No smoke and mirrors the truth about party politics and taxes

It is this simple. If you can whip up enough racism and ethnocentric frenzy, people will vote against their economic interests if they believe black and brown people are getting something for nothing, and you have created a military industrial complex where entire regions of the country benefit economically from war. There is simple math which confirms the truth.

The truth remains. Republicans want tax cuts for the top 2%. Democrats want a return to progressive tax rates of the eighties.

The rest is just perfume and lipstick on a pig.
