Which corporate welfare recipients do you want to keep supporting?

Which of these tax subsidies will you keep paying for in the new tax bill? http://www.goodjobsfirst.org/sites/default/files/docs/pdf/UncleSamsFavoriteCorporations.pdf.
Here are the largest corporate welfare recipients: https://www.cheatsheet.com/ business/high-on-the-hog-the-top-8-corporate-welfare-recipients.html/?a=viewall. GOP wants to cut taxes for the rich and increase the interest payments on $20 Trillion debt to the Chinese! GOP idea that corporations make jobs with tax cuts was proven wrong by KS in 2010, when KS cut taxes and almost went bankrupt. Tax cuts are usually invested overseas where the corporation can make more money from cheap labor. Example: Carrier got tax breaks from IN and still moved to Mexico because wages are ¼ US rate. 
Can our ‘reps’ end corporate loopholes and subsidies? How can Congress do that when our ‘reps’ get their election money from the same companies/lobbyists? They give profitable energy firms like Exxon subsidies they don’t need. We even subsidize profitable Disney with $1 billion. Isn’t gov subsidy really SOCIALISM like Russia? GOP’s propaganda of tax reform hides the increases for us.
Ask your ‘rep’ to end just one subsidy! While we wait,

The Don’s lifestyle spending is spreading to his cabinet
Washington is not being drained of mindless bureaucrats as he promised: it is being drained of operating expenses—our taxes. Tom Price decided he did not like being delayed in the airport like the rest of us so he got us to pay Thousands of our Dollars for a private jet. These are not the little ones but the big ones The Don himself uses: Dassault Falcon 900. Price got stuck in an airport due to weather and decided to fly like a private company big shot from now on. These trips are not cheap. It turns out Education Sec Betsy DeVos also flies on private jets, but she’s independently wealthy and apparently doesn’t charge taxpayers for her luxurious preferences. Treasury Sec Mnuchin used an Air Force C-37 jet to travel from Manhattan to Washington on Aug. 15 after attending Trump’s news conference about non Treasury ideas. ABC found that the one-hour flight, which cost taxpayers $25,000, was being investigated along with two other travel requests. He tried to use military jet for European vacation. Price used military for trips to Europe/Japan for $500,000. Don’s mob can afford own fare: Mnuchin has $154 mill and Price $8 million. Mnuchin paid for Mad Max, etc. Get money back?
Avoid taxes we will eventually have to pay for Don’s mob: https://www.amazon.com/ Tax-Credit-Class-your-credits-ZERO/dp/1539462382


Cut taxes? Most large corporations pay no taxes already—No firm pays 35%
Trump and GOP want to cut taxes for corporations but most don’t pay taxes now. Many store their cash overseas so they can’t be taxed. We can’t do that legally! We must pay tax on all worldwide income and most of us don’t have a legal team (deductible) to avoid taxes with legal gimmicks. For instance, some like Google use the Dutch Sandwich to save $3.6 Billion in taxes. Others use the Double Irish to use foreign tax laws we can’t.
Some receive our tax money as subsidies even though they are profitable: Nike, Royal Dutch Shell, Fiat Chrysler, Ford, GM, Intel, Alcoa, Boeing. 75% of disclosed subsidy dollars have gone to 965 big companies. We don’t know the total value of subsidies to all business but it is in the $ billions. Corporations have the money to make jobs ALREADY we make jobs by consumers having money. GOP targets our deductions: we end up paying more taxes (10% rate raised to 12%) instead of corporations paying their fair share. GOP says they are NOT increasing our tax rates even though they are by changing the income brackets. The net effect is we will pay more. Business keeps its subsidies and loopholes and keeps 2.5 Trillion overseas. They send jobs overseas not make jobs here! GOP just pushed the deficit to 20 Trillion and tax cut for rich will cost 1.5 Trillion more!

