Greg Gianforte counts his money while people get sick

The mummified corpse of Trump and Ryan care was resurrected in order to create budget space for the enormous tax break Republicans want to give the wealthy. It is as simple as that. They don’t care if people get sick and they don’t care what works or doesn’t work. This is a fundamental problem since even the most bigoted Trump supporter really doesn’t want to lose their healthcare coverage. This is causing huge problems and opening up big opportunities for Democrats in races thought uncompetitive just a few months ago. Montana’s Rob Quist has emerged in the special election against millionaire waste of space Greg Gianforte. The election is for the House seat vacated by Donald Trump’s secretary of the interior, Ryan Zinke.

Based on Gianforte’s average yearly investment and wage income from 2005 to 2014, his annual tax bill would go down $785,413 if the AHCA passed, according to an analysis released Friday by the Center for American Progress Action Fund and Tax March, an organization backed by labor unions and progressive groups.

And Trumpcare along side the Republican tax plan is the gift that keeps on giving to the one percent.

He and his wife made, on average, over $20 million a year in investment income and $1.6 million a year in ordinary wages over the 10-year period for which Gianforte disclosed his earnings. Assuming he continued to maintain this average going forward, he would get a $772,981 annual tax break from repeal of the net investment income tax and another $12,432 from elimination of the Medicare Hospital Insurance surtax.

Gianforte is a real piece of work. He had been able to evade the level of his support for the wildly unpopular Trumpcare for a time, until recently, when audio tape came out showing that Greg Gianforte was full of shit.

“Greg needs to know all the facts, because it’s important to know exactly what’s in the bill before he votes on it,” said a spokesman for Mr. Gianforte, who is running in a special election for the seat vacated by Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke. But on the same day, during a private conference call with Republican-leaning lobbyists in Washington, Mr. Gianforte offered a more supportive view of the health bill. Making the case for the “national significance” of the Montana election on May 25, Mr. Gianforte said: “The votes in the House are going to determine whether we get tax reform done, sounds like we just passed a health care thing, which I’m thankful for, sounds like we’re starting to repeal and replace.”

Some Republicans might think that Hillary Clinton had a Muslim pizza-delivery man kill a DNC staffer to cover up Anthony Weiner’s secret email plan to take all of their guns away, and many Republicans may not even realize that the Affordable Care Act and Obamacare are the same thing—but they want their Medicaid and they want their health care. So watching a billionaire sign on to getting an $800,000 tax cut, while offering nothing in return, may be one bridge too far for enough voters to both get motivated to go out and vote, and for others to NOT vote for the real evil.
