As always, he’s full o’shit.
Here’s part of the “fair and balanced” email his buddy Lindsey sent out yesterday:
TAX REFORM IN THE SENATE
Dear Friend,
The United States Senate will begin debating tax reform tonight and I want to hear from you on this important issue facing our nation.
Supporters of Tax Reform:
President Trump supports tax reform and has pushed the Senate to pass this important piece of his agenda for America. In fact, he came to the Senate yesterday to push Senators to support this plan. His pitch was simple – hard working Americans should be allowed to keep more of what they earn. According to the nonpartisan Tax Foundation, in South Carolina the average family would be allowed to keep $2,391 more in their pocket. The legislation also will benefit business by creating more than 13,000 jobs in our state.Opponents of Tax Reform:
Opponents of tax reform have said they believe it is unnecessary and the Senate should defeat it when it comes up for a vote. They have expressed concerns that tax reform could benefit the wealthy at the expense of the middle and lower income Americans. They have not offered an alternative proposal and feel our current tax system is working as intended.
Also full o’shit.
Brief Thanksgiving tale. Not much political conversation around the table (although my nephew did tell he that he had it out with his banshee mother a few days earlier—she was still going on about Obama being a Muslim, and my nephew called her a racist—good times). My brother’s big concern seemed to be whether cartoon characters ever blink. Families are such fun.
