Presidential candidate Donald Trump's newly released tax plan is putting the plight of the middle class in the spotlight. On Sunday, Trump told CBS News anchor Scott Pelley his tax plan is "a substantial reduction for the middle-income people ... [b]ecause our middle class, Scott, is being absolutely decimated." The decline of the middle class has been going on for over 50 years, and no politician, pundit, or media outlet has focused on it sufficiently.
Who are the poverty pimps?
Any politicians who have ever voted for legislation that took money out of Americans pockets and put it in failed programs in the manufactured War on Poverty. Any activists, including clergy, who have lobbied for more funding for failed programs. Any progressive radicals who have called for an end to capitalism in favor of creating a majority of low-income workers. Any nonprofits that have brought in billions over the last 50 years in the name of eradicating poverty.

And history is proving him right.
The fact Trump is the only one pointing out what’s being done to the middle class in this country increases my respect for him tremendously.

It's time they pay up and are finally held responsible.
No joke.
We'll make America great again, not the rest of the world.
The hopes and dreams of hundreds of millions of producing Americans have been utterly destroyed.
Their hard earned money taken from them and given to a group that squandered it.
Consider: If those producers hed been allowed to keep that money and thus send their kids to a better school, they could have gone farther in life.
America wants it’s 22 trillion $$$s back.
I’m good with that
Not a surprising comparison, once anybody thinks about it, but the amount spent on “poverty programs” in the past fifty years, is somewhat GREATER than the national debt. Had noting at all been spent on “reducing poverty”, we would have a $3 trillion SURPLUS right now, and the poverty rate would not have been changed one whit.
War On Poverty - a liberal euphemism for buying off the black vote while destroying the black family...
I must call revrunt sharpton and axe fo my money...
