text: It is quite interesting that the democrats who are supposed to care about the underdogs, resist reigning in government spending and instead push large increases in highly regressive taxes like the general sales tax disguised as a corporate tax, the transportation bill which would impose regressive tariffs on gas and such, and the medical tax which would be regressively passed on to patients.  The dems are happy to puff and huff about Trump as being bad, bad, bad, but when it comes to concrete decisions affecting the supposed core democratic constituency,  the dems step on the poor and disadvantaged.
