Tax cuts for the wealthy, not social programs, are the economic problem (#3684)

     The same old discredited trickle down economic argument by republicans is killing our society. They will not stop trying to help the obnoxiously wealthy gain even more wealth at the expense of our democracy. It is frustrating for me that too many are not schooled in basic economics and how our democracy has to distribute wealth on a much more fair scale. If we let all the wealthy take most of the money then we will lose our democracy to authoritarianism and dictatorship. It is that simple an equation to understand, https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/commentisfree/2018/jan/21/this-is-how-democracies-die.
     So when the republicans passed their tax cuts for the wealthy and it hurt our incoming revenues they immediately began to blame our social programs for the disparity in incoming revenues. Instead of the logical fact of the tax cuts reducing revenues. They switched the narrative halfway through the debate. But I won't let them tell me the lies of their agenda. I as well as millions upon millions of others know that giving revenues to the rich is what is stifling our economic purse, not the meager social programs that are here to bolster democratic values. This is simple in some respects and it must be shouted from the rooftops that the republican party is making our social programs work harder than they should but nonetheless these social programs stabilize our society and give real life opportunities where all too often privilege and advantage are roadblocks.
     If our nation does not heed the call for saving our democracy we will lose it and republicans will not care one bit. They will then purge our society of all who would dare have a thought outside the republican programmed status for living in America. We will have a dictator like trump and a government that is all about a survival of the fittest environment. The hunger games but for real. this isn't some conspiracy I have under an aluminum foil hat, it is the likely outcome of a republican controlled America. The only way to end this nightmare of a possible looming reality is for those of us who are patriots to democracy working our tails off to help in any possible way to change the narrative from republican talking points to one of an anger at their usurping of our Constitutional guarantees.
