I teach children music, private lessons, in their home. It is my only means of support, as I was violently widowed last year, lost my house, and am living from check to check.

Probably most, if not all of my customers make more than $400,000 a year. Once these punitive tax rates kick in, they will start cutting back on goods and services that they consider superfluous.

Guess who will be the first to go.

Prayers up. It's gonna be a long time to summer.

I feel bad about the girl my daughter has to let go. She's a good kid, bright and smart, and now in a very tight spot. If I could help her out, I would, but.... That desk drawer is closed as of yesterday.

I have a friend who used to manufacture ceramic bath fixtures for jet planes and yachts. I say "used to" because when they passed increased taxes on luxury items back in the 90s, he had to discontinue making them. One of his customers was Trump. But, because of the tax hike on luxury items many little businesses disappeared.

People think that somehow because the top 2% are getting it now that us in the lower 98% don't have to worry. They better think again, because they are aiming for all of us.
