Trump plan hurts America

Between 1981 and 1988, President Ronald Reagan, a Republican, incrementally reduced taxes for America’s rich from 70% to 28%, as America shifted into deficit spending.

At the turn of the century, President George W. Bush, also a Republican, slashed taxes for the rich, followed in 2008 by the greatest economic disaster since the 1929 Great Depression.

In December 2017, President Donald Trump, a Republican, also cut taxes for the richest Americans. He slashed precious life-support entitlements for the needy and the elderly. In attempts to overturn Democratic President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act, Trump failed to provide a feasible remedy.

By 2021, the top 10% owned nearly 70% of the nation’s wealth.

Over four years, Trump guided America’s destiny in lawless violation. I feel he succeeded in attaining a moral decay in America, by avoiding the truth of matters.

This November, dispense of the notion to aid and abet this convicted felon, or suffer the dire consequences of his abolishing life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness in America.
