Be sure to tell your Senators and Congress to VOTE NO on Trump's Tax Cut for the Rich Bill. Resist Corporate Greed.

It's a tax increase for the vast majority of Americans. It's proof that the Republicrimes are paid employees of the super rich. Majority Rule no longer exists in the USA. It's One Dollar One Vote not One Person One Vote.

Here is how to contact Congress:

Many ART pages on this blog... Like, totally trippy... my best work!

How I meditate. I Lie down in a quiet room and close my eyes. I Look at what I see and pay attention to the patterns behind my closed eyelids.

I Focus on my breathing. Breathe very deeply and constantly.
This causes a great deal of oxygen in the body. Including my brain.
I feel tingling on my extremities, my nose and cheeks.
If they itch, I take a moment to scratch instead of paying attention to the itching...
If I'm breathing thru my mouth, I pay attention to the wind on my tongue and lips.
If I'm breathing thru my nose I can feel wind inside my nostrils and on my moustache.
This technique requires that I pay attention to many things at once.
My Eye-Closed Visuals, My Breathing, The Mantras and The Thoughts flowing thru My Imagination.
In "Real Life", Multitasking does not work. Here it's a technique I use to free my mind...
and visit altered states of consciousness...
Silently say these mantras... changing them at will... Make up new ones as they appear...
When I notice thoughts, I either pay attention to them if they are worthy and try to control their flow...
OR...
I ignore them, send them away and return my attention to my visuals, my mantras and my breathing.
This technique is part of an Idea Mining Practice... Hoping to Harvest New Concepts for Art, Lyrics and Tales...

Trump won because the Russians Helped. So, he OWES them a Favor... a BIG favor... and he has Delivered by not implementing the Russian Sanctions Law passed by Congress and Signed by Trump...

The Russians have demonstrated that they believe that Social Media can Influence Elections in the USA. They bought advertisements against Hillary on Facebook, Google and Twitter in 2016. They also paid "Trolls" to write "News" articles and Blog Posts helping Trump win. I believe that they are correct. Social media DOES influence public opinion. Especially Republicrimes... They will believe whatever they are told to believe and it helps to shout at them and with them. They really loved shouting "LOCK HER UP!" at the Republicrime Convention. Democrats and Independents and Libertarians have a tendency to think for themselves and so what works with them is facts. Truth. Not so with Republicrimes... Remember, It takes two to make a lie effective, the Teller of the Lie AND the Believer of the Lie.

History has shown that Trump has caused much damage to the people who voted for him but they believe his lies anyway. For Example: Trump has gutted the EPA so that it no longer protects the Environment... and where does it fail most often? In locations that have Trump Voters... Trump was very popular with uneducated people. Trump's "BASE" is himself, other Billionaires and people that are Easily Fooled... Another example is the Dept of Education. The DeVos Family heads that agency
and they support vouchers for Private School instead of funding Public Schools... That way rich people do not have to pay for public schools. Their own children do not go to Public Schools so they ask "Why should we pay?" ... This is the strategy of the Koch Family as well. The rich want to pay less taxes and provide less services because they personally don't use them. Another Example is the Dept of the Interior. They plan to let corporations drill for oil in public parks. They also want to do more mining on public land. This benefits owners of corporations but harms regular people. You and I will be restricted in our ability to go visit parks because the corporations will build fences protecting their oil wells. With Coal mines, the product itself causes Global Warming when used to create electricity by burning it. What is currently being mined in West Virginia is sold to foreign countries but the air pollution is blown arount by the wind and causes climate change here in the USA as well as in foreign countries.

Ronald Reagan campaigned on the slogan "Make America Great Again." Trump simply quoted Reagan...

We have not seen Former General John Kelly since he was CAUGHT lying at the White House Press Briefing Podium. I guess that he is afraid of reporters questions about the false story he told about our War in NIGER. Hopefully this is a trend... Maybe all people that lie at the White House Press Briefing Podium will never return...

What IF we had a Tax Reform Bill that CUT taxes for the Poor and Middle Class and DID NOT increase the deficit by 1.5 Trillion Dollars?

If we had MAJORITY RULE in the USA we could have a Congress that passed Laws that made life better for the Poor and the Middle Class. There are more of us than the 1%.

If we had a real Tax Cut then the majority of Americans would have more money to spend in our paychecks. That would increase sales and profits in American Corporations. The New Profits would be used to pay increased corporate taxes and that would make the effect on the deficit ZERO.

This is called Bubble Up Economics a proven winner. Remember when Obama gave everyone a discount on New Cars? MANY new cars were sold.

The Republicrime Plan is to cut taxes for the wealthy and increase taxes for the rest of us AND increase the Federal Deficit by 1.5 Trillion Dollars. President Bush the Elder called this VooDoo Economics and it Failed when it was tried by President Reagan.

Write or call your elected Representatives...

Why not pass a TAX Reform Bill that increases the Federal Deficit by ZERO DOLLARS and NOT give the Super Rich a Tax Cut of 1.5 Trillion Dollars?

The exact opposite of Trump's Plan... The Super Rich already have a lot of money so why do they need more? Can Compulsive Hoarding of Money Syndrome be cured? YES! The French perfected a method in 1789. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Revolution

I feel that the fellow that went to Alexandria in order to Shoot Republicans at a baseball practice was completely wrong. Republicans are merely the paid employees of the Rich. Republicrimes simply do what they are told... Killing Republicrimes would accomplish nothing because the Rich will simply hire others to take their place... The true solution is to have MAJORITY RULE. What we have now is Corporate Rule and that's not working very well.

Another GUN NUT commits mass murder in the USA. Why not make guns illegal? That would reduce the number of guns and decrease the quantity of Murder...

Texas Church killing, Las Vegas, Columbine... When will we wake up?

Great Book: "Dreams from My Father" by Barack Obama. Insight into the problems of Black people in Chicago...

Autobiography... He was born and raised in Hawaii then spent three years living in Indonesia with his stepfather. Went to college in LA and NYC and then became a "Community Organizer" in Chicago. It's difficult for me to grasp that such a career exists... Yet, he did that and it paid him enough to buy Rent and food, a car etc etc etc...

Amazing... His main concern was how to get Black people jobs in a rust belt city. A generation before, they worked in factories and steel mills but by the time Obama got there all those jobs had gone to China. He did not succeed.

I admire his efforts to try and solve a problem that seems impossible to solve. To this day, Chicago has terrible troubles in the Black neighborhoods. Murder, gang violence etc etc etc
