"We are told that America is exceptional because we are richer, stronger, more powerful than everyone else. The truth, my friends, is that America is exceptional because here nothing is fixed into place." - Zohran Mamdani

Exactly one year ago President Trump and the Republicans passed the biggest tax cut for the middle class in history. It was called the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) and millions of Americans have seen a very significant cut in their taxes this year because of it.

It included such things as eliminating tax on all tips, elimination of tax on overtime, a permanent extension of individual tax cuts originally introduced by the 2017 middle class Tax Cuts and Jobs Act passed in President Trump's first term, child tax credits to help middle class families with children, a $6,000 deduction for middle class taxpayers over the age of 65 to help middle class seniors.

Yet EVERY SINGLE DEMOCRAT voted AGAINST it, so it just barely passed with only President Trump and the Republicans pushing it over the finish line.

WHY? WHY WOULD THE DEMOCRATS DO THAT?

If not to force you to turn over even more of YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY to the government and let someone else decide how it gets spent and not YOU, the person who earned it, then WHY?

On this the 250th birthday of the nation that invented freedom, I ask whether what the Democrats are doing is what FREEDOM is about? They have never seen a tax, to take even more of your money, that they didn't love. Is this what you really want?

So the question is: Who knows how to spend your own money better? YOU or THE GOVERNMENT?

The pre-Columbian Native American tribes, the early Ulster Scots settlers, people of German descent, Italians, Poles...

On the other hand, there are Americans of African descent. Most of their ancestors probably came from West Africa, and many likely spoke Yoruba or other West African languages.
