Added you two to the ping.
Government isn’t supposed to lower taxes when so many depend on the services they provide. She must have government confused with running a business where concepts like ‘effeciency’ and ‘profitability’ are guiding principles. ;^)
Wadda concept
Amen to that.
Beauty,brains,courage & common sense....as familiar to liberal leftists as God,guns & guts. As Ann Coulter once said, “To liberals,winning is everything.” They don’t care how or why,just so they WIN.

The only hope for this country is to send 'outsiders' to Washington with sledgehammers. That place is in dire need of remodeling.
What a smart, PRETTY woman! Can she run for Texas governor, if she hides her birth certificate?
Keep in mind, this after her administration already raised the taxes, and made that change retroactive.
Congress levies taxes, not the administration (which signs it.)
It was here proposal in the first place.
