Most disingenuous is his indication that the recent tax cut bill is helping the economy. The facts are that the tax D cut gives very small, temporary benefits to the middle and lower class and much larger, permanent cuts to corpora- kno tions and the very wealthy, thereby adding an estimated this e $1.5 trillion to a deficit already expected to hit record lev- ing in r els in the coming years. I assume that by giving a pittance to 90 percent of the to k population (while increasing fees and cutting programs which many rely), this administration believed it could create cover, while adding to the record wealth disparity in this country. The top 1 percent of the U.S. population currently own 38.6 percent of the country’s worth, while the bottom 90 percent own 22.8 percent. These levels, which we have not seen since the early 1900s, will become much worse as the tax cuts, reductions in estate taxes and other “gimmes” to the wealthy go into effect. I would not have believed it possible, but D’Amato goes further afield on foreign policy. When is the last time an American president had 2 million British citizens sign a petition demanding that he not be allowed to visit their country due to racist statements and policies?
