Every member of the Trump Party is a millionaire. When they voted for Trump’s “tax reform,” they voted themselves a huge raise.

The last study revealed that 46 million Americans live below the poverty line. The number of families, not individuals, but families, living in the low-income level is approximately 10.4 million up from 10.2 million families. This means that one-third of Americans are living ‘paycheck to paycheck,’ one week away from falling below the poverty line. This reveals that about 48 percent of all Americans live in poverty or in such extreme low-income levels that they could fall below the poverty line with the occurrence of a single personal tragedy or less.

But Trump’s lying administration put out a report denying the truth; no surprise there.

This from the DAILY KOS:

{The Council of Economic Advisers for popular vote loser Donald Trump released a report Thursday in which they declare that the decades-old war on poverty “is largely over and a success,” and now it’s time to go back to work houses. Not literally, but close. They argue for imposing work requirements on all safety net programs, including Medicaid and food stamps (SNAP), the first step to lumping all programs together as “welfare” in order to make it easier to undermine their popular support and cut them further.}

This is another plot by the Trump Party to further reduce or eliminate badly needed social programs.

“It’s all part of a carefully calculated strategy to reinforce myths about the people these programs help,” said Rebecca Vallas, the vice president of the poverty to prosperity program at the liberal Center for American Progress think tank, and “to smear these programs with a dog-whistle of welfare, in order to make them easier to cut.”

Is this a party and an illegitimate president you can morally support? America is near its end thanks to the Trump Party and their fascist president.

Once again, the right wing is escalating its war on the needy and the working class.

I have a serious problem with millionaires and billionaires in America. The justice system, one entire political party which controls congress, and even the Supreme Court constantly show favoritism to the wealthy and ignore one-half of the American people. With 540 billionaires and 10.8 million millionaires, our label as the “richest country in the world” is a lie and a farce.

Soon, thanks to Trump’s destructive fiscal policy, more Americans will slide into the bottom 50 percent of Americans. Since Reagan, “trickle-down economics” has failed the working class, resulting in growing unemployment rates and an increase in the national debt. Now Trump has added tariffs on imports. China, Canada, and the European Union are retaliating while seeking new sources for trade agreements.

The aluminum and steel industry which desperately needs products from other nations which are not manufactured in the United States have announced reductions in manufacturing in the very near future. Farmers are fearful that tariffs on their exports will negate most of their profits. Farmers who produce soy beans are in the greatest danger of bankruptcy.

Trump and Putin have a plan; destroy the American economy and enslave the American worker. If you doubt this you are either a Trump supporter, or a Trump Party politician who chooses ignorance for his or her personal gain.

Read this carefully because it is the irrefutable truth: REPUBLICANS ARE THE ENEMY! They must lose their lives of luxury and privilege and be replaced with younger men and women who will serve all of the American people.

On November 6^th America can return to the country of our founding fathers. Our nation was moving forward to join the other developed nations of the world until January 20, 2017. Trump and his hypocritical party are attempting to destroy the advances made for the majority of our nation’s people in the last 60+ years. Stop them. Vote.

Please tell others about my blog; this is the place where the truth lives without censorship.
