Karnowski: Tax bill is an outrage

Print
The tax bill that the Republicans are "Trumpeting" right now is an outrage with its permanent harmful changes to our economy.

The transfer of wealth from have-nots to the upper 1 percent is a crime, not an accomplishment.

No governing ability went into this bill, just add-on measures that benefit the real estate corporations with $414 billion proposed for large developers. This will result in at least 1.5 trillion dollars in hits to our national debt.

Obviously the top one-tenth of one percent of the US population will benefit and will forget about the rest of us.

Someday when our children ask us how this happened, we will have to try to explain it, but it is pure greed.

It is not acceptable, but there is little to be done since the bill was crafted in secret closed partisan hearings and tweaked only to benefit more greedy legislators.

Very sad developments and certainly nothing to be proud of as basic human health concerns, schools and infrastructure are being cut back so heavily.