Trump to raise Medicare costs to pay for wealthy tax cut
Trump promised to leave Medicare benefits as they were but his proposal may cost us more. Trump has canceled pilot programs that would have penalized some doctors and hospitals and made others voluntary, among other changes. Tom Price, recently cited for charging his private jet travel to taxpayers, wishes to allow doctors to charge Medicare patients extra if the docs think the payments are too low. Duh, All do. This is a sneaky way to privatize Medicare through the back door. Doctors are barred from doing this now. "There have been all of these stories about emergency room surprise billing, out-of-network balance billing — none of that's a problem in Medicare," said Tim Gronniger, former CMS official under President Obama. "There's opportunities for really significant new costs for Medicare patients." Trump can use current regs to change rules.

Warren Buffett won the bet: Index fund KILLS high-cost funds
Results don’t lie. If you put your money where Warren told you to put it—in the Vanguard 500 Index, you would have earned 7% per year versus 2.2%. That means Mr Seides’ $1 million hedge fund investments have only earned $220,000 in the same period that Buffett’s low-fee investment gained $854,000. Buffett’s strategy is simple: bet on American business. Warren Buffett, the greatest investor of our time beats Wall Street at their own game by NOT trading or timing. A plain market index fund beat 92-95% of the returns of "professional" managers, including hedge funds. Stock picking by geniuses works only for a short time. Is your advisor a genius? Few picked and held Apple 30 years ago. Insiders may have an edge but it is illegal and you could get caught like Martha Stewart. To earn more, we pay as little as we can. You are paying too much!

Fact-based investing not fake Wall Street promises   
Fact-based Investing is now available to you. You pay no commissions or fees which reduce the amount you keep. If you are a long-term investor, you avoid giving up 63% of your potential accumulations because of charges. 
      This is our first fact: John Bogle, founder of Vanguard Group, the largest mutual fund firm, found that over 50 years of the normal 2% fees on your portfolio, you can actually end up with 63% less than you could have earned. It is simple math: your money earns 7% but the advisor, firm and trading/timing take 2%. Instead of $1.4 million at $250 a month you end up with only $670,000. The average managed-account equity investor earned just 3.79% a year over 30 years ended 2014. Inflation was 2.7%. The market benchmark returned 11.06%. We can invest in a fund that tracks the benchmark at the low cost of 0.04% and so earn 11% over time. We can eliminate any current or future taxes on the growth of our money as it compounds in a tax-advantaged retirement account. No advisor or computer system has proven to beat the market returns over time. Use facts to grow your account: https://www.amazon.com/Fact-based-Investing-first-million-hardest/dp/1977574270

Buffett strategy beats expensive complicated hedge fund advisors
You can earn 11% on your long-term money and end up with HALF a million dollars or more with one phone call. The average advisor-assisted investor earned just 3.79% instead of the market rate of 11%. We own stocks of companies with certain characteristics. We pay less and get more. We use a special investment account to eliminate all future income and capital gains taxes. It is IRS approved for workers only. No one can time the market successfully over time. We don't pay Wall Street owners the $1.3 Trillion per year revenues they take from their clients. One study found that the most successful investors were those that ‘forgot’ their account. Warren Buffett advises us to buy and hold forever too. Buffett has a record of 20% annual returns with 2 down years since 1965.


New TrumpCare ends 10 Obama guarantees for all Americans except Congress
GOP is asking GOP governors to push for Cassidy-Graham passage because their state will reap $ billions to save their state budgets from default. This political settlement provides money to the states (GOP states get double) to subsidize the old, poor and disabled health care needs. Bloc grants let states spend what they want on health or new statues. Your state can decide to let insurers charge more for those with pre-existing conditions or charge an unaffordable premium or charge less for excluded cancers or heart disease. We lose protections on pre-existing, ER, screenings, Medicaid etc. Even Cassidy own state Health Commissioner says it ends care for 433,000 LA citizens. Our ‘reps’ get to keep these protections in their plan so they face no fight for coverage. We taxpayers foot their bills and insurers can jack up the premiums every year. Insurers and lobbyists win and we lose again: the 32 million without any coverage plan!
The Don and Congress get to keep the 10 Obama guarantees; we don’t. Thank S. Collins


