I just submitted my condolences to all non-wealthy Republicans on FB. I will remind them in a couple of years when they see the fruits of their labor.
Here is what I posted btw:
"My dear Republican friends, at least those left still reading my posts:I wanted to send you my condolences at the passage of the new tax bill by the Republican House and Senate. You may not feel it now nor a few years down the road, but I wanted to put this down in words so when FB gives me a chance to remember this day, I can share it with you all again when it makes more sense.
I also want to remind my Republican friends that their representatives in both houses made sure to pass this bill and their president will sign it into law. Please keep this in mind come 2018, when you decide whether or not to reelect this representative. Do they truly represent your interests or are you better able to see how the wealthy and powerful have bought agendas not designed for you?
To the students being worked with low pay and some semblance of comfort in the tax breaks for tuition, my condolences. To the people living in expensive states with high property taxes, I wish you the best. To the people not buoyed by wealthy relatives passing down their money and assets, I hope you find other means to make ends meet. To the lower middle class and less moneyed, I am sorry your burdens will become greater. And finally, as a catch all, to those not benefiting from the agenda of the moneyed minority of our beloved country, I am truly sad on your behalf.
To those who rejoice in what the Republicans have accomplished, who see their wealth now increased and ensured on the backs of people already struggling to pay for their livelihood, I cannot say well played. If it was well played, it would have involved some ingenuity, but when you have as much wealth and power you all have, this is shooting fish in a barrel. I hope whatever is left of your tattered conscience is at least giving you heartburn.
Sincerely,"
