    Default Republican Senator Calls For MORE Tax Cuts To Help Win Trade War

    WTF? Do these creatures ever stop their thieving and grifting con job BS?

    Rick Scott no less. The douche who robbed Medicare by pulling off the biggest fraud of the system in its history.



    I was wondering how long it would take this crook to come up with another scheme to funnel money to himself and his cronies.

    Please explain how forcing me to hand over more of my income to an increasingly insatiable "government" is not the exact same thing you are accusing Rick Scott of doing? Fund the military(including the VA)and the other social programs that we have payed into(forcibly), fund some infrastructure in the pursuit of commerce, and leave as much as you can to the states. But most of all, stop wasting energy bemoaning the condition of the wealthy. Ignore them

    And with the exception of the military industrial complex welfare fund for the elite, government funding for actual needed programs will be further cut.

    These Trumpanzees now exist to parrot the oligarch/authoritarian propaganda while the rest of us have to put up with the horrific policies supported by their stupidity and treachery fueled by the orange-hued obese cult leader.

    Want to make the dwindling American corporations more competitive, institute national healthcare and take the cost and implementation off the backs of employers. That would nake the ground more level.

    Awww...poor little twinkle puff! To what do you feel entitled? Anything beyond social security and medicare?(and that's assuming you have a job and you meet the work requirements to receive those benefits) Did you not receive a tax cut at all? Is that what has you down? Get over it! You probably didn't pay enough taxes in the first place! Did you get a "tax refund"? Did you send it back to the treasury because the damn government is going broke? You get exactly zero sympathy from me, because your last line up there, "what does that leave for me???????" shows me that your attitude and beliefs are EXACTLY what you accuse Rick Scott of, trying to get something for nothing!

    this the real reason why GOP sell-out/corporate whores want even more tax cuts


    CEOs rake in 940% more than 40 years ago, while average workers earn 12% more



    Source: CBS News

    The chasm between what the country's corporate leaders and their workers earn is widening to Grand Canyon-like proportions, according to new research that shows CEO compensation surged 940% between 1978 to 2018 while the average worker saw a meager 12% pay hike over the same 40-year period.

    "CEOs are getting more because of their power to set pay, not because they are increasing productivity or possess specific, high-demand skills," economist Lawrence Mishel and research assistant Julia Wolfe said in the report from the Economic Policy Institute, a left-leaning think tank.

    Depending on how it's calculated, the average pay of CEOs at the 350 biggest U.S. companies last year came to $17.2 million, the EPI research found. (Or, alternatively, about $14 million, with the smaller number valuing the stock options that make up a big chunk of CEO pay at the time they were granted rather than when they were cashed in at typically higher prices.)

    Last year chief execs got $278 for every $1 a typical worker earned, according to Mishel and Wolfe. Back in 1965, top corporate chiefs earned $20 for every dollar a typical worker earned, with that ratio rising to 58-to-1 by 1989. The gap widened dramatically in the following decades, they noted, due to a shift in the 1990s and 2000s to compensate CEOs mostly with stock options, restricted shares and other incentive-based pay fueled a spike in their earnings.

    In short...the GOP are thieves who come to steal and not to govern. What better grifter than Trump, a lifelong racketeer and thief to give the power of the pen to. They rob the treasury at every opportunity they create in order to serve themselves and their puppet masters. Amazing that they successfully created a base that is as dumbed-down as they need them to be.

    So, you seem to think that the 1% is entitled to take everything; sorry I don't share your view.
