					<description><![CDATA[&lt;b&gt;Bannon offers grassroot conservatives an alternative, GOPe doesn’t like competition, they want the monopoly they have been enjoying for so long to continue, so they vilify him.&lt;/b&gt;

I remember that the vilification was used by Breitbart against Breitbart&#039;s own staff, Shapiro included, as well as what the Alt Right there called Lying Ted Cruz.

The Alt Right and Bannon doesn&#039;t like competition and they needed a monopoly of political control to unify the Alt Right against the Left, so they used Alinsky, not just vilification tactics.

How easy the boys of the Alt Right forget their own sins and illusions.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;b&gt; also the fact that Shapiro left Breitbart after the Lewandowski case which he stupidly believed.&lt;/b&gt;

It was more than Shapiro that left to protest Breitbart Bannon&#039;s faction hijacking and taking Trum&#039;s side vs a Breitbart member&#039;s side.

Trum still hasn&#039;t cleaned out the FBI, let alone the rest of the swamp of evil in DC.

The Alt Right can only subsist on the strong horse of endless and repeatable victories. They lack the cohesion of the Leftist alliance and the powers that be.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[“If you make $40,000, we can’t find the money to increase the child tax credit, but if you make a million a year we can?”

I assume that&#039;s a quote from Rubio. 

Is that a populist sentiment? Stick it to the rich? 

The problem I have with this is how much does the bottom tier of tax payers contribute to the total tax base versus the top tier?

Since those folks pay little to no income tax, the only thing left to reduce is the payroll tax-- but that&#039;s not a tax, that&#039;s a premium supposedly towards social security.

Since we all seem to acknowledge SS is just welfare by another name, I guess it doesn&#039;t matter if folks don&#039;t pay anything towards it.

But this might be why they&#039;re applying the reduced rate to the top wage earners instead of the bottom:

&quot;The Wall Street Journal’s Richard Rubin writes that “Some high-income business owners could face marginal tax rates exceeding 100% under the Senate’s tax bill, far beyond the listed rates in the Republican plan.”

How is this possible? Tax breaks that fade as income rises combined with the elimination of the deduction for state taxes can create a combined federal and state tax rate that exceeds a business owner’s marginal income.&quot;

					<description><![CDATA[expat said: &lt;i&gt;Keep up the pressure by evaluating all representatives on how well they are really representing their voters. Right now, feminist and gay rights issues are the priority for the Dem establishment. The Reps hav to learn to undercut this by focusing on everyday things that really matter to the people.&lt;/i&gt; 

That made me think of something Senator Rubio said of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/marco-rubio-in-tough-spot-on-tax-reform/article/2643401&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;tax reform bill&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;blockquote&gt;Rubio and Sen. Mike Lee of Utah wanted to exchange the slightly higher corporate tax rate for making the credit refundable against payroll taxes. That change would have meant tax breaks for millions of low- and middle-income families with no or little income tax liability.

Instead, the deal struck in conference would raise the corporate tax rate and apply the savings to lower top individual tax rates. Because both bills set the brackets for the top individual rates at very high levels, the changes in conference would effectively be bigger breaks for millionaires.

					<description><![CDATA[Is Bannon to blame for this? No. He didn&#039;t endorse Moore until Aug. 28, two weeks after Moore and Strange had advanced in the primaries. 

And as to who is responsible for the defeat of Brooks, it seems that is fairly laid at the hands of Mitch McConnell.
