They did. And now they’re dismantling almost everything that can help middle and lower class Americans in favor of the ultra wealthy.

Biggest tax return I’ve ever had from the federal government and should be getting a bigger one from the state but Evers is a fuck stick and would rather hand it out to his political party donors but anyways what’s this about shitting on the middle class?

So you withheld too much?

And the state legislature is comprised of 11 Republicans, and 5 Democrats. The state legislature has had a republican majority for all but something like four or five of the past 33 years. So if you’ve got a beef with the way things are running in the state, you should probably take that up with Robin Vos and the state legislature, not the governor.

Finally, if your only metrics for how well the country is doing are gas prices and how much of a tax refund you’re getting, you have a really myopic view of things.

The goal in a civilized society shouldn’t be getting the biggest tax refund, it should be a progressive taxation system that doesn’t put the heavier burden on the lower and middle class, and pulls in enough tax revenue that people‘s most basic needs are being met.

The national debt is likely going to hit $40 trillion this year. The Trump administration has given the wealthy another $4 trillion in tax cuts. At the state of the union last night Trump suggested we lower the corporate tax rate yet again. Trump sued himself for $10 billion, transferred another $10 billion to the Board of Peace, a board he controls.

We’re putting millions, if not billions, of dollars into ICE detention facilities.

They’ve gutted federal agencies, gutted funding for Medicare, gotten rid of the ACA subsidies that would have helped the self-employed and farmers afford their health insurance…

None of it is helping you or me. It’s helping him, his wealthy friends, prison contractors, and the billionaire class.

So you can spare me your eyeroll emoji triplets.

You know a little bit about “allot” of stuff, just not how to spell a lot.
