I'm an Ojibwe native, and most of us live on these things called reservations, which is the same thing as the ghettos that Nazis put jews into, and the vast majority of our reservations are poor and with corrupt government. I was fortunate enough to be born in a decent suburb, but I was still poor. We lived in low-income housing that had mold issues in it. There's hardly any regulation or enforcement that says low-income housing has to be up to any standard, and that's just one example of what's wrong with America. It's convinced half of the population that voting can't change anything, and half of the voters that changing things will somehow result in terrorism and more scary black and brown people coming to a house near them. None of it's true, but we've been deprived for years, and it's not just people of color even though they're the most likely to be effected by it. White people who are poor are usually most likely to be targeted and manipulated by the republican party to keep class and race tensions high so that they can continue to give corporate handouts to donors like the Koch Brothers, McDonalds, Walmart, etc... and what's sad is that instead of working to change that, the democrats would rather play it safe with a weak candidate like Hillary Clinton who's more than willing to meet the fascists in the middle.
They're gonna use every lie at their disposal to not spend money on poor folks, because we're just expendable to them. That's what that bill is about, middle class and working class folks who voted for Trump won't see any of that money, and if anything those corporations will cut jobs and spend the money trying to expand their empires.
