Whatever happened to "government of the people, by the people, and

There is NO "the people". Some will always be left out, like all those
who did NOT vote for Trump.

I didn't vote for Trump (Gary) but I wasn't left out of the tax cut.
It saved me about $600 compared to running the same return on the 2017
tax code.

Yes, and now the budget deficit, which was down to just $580 bil when Trump
took office, is on track to be ~$1 tril this year, with total debt exceeding
$22 tril. Trillion dollar deficits in a decent, expanding economy.
Nice work by Trump and I hope you enjoy your tax cut that someone
will have to pay for before too much longer. I'm sure Trump is enjoying his
tax cut and doesn't give a damn. Cohen related how in 2008 as Trump was
cutting staff salaries by half, he was enjoying his $10 mil tax refund and
commenting on how stupid the govt was to give it to him. So much for today's
"conservatives" too. Obviously deficits only matter when Democrats run them.
