What is the effect of it . Not all tax cuts are equal. Were going to see that here. Who wants to be taxed . When i think about it overall, when i think about it, lets be honest. We have pretty good lives, right . Ridiculously blessed. I am happy to be more in order for other people to have better lives. I have a different take. Go on. I want to hear it. Theres an assumption. I used to say exactly what you just said. Look, thank god i can. Ill pay more. What are they going to do with my money . Are they actually going to give relief to people .

Ridiculous partisan investigations. If there is going to be peace and legislation, there cannot be war and investigation. It just didnt work that way. President gave no sign hes interested in compromise on Border Security with another Government Shutdown or possibly another National Emergency declaration. Looming next week, he dug in on what he called the very dangerous border with mexico. No issue better illustrates the divide between americas working class and americas Political Class than illegal immigration. Wealthy politicians and donors push for open borders, while living their lives behind walls and gates and guards. My administration has sent to congress a common sense proposal to end the crisis on the southern border. It includes humanitarian assistance, more law enforcement, drug detection at our ports.
