The Republican tax heist that passed in December 2017. It's details confirmed that the Republican leaders’ primary goal was to enrich the country’s elite at the expense of everybody else, including future generations who will end up bearing the cost. This fatally flawed law has many hidden gems still coming to light.
Republicans screamed at the top of their lungs for eight years under President Obama about budget deficits and our national debt. They blamed him for bank bailouts initiated before his term. They shot down incredibly vital stimulus plans to bring our economy out of a total collapse and, you know, make America great again.
In March 2018, Trump signed the Omnibus Spending Bill, explained succinctly by Smart Dissent HERE. He admittedly had no idea what was in it. It included funding for a lot of crucial programs, many of which Republicans would like to savagely cut or end.
Now Trump's people have put their (empty) heads together and asked Congress to pull back some of the funding within that $1.3 trillion spending bill.
The multiple Republican tax plans are difficult to keep up with as they move towards a combined House and Senate bill that both aim to vote on before Christmas. The Democrats will have no say in the matter. The underlying theme is to cut taxes as much as possible for the wealthiest.
Today, Smart Dissent describes a disgusting, hidden part of the original GOP Tax Scam. The Resistance spoke up about this and as of now, the proposed final bill between the House and Senate has reversed course and kept the medical expense deductions in place.
There are multiple Republican tax plans that are difficult to keep up with. The House, Senate, and White House each have their own plans. The Democrats in office will have no say in the matter. The underlying theme is to cut taxes as much as possible for the wealthiest. It's difficult to uncover and track the many hidden gems within their devious plans but Smart Dissent will try to share as many as we can.
We as individuals must undertake Smart Dissent by speaking up loudly and hoping numerous Republicans in Congress see the light.

Last week, Republicans proposed to cap the amount that Americans can contribute before taxes to 401(k) plans and individual retirement accounts. The details of this proposal came to light publicly and was reported by nearly all media sources. It was intended to increase the tax burden on middle class Americans to offset the cost of tax cuts to the wealthiest. Fortunately The Resistance heard this, spoke up, and exhibited Smart Dissent. Thus, this specific proposal did not make it into the House GOP tax plan. Numerous other things did which we will cover in a new post next week.
Senate Republicans passed a $4 trillion budget blueprint late Thursday by a narrow 51-49 vote, with Kentucky's Senator Rand Paul joining Democrats in opposing the measure considered a key step in forward on President Trump's promises of a tax overhaul. The White House praised the bill, saying it "creates a pathway to unleash the potential of the American economy through tax reform and tax cuts."
