The USA Governments are sinking fast and they need to bail out the system.Right now they talk about Freebies for all to save the system for supposed service jobs but the flip side is pure socialism with no manufacturing jobs.A.I. will be the big mover of production and only hard physical work will available for the working poor. Any technical blue collar physical work will  be inflated to higher wages to get them to work. The budget deficit will soar and The petrol dollar will weaken. Only thing left for them is a WAR for dominance.

    With idiots in Congress and the White House scrambling to see who spend the most in this election year, tax increases will not be limited to states.

    Our income taxes increased 35% under the Trump tax plan and over the last 3 years, our property taxes have increased 50%.

    Or maybe they will tax you out of your home to give to some illegal.  And do all the other tax stuff too.  But have no fear, first they will have to declare firearms a national health risk, take the gun from citizens, then mobilize the military against the citizens.

    It's really very simple. My tax liability for 2018, with a 2 1/2 % pay raise (and no change in tax bracket) was 35% higher than it was for 2017.
    Understand??
    I'm sure it's an assault on all that's held dear around here, but DJT's tax plan wasn't good for everybody. 
    Edit: I haven't filed for 2019 yet, but it won't be any different.

    They will do this so newsom can get his foot in to property tax to pay for his projects. Didn't he get recalled, yet?
