Last week, the Republican Party in the United States Senate passed a so-called "tax reform" bill. In all likelihood this legislation will be reconciled with the version passed by Republicans in the House of Representatives and then signed by Donald Trump into law. These "tax reforms" have no redeeming social value and are evil; they will give hundreds of billions of dollars to the richest Americans by taking money from the poor and working class. In total, this "tax reform" bill is part of a larger plan to eviscerate the social safety net by destroying programs such as Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.
