#BREAKING: Rep Raskin to #Maddow: "What I see are all the tell tale signs of a COUP. A coup is a seizure of state power by UNELECTED actors, who work to take over the critical infrastructure of government outside of the rule of law, and that's what I see as going on right now."

Trump wants to extend his tax cuts for rich individuals, which would add $4.6T to the deficit. But he wants to go even further, cutting the corporate tax rate to 15%. It's yet another absolutely shameless giveaway.
