Trump Tax Reform - Ensuring The Rich Are Not Inconvenienced

     Millions of working and middle class Americans rushed to embrace Trump, certain that his circle of billionaires and millionaires were looking out for their interests. If people could ignore the noise of the culture wars that politicians try to ignite, and which politicians can do nothing about, and focus instead on the class wars that politicians do something about, perhaps then they will vote out of their own economic self interest. The much promised tax reform that Trump most certainly did not write, and probably never read, will benefit the same group of people that American politicians have been pandering to for decades - the rich. Regarding the estate tax, where the super rich can pass on their estates without paying taxes, it is another way to continue America's slide into oligarchy.
     It appears to be more important to have deficit spending than to have the pampered wealthy pay more taxes. And so, the Trump tax reform will continue the unproud tradition of ensuring America is a land for the rich ruled by the rich.
