    Has the current US administration done anything but cut taxes for the super rich?

    As we approach the 2 year mark of this administration have they really done anything but that? Seems the only thing I remember them passing was giving a 3rd beach house to people that really don't need one.

    There have been a ton of executive orders and other little things that are going to be easily reversible by another administration.(except gaining the respect of our allies back)but really they have not done anything that I can think of aside from talk and give tax cuts to the rich.

    What happened to Health Care and Infrastructure and the like?

    Nothings going to get done with the election so close...with the comming change over to the house and maybe senate in the US we call this next 2 years the lame duck. usually nothing gets done because they are so focused on getting money for the next election and running adds etc.

    In the end it looks like for all the populist talk the only thing they got done was giving rich people and corps another handout. Something no one but the greedy or uneducated asked for.

    Well, BfA is on the horizon so I guess people are out of their minds with all the waiting.

    I don't think Sylvanus has done anything to cut taxes, but the goblins definitely need to be taxed more.

    And don't get me started on Gallywix....

    Not really.. unless you keep a count of how many times you hear "Fake News" , "Witch Hunt" , and "Obama/Clinton" and take a drink for each. Sadly you are long dead if that is the case. Mostly because aside from cutting taxes from the rich that's really all they ever talk about or say.

    Post-Move Edit: Might be worth pointing out this was posted when the thread was in WoW/General ;3
    The Undercity Sewer politicians knows that you can't tax the richest undead to death. And really what's the use of focusing on Health care for the undead (you hear how silly that sounds?) when there's plagues and siege weapons to invest in? If you want to make Undercity great again you can't endlessly throw money on the common ghouls.

    Nothing lasts forever, as they say.
    But at least I can casually play Classic and remember when MMORPGs were good.

    Well that's because the Westfall peasants tried to form a commune and break away from Stormwind. So now they're being punished.

    Back when Org was great the top tax bracket was 90%. Endlessly throwing money at the goblins that are just going to bury it in the ground does not get you new Graveyards, Flight Paths or Auction Houses.

    Is all retalation from the wrongs doing of the defias and the stormwind goverment inaction, how is our current leader dealing with this shit? his messages carried by short wyrms and doves are nothing but smoke screens from the westfall situation

    Your post comes too late, the election of the tirisifal congress was already past due since silvanus was chosen as warchief, and what beach are you talking about? the one that was constructed in tanaris post deathwing destruction? there was nothing the goverment could do, it was a force of nature, beside the goblins will capitalize in some form on this, gold will flow, is it ther way.

    And are in the process of starting trade wars, legitimized hate groups, tried to demonize law enforcement, and created record high rising inflation rates.
    May 30th, 2019 - Trump admits Russia helped him get elected.

    An elected Republican called for biblical law to be implemented and for all non-christians to be murdered. But it's sharia law we should be scared about right?

    Republicans ran an actual Nazi for office in 2018 and he got nearly 1/3rd of the votes.
