Suddenly Democrats care about deficit?

It just kills me how the Left is whining about what tax reform will do to the deficit. When Obama became President in 2008 the deficit was $10 trillion. When he left office, it was close to $19 trillion.

I never heard Nancy Pelosi or Chuck Schumer complaining about that. What they do is hold press conferences and have disabled people wheeled out to say how tax reform will hurt them. From what I understand, people who make under a certain amount of money do not pay any income tax. In fact 45.3 percent of Americans 77.5 million pay no income tax.

So how will tax reform hurt them? All these politicians, Republicans and Democrats, put on a good show in front of the cameras and go out and have a drink together toasting their 30-year cake walk jobs that they have.

The bottom line is tax reform will not affect most of the people in the middle class and upper middle class who do all the working and paying taxes in this country.
