Big beautiful bill

    I am a republican and a conservative and voted for Donald Trump 3 times.  I lately have watched in horror as my republican congress people debate the latest tax / budget bill.  While I am all for pushing the undeserving able bodied people off Medicaid, enforcing the border and removing illegal immigrants and rebuilding our military using independent auditors, I am not pleased with the republicans plan entirely.  I live in New Jersey if not the highest one of the highest property taxed states in the US and was glad when the first Trump administration set the Salt deduction at 10,000.00.  Now I see as part of the tax plan they have raised that to 30,000.00 and congress people like Lawler from NY don’t think that’s high enough.  This is in fact an outright gimme to the wealthy in America, and is proof  that several Republican congress people are willing to sacrifice what’s good for the country to what’s good for the wealthy.  In New Jersey if you are concerned about paying even anything over 20k in property tax’s you are not middle class and the only reason for our taxes being so high in NJ is the corrupt politicians and their corrupt public union labor contracts let alone their wasteful spending.  As President Trump rightly pointed out last term no reason for all Americans to pay for this.
Saving Social Security should start with congress passing a law that states those with a net worth of 5 million or above can’t receive Social Security while eliminating  any estate estate tax’s from their immediate  families providing they haven’t moved large sums out of their names for the past twenty years. No trusts etc.  Congress should immediately  pass a law that not only forbids  any further raising  of the budget cap but makes it reduce the cap by 5% every year until the is no deficit eliminating  the 5% rule unless we begin a deficit  again.  Congress should further make law that any politicians who misappropriated  the peoples the people’s money  should face a mandatory  minimum 5 yrs. In prison with assets seized to repay the people’s money.  Further any congress person or senator that owes back taxes should be allowed 30 days to pay the people’s money or face immediate asset seizure.

    I worked in the oil and gas fields in both Prudhoe Bay Ak. delivering goods from Fairbanks 2 seasons as well as fueling drill rigs from my tanker trailer in the Bakken fields of North Dakota for 4 yrs.  And my feeling about gas and oil production in America is this.  The industry directly creates some very good high paying jobs while the ripple effect from it creates many  good high paying jobs think new tanker trains trucks and so on.  Directional drilling and fracking are truly amazing technologies and allow America to be truly energy independent and while drilling today is much cleaner then the past, fracking is a dirty business.   So America should use this and other sources to be completely energy independent we the people shouldn’t allow oil and gas production for export in other words profit for the industry even if we have to federally put a price floor under oil per barrel.  Our earth and our children will be much better for it.