Can our ‘reps’ get elected w/o drug money?
Bernie Sanders thinks we can have health care for less cost. The only people who lose are the middlemen and women who get paid to stand between us and health care providers. They employ another group of wealthy people to tell our ‘reps’ what to do on laws. Americans pay about double what other countries pay in total for less care. Many Americans have to sit in hospitals all day to be seen. Millions who work for employers without benefits don’t get care and must get sick to go to the hospital for major problems especially in GOP states. Even if you have a plan, you get manipulated by the system. If the doc or hospital makes a mistake, your family will live through hell or worse.
Imagine paying nothing when you go to the doctor’s office—no copayments, deductibles or portion of your bill. Any prescription drugs would cost you no more than $200 per year. And for all this, you’d pay insurance premiums of just 4% of your income. Since everyone is covered, most doctors and hospitals will have to accept Medicare reimbursement. And there are no tricks from providers who lie about plan coverages.
The insurance company infrastructure would have to find something else to do. That clerk who tells you that you are not covered for the procedure your doctor recommends would need to find work. Also the hundreds at the pharmacy wholesaler who decide EpiPens should cost you $609 not $30. Also hundreds of marketing people who make TV and media adverts to sell drugs to your doctor. Yes, doctors are being told what to push.
SO:
If GOP can vote to end ObamaCare, they could help us and vote FOR Medicare for US

GOP religionists think god is telling storm victims to move
GOP rep says god is blaming storm victims for living in their homes. Jeb Hensarling, chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, was referring to the National Flood Insurance Program. The federal insurance covers flood damage for homes, which most homeowner policies do not cover. Buyers purchasing a property at risk of flooding are generally required by mortgage lenders to have a government flood policy. "The federal government is encouraging and subsidizing people to live in harm's way," said Rep. Jeb Hensarling in an appearance on CNBC Thursday. "At some point God is telling you to move." Trump’s judge thinks he is the spokesman for Satan, condemning children.
Some GOP think god sent Trump to save America. Some GOP religionists want to fill Congress with racist anti-civil law reps.

Congress continues to use illegal insider-trading to enrich members/staff
Congressional aid found out EpiPen maker was to be fined by Justice and sold his stock for huge gain. You and I can’t do that or we go to jail like Martha Stewart. Congress has refused to enforce a law against their own self-dealing. Individually they make a killing at our expense. Aide Daniel Swanson, isn’t alone. A POLITICO review of federal disclosures for 2015 and 2016 found that some senior aides regularly buy and sell individual stocks that present potential conflicts of interest with their work. A larger study, which looked at almost 62,000 trades made by members of Congress in 2004-2010, found outperformance of 22.13 to 24.16 percentage points under a one-week holding period on an annual basis. That short-term outperformance is significant, implying that the politicians were trading on time-sensitive information. Powerful Republicans, the 10 most important committees in the House or Senate, did best of all, outperforming the market by 32-36% under a one-week holding period annualized.

Tax bill leaves subsidies for oil, gas, agribiz, ethanol, coal, airlines, export bank, but not us

In the upcoming tax bill, which of these tax subsidies will Congress end? http://www.goodjobsfirst.org/sites/default/files/docs/pdf/UncleSamsFavoriteCorporations.pdf.
Here are the largest corporate welfare recipients: https://www.cheatsheet.com/ business/high-on-the-hog-the-top-8-corporate-welfare-recipients.html/?a=viewall.

We don’t know the total value of subsidies to all business but it is in the $ billions. GOP targets our deductions: we end up paying more taxes instead of corporations paying their fair share and GOP can say they are NOT increasing our tax rates. But the net effect is we get less. Business keeps its subsidies!

