Dear Mr. Trump,

I see that you’re bragging to your ultra-rich friends that you’ve just made them a lot richer through your tax bill.

That’s obviously why they wanted you in office, but what about the millions of poor and middle-class people who voted for you, buying into your lies that you would help them? Do you think for an instant that they’ll fail to see the trick you’ve just pulled? A small, temporary increase in the after-tax income of some – by no means all, because many in the middle class will pay more taxes thanks to your thievery – and then the cuts expire. Meanwhile, your corrupt Republican party will soon say “Whoa! We need to cut Medicare and Social Security to balance the budget!” and these cuts of safety net programs won’t matter a bit to your ultra-rich friends, only to the people who mistakenly put you into office.

What you’ve done is akin to chopping up most of the poor and middle-class voters who put you in office – as well as the Americans who didn’t – and feeding them with the parts of their own bodies until they die. Our deaths, your objective, no doubt.

Very truly yours,

Bruce J. Berger
