How?….here’s how:
as soon as JB gets his tribute, retirees will be next in the crosshairs for taxation, AND all the middle class will be teed up for another tax increase as soon as he can do this on a simple majority vote. Why can’t some “reporter” ask him how a $1.4 Billion tax increase will compensate for a 6 or 7 Billion (unconstitutional) deficit.

THAT’S HOW!
