You can end Obamacare in conjunction with mass deportations, but that isn't going to happen.

Gee, where I am, I don't see any Mexican's. But I do find it funny a Pakistani family can sit on welfare that owns a Papa John's franchise.
I have no idea why that is and I really don't care because it is a exception and not a rule.
I'm not willing to deny those who need assistance because some get it without the true need.
For as long as someone making over $500k can have a much lower effective tax rate than someone making $40k, I don't care. (many times even paying less in actual dollars)
The problem is, they get all of you that are paying the brunt of the taxation in the $40k - $180k income range to think that the reason your taxes are so high are those at the bottom end getting stuff for free.
It fits their political purpose. They want to end all social programs "."
They just need to give you a reason for you to stand by without a fight while they legislate that into existence.
The Republican party will never lift a finger to change immigration except to keep it right where it is right now. It's good for grandstanding for votes and they get money from the folks that use that cheap labor.
I noticed that 10 years ago. When they almost had a compromise and then a few senators jumped up and made a ridiculous amnesty claim and got the issue to hot to handle and it stopped in it's tracks.
The republicans have been in control for 2 years. If they really wanted a change, it was as easy as those massive tax breaks. Where is it ? What a fool believes ?
I believe in reforming the system. For real. It has become a political football everyone wants to keep playing. It could be fixed if not obstructed as it has been.
At present, healthcare has been the same political football. But it is going to change after 2020, that much I am sure of. You will have little choice in as few as 7 years.
Flat rate taxes and no deductions is a good start. Then we can pay for health care.
