More distraction to take our eyes off legislation. Watch tax reform and don't believe what you hear in the media. The control of SCOTUS and this big payday aka Tax Reform were the prime reasons why this election was so hard fought and so much $$$ contributed. Due to Citizens United ruling we have no idea how much, but you can bet it was a lot. The corporations and donors will get it back hundreds of times over, or more. Raising taxes on the wealthy is not the solution, it is requiring corporations to start paying at all. If you want to know part of the reason why we are $20 trillion in debt, look at the corporations, and how their taxes have dropped since the 50's. Over 100 paid no taxes (with a zero) from 2008-2012. Some got huge refunds. This is not a party issue, even though (R)s stand for business. It is about government overall working against the people vice for them. Now the Treasury Secretary is trying to scare the public with a market crash. It has already been proven that it doesn't trickle down, but flows at high speed right into corporate treasury. The link is dated but I'd encourage anyone that cares to do some research. If anything it has gotten worse. We are being played in the worst way.

It appears that both campaigns were willing to go down the low road......no surprise there. Can anyone name a campaign where opposition research was not practiced? This particular piece of information does lend itself to the notion that the Trumpsters were more than willing to collude, if not with the Russians directly, with an organization gathering their information from the Russians. This may not be a smoking gun.......but it is smoking a bit.
