The nation was in an absolute uproar as the GOP tax bill passed Congress Wednesday and made its way to President Trump’s desk, with millions of irate citizens expressing their total fury over the fact that the federal government will now be taking less of their money week in and week out.
Hordes of protesters gathered in the nation’s capital to decry the decrease of government taxation of their incomes, sources confirmed.
“America is dead,” one weeping woman said as she found out she would be giving the government $2,000 less under the new tax plan. “If ever there were a time for Americans to rise up and revolt against government oppression, this is it.”
“George Washington died for our right to give large portions of our paychecks to the federal government, and today Republicans are dancing on his grave,” she added before screaming wildly at the sky in hysterics.
At publishing time, relieved citizens discovered that the new tax rates are merely minimums, and they are free to pay as high a rate as they wish.
The are no roadblocks to sending more $$$ in.
Just do it lefties.

Saw one Leftist tweet “I’m gonna take the difference and give it to charity!”
Responded “uh, yeah ... that’s kinda the point.”
No Joke! I don’t FB much. But,.... I engaged an accountant acquaintance of mine who seems to have left leaning, liberal political opinions. I would have just continued to lurk. But I noticed that he had posted a few statements and memes on FB over the last few weeks about how bad the tax cuts were. For the rich, hurt the poor, for big corps., etc.
Then, on Monday he noted how misleading the whole tax plan was. He had switched to “nobody is getting anywhere NEAR the tax cuts they think.” There were some comments and in those comments he acknowledged that the rich were getting hosed by this tax plan and that his tax cut was “not enough.” He was actually arguing that the plan should have reduced the taxes he and his family should owe.
I couldn’t resist and posted, “BOB! Welcome to Right! When are you changing your party affiliation and start voting for Republicans?” That seemed to end the entire thread. LMAO!
LMAO!!
