So, who's complaining about tax reform?

So, who needs deductions for the payment of local real estate taxes?

I'd much rather see AT&T and Comcast get a deduction on their corporate tax rate, like from 35 percent to 20 percent. That's only a 57 percent deduction in the tax they'll pay. Bully for them.

And as for medical expense deductions. who needs them? I'd much rather see Goldman Sachs and the Koch Brothers and every other really big cor­poration get that nice 57 percent deduction. It kind of matches up with the 57 percent increase I'll see on my tax return, doesn't it? It sure would; and it sure would be proof of my commitment to the party.

Of course, it follows the cut in food stamps for the really needy. (Serves them right for getting needy, doesn't it?)

And the really great cut for the costs of the "Meals on Wheels" pro­gram are justified when you consider its greatest effect is for - mostly - old folks, who can't help themselves at this time in their lives, anyway.

I'm so glad the so-called president and the GOP leaders Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell are now able to repay the rich (super-rich) for the donations they have made to the party, and to them.

I'm just wondering, if they keep this up, will we have to buy our own tin cups or will they be willing to supply them (for a minor fee, of course)?
