Trump promised huge tax cuts and an enormous increase in the job market if his tax bill was passed by a partisan Congress. His second attempt to institute ‘trickle-down’ economics has already failed just days after the bill became law. You and I are paying for his gift to himself and other wealthy Americans.

Here is just one example of how Republicans have bowed to major corporations and the wealthy.

AT&T promised Republicans that it would invest an additional one-billion dollars if the tax bill was passed. They never indicated how that investment would be utilized. In addition, they had complained about President Obama’s rule of ‘net neutrality,’ claiming that it was “suppressive to investment.”

Immediately after the tax bill was passed, and President Obama’s rule revoked, AT&T began laying off employees.

“Despite its claim that a corporate tax cut would create thousands of middle-class jobs in its industry, AT&T recently announced that hundreds of workers in the Southwest would be declared ‘surplus’ and subject to layoff.”

Comcast fired nearly 500 sales department employees just before Christmas, and attempted to hide the fact. I hope they wrote thank you notes to Republicans for giving them a ‘Christmas vacation.’

Republicans are traitors to the working class. Not a single man or woman who wears the title of ‘Republican’ is worthy of your vote. GOP politicians are the enemy. They have two goals; insure that their wealthy campaign contributors experience increased profits, and that their goals for reelection are achieved.

Take your country back from the oppressors; vote in November.

Please spread the truth. Do not allow the right wing to lie to you any longer.
