Dear Senator Toomey:
I sometimes wonder if the Republicans in Congress really understand what they are doing.
- a permanent tax cut for corporations; a temporary one for individuals.
- another attempt to end health insurance for millions of Americans.
- a tax on tuition benefits for college students.
- a ballooning deficit, and the forlorn hope that the economy will boom and offset the cuts, which has never happened yet.
- an end to the estate tax (or as you so cutely label it the death tax) which affects fewer than one percent of American citizens.
I could go on, but why bother? You are an intelligent man; you know what you and your colleagues are doing. And for what? To claim a victory for Trump. It may be a victory, but it is leading to a hereditary aristocracy, it is punishing the middle class, and it is rewarding the people at the top. Some victory.
In anger,
Roy Christman
