Opinion: Christmas won’t be this good next year, Winthrop man says

To the Editor:

To those of you too young to know or those who don't remember, Ronald Regan gave a tax cut very similar for the rich and business, he also gave a token to the poor.

I can tell you that my school, land, gas, sales, auto registration, utilities all raised out taxes and in some cases they doubled. Then along came HW Bush who raised taxes more than Regan lowered just to get to run the federal government.

There has never been a GOP tax cut for the middle class that didn't raise the deficit, in my 50+ years. Looks like the tea party caved in, I guess they all (wealthy representatives) looked out for themselves?

Yes Trump is draining the swamp of all the gold for the rich and himself; even the Russians? Merriest of Christmas as the next likely won't be this good.
