When it comes to President Trumps big tax plan, Democrats are worried not that it will fail but that it will succeed, igniting the U.S. economy and providing so much economic growth that all those low-information voters out there will see the leftist scare talk of the last 25 years has been complete rubbish.
Those fears are shared in Moscow, Tehran, Pyongyang and Beijing. Americas adversaries are worried that the U.S. economy, chained down by Obama, Clinton and Bush globalists for the last several decades, will actually make America great again under Mr. Trump. Im talking Ronald Reagan great again. For just as economic weakness begets military weakness, economic strength produces military dominance.

Well, it is a political satire regarding federal economic policy.
So Antonym and Uncle Henry represent the oppressed working class?
Ha.
Well, maybe against their beloved federale bureaucRATs, but that un-Constitutional behemoth isn't even supposed to be there.
(friggin parasites)
Google the Wizard of Oz and the Free Silver Movement.
NO no no....the Munchkins represent the little people. The Wicked Witch of the East was their oppressor.
Well, that was very interesting and believable. Thank you for turning me onto that, goodman.
Hahahahaha. Okay, You win.
Well played.
No, it’s true. Every character in that story represents a real person or entity in the politics of the day.
But you got to admit. In the quip war, you kicked my ass. Munchkins as little people put you over the finish line. Cause, you know....munchkins ARE little people.
I just started out by acting like I thought "antonym" meant Auntie Em and it turned into a teachable moment for me. See how my smartass mouth can be a positive thing?
And just to teach me another lesson, I got out funnied by YOU. Your gung fu is quite splendid.
I know what the poppies represent, but did they say what the snow represented?
What do the poppies and the wizard represent?
Don't tell me. Poppies = religion, as the opiate of the masses? Or maybe communism?
Thanks!
I also do my best to excel in the "smartass" sector.
Don't think I haven't noticed. I keep a mental list of the people of my tribe.
The poppies are the popular issues that keep the public distracted from the real goings on...much like the current media attempts to do....(and the President to a certain degree using that tactic against the press)
The Emerald City represents Washington DC, afloat in greenbacks (transition from the gold standard to paper money) and the Wizard is a generic president.
By the way...Oz is the abbreviation for ounce (of gold)
The tin woodsman represented people turned into machines with no heart (factory workers) by the Wicked Witch of the East, (Industrial revolution) and the Scarecrow was the Midwestern farmer who believed he had no voice in DC (treated as stupid) oppressed by the Wicked Witch of the West...the drought. Dorothy killed her with water.
The flying monkeys were supposed to be the American Indians.
I'm gonna go with this take. It's quite excellent. Witch as drought killed by water is awesome. And so is Emerald City as greenbacks.
Yeah, the monkeys make more sense in the book version.
In the movie, actor Frank Morgan not only played “The Wizard of Oz”, but also the gatekeeper to the city, the carriage driver, and the guard at the Wizard’s palace.
Personal income is $13T, so a 10-15% flat tax would bring in 1.3 to 2T. Unless you are planning to double tax some of that income.
You dont get it do you, you inconsiderate person.
Trump is a billionaire businessman and is determined to run the government like a business. Hes only one guy negotiating with 535 politicians.
