While the common folk collect their peanuts from the tax plan corporations are taking advantage of their lowered tax rate from 35% to 21% to destroy what is left of the 'American Dream'.

Harley-Davidson decided to close a plant in Missouri, cutting about 350 jobs, open a new plant in Thailand all while buyback their own stock (how is this legal?).

Republicans claimed that lowering the corporate tax rate would 'trickle down' to the workers and open up new jobs.

This assumption directly opposes one of the most profound and vile aspects of human nature - greed.

We humans are greedy to a fault and to believe that corporations would be benevolent and pass on their wealth to its employees is pure insanity.

This Tax Plan's minor cuts for individuals was a Trojan horse to distract us from its true goal - to provide more money for corporations in order to buyback their own stock, keeping the stock market bubble inflated and the economy appearing 'strong'.

I wonder if the 350 Americans who just lost their jobs feel our economy is 'strong'.

I wonder if the 350 Americans who just lost their jobs feel tax plan kept jobs in America.

I wonder if the 350 Americans who just lost their jobs feel that Harley-Davidson is just another greedy corporation.
