Tax rates and tax bracket rate changes for individual tax returns have changed over the years to favor the wealthy and made it harder to balance the budget. Tax changes are another factor in addition to lower union membership and outsourcing to China that has decimated the middle class and pulled the wealth upward toward the upper 10%.

Global warming will continue to cause deadly strong hurricanes which will cause continuous dislocations for US people. And crops will fail in South America and drive CLIMATE immigrants illegally northward to further burden the US adding more pollution heating to the planet. Mother Earth is rapidly reaching a tipping point of no return!
