reduce taxes on the rich to zero. Leave nothing for the working class. Plus stick workers with ALL the taxes. In the end that is what the GOP really intends to do. Follow the rhetoric and look at the stance.

An the American people just say almost nothing.

1. Trump wants to be your Land Lord every where you might live.
 
Life should be an endless orgy with Donald providing the entertainment. Fealty to the reality will be extended to Donald's descendents in perpetuity. 

<<<off to find out if ol' Bob's county Democrat party out there in Colorado knows yet, that he won the prestigious Top DUmmie of 2016 award; it's surely worth a mention in their newsletter.

Pretty much describes Ocare.

Whoa.  I just checked the Jefferson County (Colorado) Democrats, and saw something.

There's a Safeway grocery store located near party headquarters.

Isn't Safeway like a rusty old relic from the 1960s or something?  The chain evaporated from Nebraska a very long time ago.

Hey, Bob, you know what that really sounds like?  It sounds like a perfect prescription for being blown out in election after election, because there's a lot more of the working class than there are rich folks, and sooner or later they're gonna say "Enough of this shit!!!".

Now,remind me, which party just lost control of the presidency, both houses of Congress, 3/4's of state governorships, and 90% of the state legislatures over the past 8 odd years?
Here's a clue, it wasn't the GOP. Apparently a sizable majority of the country agrees with me on that.

Rather, it seems the working class finally realized that "Leave nothing for the working class. Plus stick workers with ALL the taxes" is and has been the Democrap party's end game all along.

It's going strong here in CA.

It's a good thing that TMN is giving longer fuses to his wacky predictions. He really should avoid predictions with a short fuse, like the one he posted about what Rs will do during the Inauguration festivities.

Where do these DUmmies come up with this crap?  Trump has repeatedly said that he wants tax cuts for working people and also to raise the tax on non-earned income. However he does want to lower corporate taxes, since the US is among the highest in the world.

Name 1 tax that isn't ultimately paid by workers.

And if they splutter on about taxes not being passed on to consumers remind their lying asses about the tax-per-bullet schemes they always want to impose on gun owners.

By definition, the working class benefits from none of those.

Looks like there are 5 Safeways in NE, that being one. The one that is farthest east is in Ogallala.

Safeway is a western US chain, mostly, with some stores in VA and MD.

They were all over Nebraska, in just about every town, when I was a kid--say, until the late 1970s, when they abruptly closed up shop and left.  What I most remember about them was that their aluminum store fixtures usually had rust on them.

As long as Trump and his evil cabal does not tax my schadenboner I think I will make it OK. Otherwise I'll be broke in a month.

Between W-pedia'ing Kroger several months ago and doing the same for Safeway and Lucky Stores (A CA chain - or two, with the rights to use the same name), I've learned that mergers, acquisitions, sell-offs, and spin-offs are a way of life in retail, as is divisions operating under their original names. (e.g. Kroger operates various types of stores under 2 or 3 dozen names in various states and regions).

Safeway is headquartered in Pleasanton, CA (basically the East SF Bay Area) and is a western US company. I'm guessing the plains states were as far as Safeway managed to expand, didn't do well, and they pulled out (except for those 5 stores in western NE; how they got stores in MD, I'm not sure, but my guess is that it was a merger).

It was during the late 1970s that Safeway pulled out of many small towns in Nebraska and practically everywhere else excepting the far west and.....Washington, D.C.

It might've been in the newspapers at the time, but I didn't notice; I have no idea why they did that, pulling out of all of these areas but adamantly remaining a slum grocer in the capital.  I'll bet they had to be creative with distribution from the west coast clear over to the slums of the east.
