Working Americans No Longer Citizens, Just Peasants

D.R. Tucker at Political Animal:

The Republican tax deform (that’s not a spelling error) bill passed by the Senate on a 51-49 vote early this morning is nothing short of a hate crime against the economically disadvantaged, a declaration of holy war against the poor. In supporting this bill, the GOP has made it clear that for all practical purposes, the party wishes to, in effect, strip anyone not in the one percent of the benefits of citizenship.

Remember: Every single Democratic Senator voted against this un-democratic, un-American monstrosity. And every single repug Senator except Bob Corker voted for it - including Kentucky's Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul.

The deadline for filing to run in Kentuckjy's 100 state house elections and 19 state senate elections is January 29.  The people who win those seats will re-district the whole state and decide whether the repug servants of the rich or the Democratic people's representatives will prevail for the next generation.
