Trump, the man with a dream of a Wall

[Seabass]

I have every confidence that most of the Trump base won't learn any such lesson. They live at the pace of social media news, and the effects will be far enough down the road from the causes, that the connection won't be made. Trump will find a scapegoat, yell "fake news," and escape blame.

Yep. Our only hope is that their kids are less crazy.

Two HHS officials leave family planning office amid changes
Cathy Deeds and Mary Vigil, who were both senior advisers at the Office of Population Affairs (OPA), are no longer employed by HHS, a spokesperson confirmed Thursday.

OPA runs the Title X grant program, the only federal program that focuses solely on funding family planning services, like birth control and testing for sexually transmitted diseases, for low-income women and men.

Deeds and Vigil came from conservative, anti-abortion rights backgrounds and worked under the OPA's former deputy assistant secretary Teresa Manning, a former anti-abortion rights lobbyist who left the OPA in January.

It's not clear if Deeds and Virgil resigned or were fired. An HHS spokesperson said they have nothing further to add "at this time."

Changes to the Title X program were announced through a funding announcement in late February, months after grantees expected information.

A Trump tax success!

the top 20% of income earners now pay 87% of all income taxes. https://www.wsj.com/articles/top-20-of- ... 1523007001

The results show how steeply progressive the U.S. income tax remains. For 2018, households in the top 20% will have income of about $150,000 or more and 52% of total income, about the same as in 2017. But they will pay about 87% of income taxes, up from about 84% last year.

By contrast, the lower 60% of households, who have income up to about $86,000, receive about 27% of income. As a group, this tier will pay no net federal income tax in 2018 vs. 2% of it last year.

Roughly one million households in the top 1% will pay for 43% of income tax, up from 38% in 2017. These filers earn above about $730,000.

The fair share has been reached!

Round of applause everyone - Trump has done it! Give the guy a hand, for pushing through that tax overhaul which placed a greater tax burden on the rich than under the previous set-up.

Lemme here ya say - yeah! Yeah! Trump's tax plan is even more progressive them before! yeah! yeah!

Anyone...

...... anyone?

I think they can afford 95%. Let's make them. In exchange, we'll give them only a small death tax, like 20%. That way the descendants have to Do something instead of sailing and playing croquet all day. Croquet? Yes, it's a rich folks thing. No Walmart mallets there.

Can you believe that regressive Obama didn't even do as much as Trump and the GOP did? He should have had them paying 95% by 2010. Guess he wanted the unfairly burden the po' folks.

Fuckin' crooks. It never ends.

On March 29, ABC News broke the story that Pruitt received a terrific deal on a rental townhouse less than a block from the Capitol building, at 223 C Street, Northeast, for the first six months he lived in DC in 2017. The problem is the property belongs in part to the wife of a high-profile lobbyist, J. Steven Hart, who also contributed to Pruitt’s political campaigns and has as his client Cheniere Energy, the only liquefied natural gas exporter in the continental United States. His wife, Vicki Hart, is a health care lobbyist.

In March 2017, the EPA approved a natural gas pipeline extension from a company represented by Hart’s firm, Williams & Jensen, while Pruitt was living in Hart’s wife’s property.

And in December, Pruitt jetted off to Morocco to pitch “the potential benefit of liquified natural gas (LNG) imports on Morocco’s economy,” flying in first class with his head of security and another staffer.

Well, it was all a scam. The rich pay less tax now. Because their income is corporate tax, which was lowered.

Incorporate!

Well, it’s actually true. The wealthy pay themselves only as much ”income” as they need. Just enough to maintain every house, castle and golf course plus staff. The rest is plowed back into corporation that will grow. When they die, death tax is long gone. All is passed off to useless croquet playing partying offspring with 0% tax.

I know how to be rich. Just need my daddy to give me my first millon.

Trump Questioned Why CIA Avoided Killing Terrorist’s Family: Report
http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/20 ... eport.html

Later, when the agency’s head of drone operations explained that the CIA had developed special munitions to limit civilian casualties, the president seemed unimpressed. Watching a previously recorded strike in which the agency held off on firing until the target had wandered away from a house with his family inside, Trump asked, “Why did you wait?” one participant in the meeting recalled.

But your tax revenue is going to fall, and the biggest reason for that fall will be the rich receiving the biggest share of the tax cut.
