Thanks, Ed. It's crucial to communicate the impact of tax cuts on public services and the everyday lives of Iowans, especially regarding education, environment, human services and healthcare. Without a clear understanding of these issues and of the benefits and role of government funding, anti-tax sentiments can prevail. We need to emphasize the value of government funding and the consequences of funding cuts to resist the allure of ending the income tax.

For a century the Republican Party has done nothing for the American People except to provide traitors like Trump.