If the average income went up why do I not feel it?
Household incomes have grown in 2 years. More Americans were working, and more had health insurance in 2016 than the year before. In 2016, the median income of men was $51,640 but in 1973, the inflation-adjusted median income of men working full time was $54,030— $2,400 HIGHER. We have less purchasing power but we are paying more for everything: Taxes—federal state income tax, Medicare and Social Security. Some pay union dues and discounted health insurance. If you are lucky you invest for retirement and if really lucky you are buying a home and paying property taxes. Most surveys say that you are paying at least 34% just for taxes. Add union dues of $500, family smart phone plan $2,200, family health insurance $6,471, family leave insurance $26, unemployment insurance $138, and pension $6,000. You also may be paying $7,000 on your home and $2,000 in property tax. Most people live in states with sales tax and pay 5-7% of their disposable income on stuff they need to live. All 97 taxes.
This is why the GOP talks tax cut—BUT FOR WHO? Many rich people pay under 18% total tax while we are paying 34% according to Mr Buffett. Warren Buffett pays 17.7%. The wealthy ALREADY have a flat tax. President Trump claimed he pays as little as possible—1995 return shows he got a REFUND and had charge offs for about 20 years too. Until Congress cuts our TOTAL taxes, we all should …

Warren Buffett can be your investment 'advisor'
He does not charge trading commissions or fees. You can’t pick the wrong stocks. You can earn 11% on your long-term money and end up with HALF a million dollars or more with one phone call. The average advisor-assisted investor earned just 3.79% instead of the market rate of 11%. You use the strategy proven by Warren Buffett, the greatest investor of our time. We beat Wall Street at their own game by using Warren Buffett's strategy: buy and keep buying the largest mutual funds run at cost and owned by us, the investors. Buffett prediction: index beat best hedge fund ‘professionals’ by a mile.
            A plain market index fund beat 92-95% of the returns of "professional" managers, including hedge funds. Stock picking by geniuses works only for a short time. Insiders may have an edge but it is illegal and you could get caught like Martha Stewart. To earn more, we pay as little as we can. We own stocks of companies with certain characteristics.

Securities Commission warns investors about bogus designations/titles
Some of the letters after your advisor’s name provide little assurance of competence. Advisors make money from selling so the more gravitas they can impress on you the better. Some letters mean nothing except sales or conference attendance. Determine what the letters mean here along with a check on their complaint file. You are entitled to understand how your advisor and their firm get paid by you so don’t enter a contract without knowing what you get for how much. And consider that most charge fees forever, even when they don’t do well. Advisors become psychotherapists regarding your relationship with money. Financial success beyond the returns of simple market index account is hard to achieve over time. Always ask, “Is this plan really helping me” more than them. One study found that the most successful investors were those that ‘forgot’ their account. Warren Buffett advises us to buy and hold forever too. Buffett has a record of 20% annual returns with 2 down years since 1965. Is your advisor able to beat that record with all the titles etc? Remember, they are salespeople first. If you are paying too much, use Buffett as your ‘advisor’: https://www.amazon.com/Warren-Buffett-Your-Investment-Advisor/dp/1518690963



Which doctor and hospital is best if you need major surgery or treatment?
This is the question every citizen should be able to answer easily. But we can’t. The medical profession has convinced Congress it is not good business to inform us about specific ‘bad’ docs or hospitals. You may be able to obtain the information from the National Practitioner Data Bank through your Congressperson. We have to do our own research and some of the information we need is withheld like ‘malpractice payments.’ When I had colonoscopy, I asked each person involved if they accepted my insurance. I got a bill from an MD never heard of and told him NO PAY. I got help from the nonprofit Patient Advocate Foundation
There are docs I call ‘floaters’ at hospitals who ‘drop by’ even when you are unconscious and then bill you. Other people have been assured the docs are ‘in-network’ and were not. Each of us needs a witness and cell recorder if we go for elective or emergency services. Some docs are on https://www.healthgrades.com/ and https://www.usnews.com/ but this is general. Publica and Consumers’ Checkbook have complication rates based on Medicare data. See https://projects.propublica.org/surgeons/ and
Keep searching state and consumer sites: http://www.castleconnolly.com/ddi/index.cfm
Make sure your insurance covers all those involved—surgeon, hospital, anesthesiologist, specialists, hospital ‘floaters’: https://www.amazon.com/Health-Insurance-ONLY-right-policy/dp/1480125083


How to buy a luxury car at 50-60% off

Check the JD Power reliability study to see what current owners say about your choice before you research valid sales sites. Check the rating of the dealer too. Some used car salesmen continue to give the industry a bad name. And don’t forget to decline any add ons like insurance, warranties, undercoatings, transportation, clean up and ‘prep’ charges. Hey it is your money. Buy the financing from your bank or credit bureau if you have good credit. Most dealers make their money on the finance money.

