Tax reform breaks are for the wealthy

Tax breaks for the wealthy do not trickle down. They only put pressure on budgetary choices and shrink the total amount in the Federal Budget allocated to help those most in need. Thank goodness my folks got the help from Medicaid they needed, while they were alive to afford long term convalescent care. It is children and the elderly who will suffer the result of these warped and misplaced priorities.

Be sure, Rep. Herrera-Beutler, the people of the Third Congressional District will be made aware. And you will lose your seat from the political tsunami coming for you, or will lose your majority status in Congress. As goes Virginia, so goes the country next November.
