Who's the president? Who's to blame?

Some say, "Why do you still talk about Obama's faults when Trump has been in office for over a year?" Here's why. 

1) Democrats don't treat him like he's the president so we can still blame Obama who has his people embedded in Trump's administration, and 

2) Democrats have been such obstructionists over everything and brought law suits, he's only had a few weeks to accomplish tax reform, improve the economy, secure the borders, revitalize the military, bring hope and pride back to America, stop the ridiculous mandate to jail those who don't buy health insurance, appoint excellent people to the courts, get the U.S. out of a non-binding Climate agreement, defund the organization that kills more females than all diseases, accidents and abuse--Planned Parenthood, defeat ISIS and end the Korean War. 

If he were a politician, he'd not have accomplished anything.

 

One tax proposal is not popular with college students

One guy in the Washington Post reported the tax plan could cost him $11,000! Well, how big was his subsidy that it was so high he'd pay that much? I had two graduate assistantships back in the 60s, and I don't recall the tax plan. But if I got the assistantship, someone else didn't, and may have taken a job as a student janitor, or meal server, and had to pay full taxes on that. (There weren't many fast food places then.)  Both my jobs were really cushy--one (translating medical newspapers) I could do at home and not use a baby sitter. The other was in library science and wasn't difficult at all. The student who pushed a broom or washed windows or waited tables didn't have that luxury. The student who went to a college instead of a university didn''t get those jobs, and tech school students didn't get them. I think that still applies today. There's a lot of politics and influence in who gets these subsidies, and to give some students a free ride from the federal government while the university continues to raise the costs on everyone else, is pretty fishy.

Tax reform

So no wonder Democrats claim ANY reform will benefit the rich. They pay the bulk of the taxes, money that could be invested in businesses, charities, or their children's education which employ millions of people, or on spending and purchasing from other businesses which support workers who do pay taxes.The top 1 percent paid a greater share of individual income taxes (39.5 percent) than the bottom 90 percent combined (29.1 percent).
