Make Sure No One Falls For The Billionaire Tax Cut Scam Coming Down The Pike

It's all a scam.

Everyone here knows it.

Make sure all your friends know it.

Robbing the poor to help the rich. The GOP MO.

It's "down the pike", not "pipe" ("pike" is short for "turnpike") Spider Jerusalem Oct 2017 #1

I see it was changed to "pike" but "pipe" could mean the sewer pipe! k8conant Oct 2017 #2

Same old GOP MO, with slightly different talking points. All a part of helping with our race to the bottom - right where they want us.

Most people here have heard this key GOP platform plank dozens of times, and for many decades. Our challenge is to get our general public to understand the long-term implications.

Unfortunately, not too many folks seem interested in the details.