Which of these tax subsidies do you want to stop paying for?

Which of these tax subsidies do you want to stop paying for?
Tell your Congress person you aren’t going to pay for it anymore. In the upcoming tax bill, which of these tax subsidies would you end: http://www.goodjobsfirst.org/ sites/default/files/docs/pdf/UncleSamsFavoriteCorporations.pdf. Here are the largest corporate welfare recipients: https://www.cheatsheet.com/ business/high-on-the-hog-the-top-8-corporate-welfare-recipients.html/?a=viewall.

Trump and GOP want to cut taxes for corporations but most don’t pay taxes now. Many store their cash overseas so they can’t be taxed. We can’t do that legally! We must pay tax on all worldwide income and most of us don’t have a legal team (deductible) to avoid taxes with legal gimmicks. For instance, some like Google use the Dutch Sandwich to save $3.6 Billion in taxes. Others use the Double Irish to use foreign tax laws we can’t.
Some receive our tax money as subsidies even though they are profitable: Nike, Royal Dutch Shell, Fiat Chrysler, Ford, GM, Intel, Alcoa, Boeing. 75% of disclosed subsidy dollars have gone to 965 big companies. The total known value of subsidies across the country came out at an estimated $110 billion, although it’s likely more.

Warren Buffett can be your investment 'advisor'
He does not charge trading commissions or fees. You can’t pick the wrong stocks. You can earn 11% on your long-term money and end up with HALF a million dollars or more with one phone call. The average advisor-assisted investor earned just 3.79% instead of the market rate of 11%. You use the strategy proven by Warren Buffett, the greatest investor of our time. We beat Wall Street at their own game by using Warren Buffett's strategy: buy and keep buying the largest mutual funds run at cost and owned by us, the investors. Buffett prediction: index beat best hedge fund ‘professionals’ by a mile.
            A plain market index fund beat 92-95% of the returns of "professional" managers, including hedge funds. Stock picking by geniuses works only for a short time. Insiders may have an edge but it is illegal and you could get caught like Martha Stewart. 
      To earn more, we pay as little as we can. We own stocks of companies with certain characteristics. We pay less and get more. 
     We use a special investment account to eliminate all future income and capital gains taxes. It is IRS approved for workers only. 
       No one can time the market successfully over time. We don't pay Wall Street owners the $1.3 Trillion per year revenues they take from their clients.

Who will be against ‘Medicare for All’ law?
99% of all Americans would benefit with FREEDOM from rising prices, co pays and deductibles, paperwork, anxiety of paying for illness if they could find an affordable plan, finding a medical team to treat their family from birth to death. Most people over 65 love having care with Medicare and Medicare Advantage, a system that was created because NO ONE wants to be searching for care after age 65 when NO insurer wants to pay the bills. So who is trying to kill Bernie Sanders’ bill? All insurers, drug firms, pharmacy benefit management firms and their hundreds of lobbyists and lawyers. These are the people who decide whether and how long each of us will live and die. Our doctors don’t make the decisions in consult with our families. Consider how many TV and magazine ads we pay for to boost a drug use despite side effects that make an erection last for 4 hours or kill you after promising “longer life.” Lobbyists are paid to tell our ‘reps’ what to do about health care. They have created this system. They were against Medicare when it started and they are against ‘Medicare for All’ too. Put the lobbyists out of business.
Tell your ‘rep’ you want to take back your health care management. We will save big!
You favor ‘Medicare for All.’ It’s not socialism but social security for our families just like all the Congress people and staffs have in Washington and the state houses! Equality.  

