Yet today, even though as a country we are much more wealthy, even though we have knowledge and technology far exceeding what we used to have and, even though our workers produce far more per person than ever before, we are told that we can no longer do the great things we used to do. We are told our government can only take from the middle class, that we can no longer afford the things we want and need as a country and that the American middle class has to work harder for less.
Now, as our top tax rate is historically quite low (and at 14% Mitt didn't even pay half that much), our country continues to sacrifice and become more indebted for the Reagan/Bush/Bush/Romney/Trump/Ryan Republican party’s one goal: more and more and more tax breaks for the rich. It’s a downward path.
We need to do what is right for this country not just what is good for the top one-tenth of 1%.
Tax the Trump Class, pay down the debt, invest in our country and our people.
That is how to really make America greater.
