The GOP released the “talking point” highlights of the republican tax plan which, as previewed earlier this morning, will keep the 20% corporate tax cut as permanent, and which allegedly will assure that a family of 4 making $59,000 will get a $1,182 tax cut.

As discussed previously, the bill keeps a top rate of 39.6% for the highest-earners and doubles the standard deduction for middle class families. It expands the child tax credit to $1,600 from $1,000 and will not make any changes to the 401(k) plans. The bill also “makes no changes to the popular retirement savings options that Americans have today — including 401(k)’s and Individual Retirement Accounts, or I.R.A.s. Americans will be able to continuing making both traditional, pretax contributions and ‘Roth’ contributions in the way that works best for them.”

WEB Notes: “A never before seen document!” I bet that piece of paper even documents that Iran was going to unleash a barrel of monkeys on the US armed with suitcase nukes…

We just documented how the US has created and armed these terrorist groups, but some magic paper now says Iran and al-Qaeda a direct creation of the CIA actually worked together to plot the demise of the US. This sounds just like those JFK files that document the CIA was going to stage bombings in the US and blame it on Cuba to invade.

TOO MANY VEGAS WITNESSES DYING

The latest was a remote control car crash

This has gotten a lot of interest. There is very little info about what model of car it was, but one reference said it was a 2010 Mercedes, which would confirm remote control, and an incredibly high speed possible (All U.S. released Mercedes sedans will hit 135 mph with some limited at 155 mph) which would explain how the daughter heard the crash from inside the house at 10:40 PM when the crash happened a half mile away. the car had to have been going absolute max, which for a Mercedes can be quite high. There is no way any driver would go that fast so close to home when it would take longer than a half mile to slow down from such speeds.   Continue reading “Another 9/11 On The Way – Las Vegas Was The “Straw That Broke The Camel’s Back” – 3 Steps To Prevent Car Hijack – Marshal The Forces”
