BLAST FROM THE PAST: December 16, 2017 THE NEW TAX PLAN: PREDICTING THE FUTURE? LEARN FROM THE PAST.

 

Let us consider the following;

If a MEMBER OF EITHER THE HOUSE OR SENATE represents a STATE THAT;

-  HAS A HIGHER THAN AVERAGE POVERTY RATE.

-  SETS A MINIMUM WAGE THAT RARELY INCREASES, FAILING TO KEEP UP

WITH THE COST OF LIVING. THIS FORCES SOME WORKING FAMILIES TO SEEK

FEDERAL AID TO PROVIDE A MINIMAL LIVING STANDARD.

-  IS RELUCTANT TO SUPPORT A UNIVERSAL HEALTH PLAN THAT
WOULD BENEFIT ALL OF ITS RESIDENTS.

-  HAS A LOW REGARD FOR EDUCATION, ESPECIALLY THE SCIENCES.

-  DOES NOT EMPHASIZE PROTECTIONS FOR THE EMPLOYEE, BUT LEAVES
THAT TO THE WHIMS OF THE EMPLOYER.

- TRIES TO ADMINISTER JUSTICE ACCORDING TO THE FAITH AND 
RELIGIOUS BELIEFS OF THOSE IN POWER.

WHAT WOULD YOU SAY ABOUT SUCH A POLITICIAN? 

NOW, SUPPOSE THAT MEMBER OF CONGRESS HAS SERVED FOR YEARS,
AND THROUGH "SENIORITY" HAS GAINED POWER OVER OTHER MEMBERS
OF CONGRESS, INFLUENCING OR PREVENTING LEGISLATION THAT OTHERS
THINK NECESSARY.

WHAT WOULD YOU SAY ABOUT THAT POLITICIAN?

NOW, AS WE LOOK BACK OVER THIS POLITICIANS CAREER, WE SEE THAT
THE PEOPLE REPRESENTED BY THIS MEMBER OF CONGRESS ARE NOT
MUCH BETTER OFF, (STANDARD OF LIVING, HEALTH, EDUCATION.), THAN 
THEY WERE BEFORE THIS "PUBLIC SERVANT" CAME TO WASHINGTON, D.C.
FURTHER, WHEN WE LOOK AT THE PUBLIC RECORD, IT SEEMS THAT LITTLE
WAS DONE, PROPOSED, OR SUPPORTED BY THIS ELECTED OFFICIAL THAT 
WOULD ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEMS OF THE CONSTITUENCY.

WHAT WOULD YOU SAY ABOUT THAT POLITICIAN?

NOW WHAT WOULD YOU SAY IF THAT POLITICIAN WAS GIVEN THE 
POWER TO INFLUENCE THE COURSE OF THE ENTIRE COUNTRY, FREE
TO USE THEIR EXPERTISE FOR THE "GOOD" OF ALL.

WELL...

...WHY DON'T WE TAKE A LOOK AT THOSE WHO AUTHORED THE NEW 
REPUBLICAN "TAX PLAN", AND SEE WHO IS IN CHARGE OF DETERMINING 
THE ECONOMIC FUTURE OF THE U.S...
