Populist Fraud

Actions shout, words only whimper.  Trump has preached from the populist hymnal, but has seated big business and big money in the front pew.  TrumpCare cut taxes for the rich, and cut benefits and increased premiums for everyone else.   The repeal of broad band privacy rules allows big business to profit from your private information, without your consent.  Cut back of clear air and clean water regulations, choke the poor, but not the wealthy, who can afford  pristine vacation homes.

Trump's tax reform will be the next big test.  Who will get the biggest tax cuts?  If the cuts are across the board, who will pay for the "free lunch."  For instance the proposed border tax, is a hidden tax on consumers.  You will pay higher prices.  Such a "tax" hits the middle class hard.

Don't put money in the collection plate if big business and big money are taking it out.
