"Tell the miners what they want to hear, get their votes, and then pick their wallets clean on behalf of the billionaire class, all the while paternalistically patting their heads and whispering, "It's all coming back, you'll see," privately marveling at how easy it is to get away with it all.

Coal country is measurably, demonstrably lacking in literacy levels, while excelling at teen pregnancy, obesity, and smoking rates, and Republicans are taking full advantage of the lack of intellectual evolution in the "hollers" and company towns.

Meanwhile, the miners sneer and scorn Hillary Clinton's plans for free college and free job training in renewable energy sectors as they wait in pathetic earnest for coal to stick around indefinitely, as though it went away only by some mean-spirited revenge wave of a liberal magic wand, and is about to be brought back by the wave of a wand from a billionaire who hasn't ever had to draw his own bath or drive himself anywhere.

You really have to kind of hand it to the Republicans Party for successfully convincing the miners that their plight is a priority of the billionaire class, and that anything socialized is the work of the Devil."

"Coal has as a good a chance at making a comeback as the rotary telephone, lead paint, the Rolodex, and the two-pack-a-day cigarette habit.

Most Americans have moved on from Trump's 19th and 20th century ideas, but a certain brand of calcified Know Nothing loves to stand still and stupid as the world passes them by.

Wind and solar are as competitive or cheaper than fossil fuels and they don't trash the planet.

Only a misanthrope could love filthy, fatal coal.

Loosed Lips? shocked Former Obama official discloses rush to get intelligence on Trump team
A former top Obama administration official has acknowledged efforts by her colleagues to gather intelligence on Trump team ties to Russia before Donald Trump took office and to conceal the sources of that intelligence from the incoming administration.
I was urging my former colleagues and, frankly speaking, the people on the Hill, it was more actually aimed at telling the Hill people, get as much information as you can, get as much intelligence as you can, before President Obama leaves the administration,” Farkas, who is now a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, said.

Because I had a fear that somehow that information would disappear with the senior [Obama] people who left, so it would be hidden away in the bureaucracy ... that the Trump folks – if they found out how we knew what we knew about their ... the Trump staff dealing with Russians – that they would try to compromise those sources and methods, meaning we no longer have access to that intelligence.”

The comments come as lawmakers on Capitol Hill clash over House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes' claim last week that surveillance operations incidentally collected Trump team communications during the transition. Critics have accused Nunes of carrying water for Trump and called on him to recuse himself from Russia matters, but Nunes and his congressional allies have pushed back.

Aside from questions over whether communications were improperly gathered during the transition and before, there is speculation over how widely such information was disseminated. Farkas described a rush to spread the material before Trump took office.

"So I became very worried because not enough was coming out into the open and I knew that there was more. We have very good intelligence on Russia," she said. "So then I had talked to some of my former colleagues and I knew that they were trying to also help get information to the Hill''.

Since you are making fun of her for her looks, why don't you show your monkified face and your Kwashiokor ravaged body. At least she is not hiding like a cave skunk that you are. Show your ugly face and let's see the family of monkey your lineage comes from.

Seriously, I hate to get on your case but your foolishness and idiocy is beyond understanding. The tape you showed has been doctored by Hillary's detractors. Obviously, yo do not understand that Democrats are the one safeguarding the Middle Class in America against the Republicans cutting taxes for billionaires and multimillionaires. That's why the tax proposal by Trump is dead even before releasing it. I don't blame you to understand how taxes is so emotional in America since you don't pay taxes in your enclave with that little Naira you earn. Boy, go take a chill and hush your trap.

Why do I even bother with you for bleeps sake angry angry angry

This was debunked during the campaign and the transcripts of her speech clearly stated "We aren't going to raise taxes on the middle class".

Read her positions:
http://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/a-fair-tax-system/

Restore basic fairness to our tax code.

Hillary will implement a “fair share surcharge” on multi-millionaires and billionaires and fight for measures like the Buffett Rule to ensure the wealthiest Americans do not pay a lower tax rate than hardworking middle-class families.

She’ll close loopholes that create a private tax system for the most fortunate, and she’ll ensure multi-million-dollar estates are paying their fair share of taxes. Read the fact sheet.

Close corporate and Wall Street tax loopholes and invest in America.

Hillary will close tax loopholes like inversions that reward companies for shifting profits and jobs overseas. She will charge an “exit tax” for companies leaving the U.S. to settle up on their untaxed foreign earnings.

She will close tax loopholes that let Wall Street money managers pay lower rates than some middle-class families. And she’ll reward businesses that invest in good-paying jobs here in the United States. Read the fact sheet.

Simplify and cut taxes for small businesses so they can hire and grow.

The smallest businesses, with one to five employees, spend 150 hours and $1,100 per employee on federal tax compliance. That’s more than 20 times higher than the average for far larger firms. We’ve got to fix that.

Provide tax relief to working families from the rising costs they face.

For too many years, middle-class families have been squeezed by rising costs for everything from child care to health care to affording college.

Hillary will offer relief from these rising costs, including tax relief for Americans facing excessive out-of-pocket health care costs and for those caring for an ill or elderly family member.

Pay for ambitious investments in a fiscally responsible way.

Hillary believes that we can afford to pay for ambitious, progressive investments in good-paying jobs, debt-free college, and other measures to strengthen growth, broaden opportunity, and reduce inequality.

Hillary will use the proceeds from ensuring the wealthiest and the largest corporations pay their fair share to pay for these investments without adding to the debt.