GOP religionists blame gays for god’s floods and get rich too
Religionists say “this flood is from God,” punishment for the former mayor of Houston attempting to subpoena ministers’ sermons. Some attribute the storm to a wrathful God’s vengeance on liberals. Pastor Rick says storms don’t “happen by accident.” Pastor Kevin Irma would be altered by God if the Supreme Court quickly made abortion and gay marriage illegal. ‘Pastor’ Rush says Irma is way to advance liberal agenda on climate change. ‘Pastor’ Alex asks the govt to fix Irma before it floods FL. Most GOP believe Darwin’s evolution theory is wrong and the world was created recently. Today, 16  SIXTEEN million Americans think chocolate milk comes from brown cows. Trump wants TX churches to receive federal funds for flood damage even though they have insurance. GOP budget spending bill allows churches to influence elections for ideologues. GOP is twisting Christ teachings to favor the ‘Pharisees.’

Buy American Mr Trump!
Save America--buy cars and trucks by buying Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Yes, most models sold in America are made in America, while several Ford, GM and Dodge models are made in Mexico and Canada. Check where your vehicle is made: https://www.kbb.com/car-reviews-and-news/top-10/my-car-is-made-where/2100000943-20/

Save up to 50% on the price of slightly used luxury car
If you do not wish to pay to rent a car forever (leasing), your best deal could be buying a 3 year old luxury model like a BMW 3 or 5 or E class. For instance, after a 36-month lease, you could nab an E350 for $33,727 or less (48.4%) off the original price. For one of the safest and most recognizable luxury cars on the market, you could do much worse for a $65,000 car. In Consumer Reports rankings of the 2014 luxury models, E-Class scored best in reliability among German models.

Do you pay taxes at a higher rate than the idle rich?
You probably pay federal and state income tax, payroll tax, Medicare and Social Security and maybe union dues and hopefully discounted health insurance. If you are lucky you have enough left over to invest for retirement. If you are really lucky you are buying your home and paying property taxes. Most surveys say that you are paying at least 34% just for taxes. Add union dues of $500, family health insurance $6,471, family leave insurance $26, unemployment insurance $138, and pension $6,000. You also may be paying $7,000 on your home and $2,000 in property tax. Most people live in states with sales tax and pay 5-7% of their disposable income on stuff they need to live. All 97 taxes.
Warren Buffett pays 17.7%, Mitt Romney pays 15%, John Kerry pays 13% and Apple pays 9.8%. Buffett says he does nothing special to avoid taxes. Looks like the wealthy ALREADY have a flat tax Mr Cruz. Congress is NOT talking about cutting our TOTAL taxes. We could if we ended all the subsidies and loopholes. President Trump claimed he pays as little as possible—1995 return shows he got a refund and had charge offs for about 20 years too. Until Congress cuts our TOTAL taxes, we all should …

So you want a safe high return on your money?
God has not created that investment yet. To receive a high return with little chance of loss you must give your money to a bank as the owner. To receive a return of 10-12% per year with little chance of loss, you must leave your money in profitable companies for a period over 20 years. In a business, there are many factors that determine if the owners make money in any given year. However, most of the largest firms will make money or the owners would hire a new manager or sell their shares.
There are no safe and sure businesses like salesmen describe in a get-rich-quick scheme. Just ask Warren Buffett, the guy who consistently makes over 20% a year for his company owners. Buffett recommends you buy low-cost index funds that own many companies and pass the returns on to you. Simple. But it’s hard to wait.

Your KEY decisions on Social Security start before Congress cuts back on benefits
GOP Ryan has vowed to cut benefits because we are getting older. Reagan fixed SS in the 1980s so you must wait for your full benefits. Ryan wants to cut benefits instead of increasing the salary cap beyond $127,200. If you are wealthy, you don’t pay ANYTHING into the system because you have dividends not wages: you get the benefits. Why not tax ALL income?
Your decision is Option 1: keep working and collect more. Benefits are 76 percent higher than it would be if you started taking benefits at 62, and 32 percent higher than it would be if you claimed at age 66, your normal start age. Option 2: Start at 62 because you could die. Option 3: Claim your spouse benefit if married 10 years. Option 4: Even if they die, you can claim theirs. Option 5: Ask SS about the difference between widow/widower and spousal benefits. Option 6: Ask for help to apply for disability benefits. Option 7: Know your benefits now: http://www.myretirementpaycheck.org/. Option 8: We almost lost $1,485 a month in benefits because we failed to visit the local SS office. If you fail to find your correct option early, you can’t go back.

