estate developers working through LLCs, making it truly the “Trump tax cut.” I expect that Mr. Trump will pay no tax whatsoever in the coming years. Certainly his darling children will have much less to worry about on the tax front.
So your tax cut takes care of a few people, but I’m not one of them and I am offended that you believe I can be so easily hoodwinked. I suspect that I speak for approximately 83 percent of the American taxpaying public who think this tax bill is a true 100 percent stinker. Add to that your party’s persistent efforts to kill Obamacare, give away public lands to corporations, ignore the NRA mission of guns for every American, and the intrinsic racism shouted out on the wall, DACA, the Muslim ban, on and on. You have supported all of this. I therefore vow to undertake whatever I can do to rid our politics of you and your Republican kind at the 2018 opportunity.
