Um, the tax cuts aren’t for us. Ours go up, according to the Tax Policy Center. Only the really, really rich have their taxes go down (to zero, if Ryan gets his way). If I’m going to have my taxes go up, I’d like it to go to deficit reduction, education, research, health care, and infrastructure. Making America great, instead of starving it. The rich are doing just fine.
Actually, the spending cuts (which focus 62% on the poor, according to Robert Reich’s analysis) would be better dramatized by a dagger in the back than a sword through the front.
I thought everyone had forgotten about the federal aid to states that particularly helped poor states to provide a competent education equal to the other states.
Just before the crash of 1929, the robber barons were riding high, wages for the rest were low. The crash came, no one had safety nets. Mass suicides, even for the rich, (maybe they were ashamed but doubtful, suicides for men whose families were starving. Starving, illness, riding the rails, hobos, homelessness.Skip to the present and very much similar conditions, including the droughts of the mid west. But Now we Do have safety nets, so there will be fewer bad things. Or at least we will if the R&R get elected. They will ruin this countries people. The rich already have more than about 99% of us combined. They want every penny. The rich have let their greed think for them.
Good ‘toon Tom. It’s a shame that most people will not understand that when the GOP talks about tax cuts they are referring to less high schools, less police officers, less EMS…

Yes spending cuts for the bozos in DC but more money for us to spend for ourselves.

None, since the federal government DOES NOT PAY TEACHERS

Remember that a large part of Ryan’s budget is switching programs from federal to state budgets. Where are the states going to get the money?

Austerity for the masses, tax cuts for the richest! Some plan!
