There are some big events in our country's history.
FDR did a lot of things right - he eliminated elder poverty (before Social Security, 90% of elders were in poverty); he regulated Wall Street, ending the constant pattern of bank crashes (for the first time, bank crashes ended for 50 years, until Reagan d-regulated the industry and we had the S&L crash). He raised taxes enough to pay our bills, and inequality plummeted.
Reagan gave the country a hatred for its own government, its first huge peacetime deficits, de-regulation of Wall Street, and the flattening of wages while the rich skyrocketed in wealth for decades, restoring great inequality.
That inequality - which has largely destroyed the functioning of democracy and threatens democracy - is our country's biggest problem and needs to be reversed. This tax bill does exactly the opposite, worsening the inequality, another wealth transfer of trillions to the top and gutting of the spending that benefits the American people.
Things are on the wrong direction without this bill. They're on a far worse direction with this bill.
This is a historic moment the way the sinking of the Titanic was a historic moment for ships. The utter corruption that has taken over the Republican Party is about to greatly harm the American people for years or decades to come.
This is the worst bill in decades, and that's saying a lot. Right-wingers, don't bother drooling idiocy in this thread with your ignorant or dishonest denials.
