Any informed American is aware that Trump’s “tax reform” is a lie. The only thing he accomplished was additional tax breaks for the one-percent and tax reduction for corporations which will add trillions of dollars to the national deficit. The total effect of his gift to himself and other billionaires is just now revealing the truth.
U.S. companies contributed 7.6% of the $3.5 trillion in total federal income tax revenue collected for 2018, down two percentage points from the previous year.
Individual taxpayers contributed 57% of revenue last year, up from 54% in 2017. The percentage of taxpayers who are audited by the IRS has fallen steadily in recent years, largely because of agency budget cuts.
This all adds up to less money for the United States to care for its people and more profits for the one-percent of wealthiest Americans.
Trump’s claim that he is a “great deal maker,” and a “self-made man worth billions,” are two of the biggest lies he has ever told. If he had not been “bailed out” by the Saudi Royal Family in 1995, and Russian oligarchs in 2005, he would be penniless today. Many informed men and women question his loyalty to Vladimir Putin and the Saudis. The truth is that he owes them. As our illegitimate president, he is paying his debt.
Trump’s entire fiscal policy is designed to increase his personal wealth and the men and women in his administration who are billionaires and millionaires. He hates poor Americans and considers the working class his personal slaves.
When history evaluates Donald Trump, he will be exposed as a Russian agent, a failure in business and in life, and the worst illegitimate president in American history. He is a man who was spared military service in Vietnam because his father paid for deferments. His diploma was also paid for, and the proof is offered every day by his own revelation that he is illiterate. Millions of American voters were conned in 2016.
Tell everyone; “The Truth Lives Here.”