Medicare for ALL
Bernie Sanders thinks we can have health care for less cost. Americans pay about double what other countries pay in total for less care. Many Americans have to sit in hospitals all day to be seen. Millions who work for employers without benefits don’t get care and must get sick to go to the hospital for major problems especially in GOP states.
Imagine paying nothing when you go to the doctor’s office—no copayments, deductibles or portion of your bill. Any prescription drugs would cost you no more than $200 per year. And for all this, you’d pay insurance premiums of just 4% of your income. Since everyone is covered, most doctors and hospitals will have to accept Medicare reimbursement.
The only people who lose are the middlemen and women who get paid to stand between us and health care providers. They employ another group of wealthy people to tell our ‘reps’ what to do on laws. The insurance company infrastructure would have to find something else to do. That clerk who tells you that you are not covered for the procedure your doctor recommends would need to find work. Also the hundreds at the pharmacy wholesaler who decide EpiPens should cost you $609 not $30. Also hundreds of marketing people who make TV and media adverts to sell drugs to your doctor. Yes, doctors are being told what to push. Can our ‘reps’ get elected w/o drug money?
If GOP can vote to end ObamaCare, they could vote for Medicare for US.

Trump is still just a mafia contractor from Queens—Dad taught him to be The Don.

Smoking gun: “Our boy can become president of the USA and we can engineer it,” Sater wrote in an email to lawyer Cohen. “I will get all of Putins team to buy in on this.” 

Trump’s group places mob ties above country; it’s about money POWER not US service.

Mobsters don’t call the FBI when Jr doing an illegal deal with fellow mobsters.


Russian agent admits to propaganda war on US. We were duped by pro-Trump agents.

Ministry of Truth1984 novel:
There is deal on DACA, The Wall, storm funds, debt, taxes. The dealmaker always wins.
Trump: middle class is the focus of tax plan, taxes on the wealthy need to increase.

My Theory:
No one expected him to win so no harm getting Putin help. Don owes Vlad’s mob money so they sent mob gofer Manafort to run the campaign. ‘Colluding’ Putin style.


TrumpWorld – using presidency to make money the old fashioned way: theft


Dictator talk time:
“When the president does it, that means it is not illegal,” Richard Nixon

The Don is moving us to a dictatorship where the only people who go to jail are his enemies and non whites he does not like. Racists and nationalists get pardons. If Flynn and Manafort get indicted by Mueller, The Don will just give them a “get out of jail free” card so they don’t rat him out.
Dictators use “back to law and order” to limit rights, fill jails, fund army, follow enemies.
Trump associates fear his revenge more than the special prosecutor and jail for lying. 


The president can’t have a conflict of interest.” The Don is above the law?

Quid pro quo: "something for something."
Govt voter integrity witch hunt commission for suppressing DEM votes in 2018.
DACA deal to let immigrants work and pay tax but not vote DEM in 2020.
Wall funds in form of ‘border security’ bill.
Trump rescinded Obama flood reg so Houston builders could build/flood anywhere.


How many Americans would vote to bring back Obama? He did things we need done.


Regulation is necessary: We need protection. Saves $12 billion of our money!




Trumper misunderstands NH voter rules and claims voter fraud gave Hill election there.
            Trump staff has 2 state voter registrations too: it’s legal: NO FRAUD study shows

SCAMS:
Flooded cars make excellent used car scams: note the signs before you buy.
DEMs fooled again. “He likes us. He likes me, anyway,” Schumer. Trump likes only one.

Jobs:
Trump doubled the apprenticeship program—skip college debt and earn now.

Who owns your account now?


Miracle:
Can anyone shut Hillary up about all the people who lost her election for her?
