A random thought about Republican Party Leaders

Taking into account the actions of the President, Vice President as well as Republican Congress members, I am reminded of these verses from the Bible: Isaiah 14:12-14

12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

I took into account the actions of the following men.

Why is President Trump pushing his tax reform so early?

Tax reform is being pushed by President Trump before information is even seen by Democrats or Republicans.  He wants to cut off the Democrats at the pass.  From his own mouth, he has said it will benefit the middle class. Cutting the taxes on businesses that make a lot of money benefits only  the upper economic class.

STOP! Mr. President you have forgotten one very important economic group. We are the group that the middle class stands on.  People like you stand on the back of the upper class. The lower economic class is the base of the pyramid that the middle and upper economic class stand on. My mother taught me one thing that you seem not to know. I have found that it applies to businesses and large organizations,  (Be careful of the backs you climb over to get to the top. They are connected to the behinds that you might have to kiss on the way down.)

I never use the word social in front of economic. There has been changes in our culture. Knowing what to wear to a dinner party or what fork to use does not indicate that social mores are present. I have known and  helped  people in the lower economic class when I could walk without falling. There is more grace, dignity, and social mores present in this economic class than any others.

Now in the midst of a natural disaster bigger than any I could find listed for this country, our President want to push his agenda on tax reform.  There is a time and place for everything. This is not the time and place for the President to do this.

I can't find material available on this tax reform. Paul Ryan And Mitch McConnell are working on their own plans. When a person or President does this, there is only one question to be asked. Mr. President, I am extremely tired for 60 questions. What have you done and where are the bones buried?

The "Skinny Repeal" would have hurt the American people the most

The Democrats and three Republicans did not kill the "Skinny Repeal" of the Obama care act.  Arrogance and a close minded  attitude killed it. No body but the Chief Bully and Crybaby with his acolytes know what is right for the American people according to them. I am referring to the socially acceptable due to their monetary influence. The rest of us can go to hell because they never figure us in on their decisions except to get rid of us.

One part of this "Skinny Repeal" got to me. Big companies with  more than 50 people would not have to provide health insurance. Without the law, I know of too many companies that would not give insurances to their employees. Educated people talk loudly when they go to dinner. Their money I guess is supposed to create a sound barrier. (It does not and poor people share information.) They toast the Chief Bully and Crybaby for helping them not spend money.

If they truly wanted to help, they should have done one thing first. Let the insurances that had $5,000, $10,000 or more deductible come back. They were cheap and affordable. One trip to the E.R. ate that deductible. Let you in on a secret, all insurances leave a person owing a bill. There were cheap HMO's and PPO's.  Let people have a choice to choose them over Obama care. Keep this for 10 years before looking to change. Remember people change slowly and accept change even slower. Heel's were dug in because the Republicans tried to cram their decision down Americans throat.
