Try to identify the several herons nesting in the trees and shrubs along the Coral Gables Canal beside the valet parking lot in front of Doctors Hospital. This is just one evidence of abundant wildlife that depend on the green buffer between the parking lot and the canal.

Take away a little from each of the many, create debt for future repayment by the many, cut spending for social programs as much as possible–all to pay for the tax cuts of the very wealthy.

The approval of the GOP tax cut bill will lead to even great inequality from small towns (Coral Gables) to states (FL) to the nation. Also, the bill will help kill off the ACA (Obamacare), and kill people in the process. Graduate students will pay taxes, student loans will cost more (benefiting big banks) and workers and the middle class will pay more taxes. The billionaires will laugh all the way to the bank.
Evidence is clear that our democracy does not exist–we are a plutocracy in which the few, the super wealthy and political donors, the big corporations run Congress, the President and the Supreme Court.
This is our Big Banana Republic.
