Punk Rock Art Corner: We Salute The Senate's Glorious Strong-Arming of Trump's Tax Scam

<"Now the GOP will pay 

the political price 

for a bait-and-switch, 

just as it did on Trumpcare, 

which paid for tax cuts 

for the very rich by cutting Medicaid. 

Republicans seem incapable 

of avoiding these 
reverse Robin Hood schemes.">

<Jennifer Rubin, 

"Right Turn,"

<USA Today>

"Together, we will give 

the American people 

a big, beautiful Christmas present."

<President Trump>

 "Our focus is on 

helping the folks 

who work in the mailrooms 

and the machine shops 

of America; 

the plumbers, 

the carpenters, 

the cops, 

the teachers, 

the truck drivers, 

the pipefitters -- 

the people that like me best."

<President Trump>

"My donors 

are basically saying, 

'Get it done 

or don’t ever 

call me again.'"

<U.S. Rep. Chris Collins (R-NY)>

“I think
 not having the estate tax 
recognizes the people 
that are investing, 
as opposed to those 
that are just spending 
every darn penny they have, 
whether it’s on booze 
or women or movies.">

<U.S. Senator 

Charles Grassley (R-IA), 

Des Moines Register>

<Political Algebra>

“I have a rough time 
wanting to spend 
billions and billions 
and trillions of trillions 
of dollars
 to help people 
who won’t help themselves. 
Won’t lift a finger, 
and expect the federal government 
to do everything.”

<U.S. Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT)>

<XVI Poem>

Laws are created to be followed

by the poor.

Laws are made by the rich

to bring some order to exploitation.

The poor are the only law abiders in history.

When the poor make laws 

the rich will be no more.

<Roque Dalton>
