Potential conflict with Iran, repeal of net neutrality, and tax cuts for the rich.

Everybody agrees: corporations & people at the top should be paying more now that times are good for them ("Stock market up" tweets Trump all the time). However, republicans want the very wealthy & corporations to pay less which will be a huge problem if we have another recession soon. If the economy deteriorates, republicans will obviously preach austerity (cutting medicare & social security) because we'll have no money (because of their own tax cuts for the rich). 

Far from even pretending to help the working-class, this administration is not afraid to be seen as helping the very wealthy and corporations. 

It's even absurd now to think Trump told us he was going to be a different type of republican: a populist, supposedly. 
Yet this are the news from Trump's America, just from today: 

1) Potential war with Iran (to help defense contractors):

"Yemen is the riskiest flashpoint between the U.S. and Iran at a time when tensions between the two powers are at a “critical level,” the International Crisis Group conflict-resolution center said.

Overlapping Middle East conflicts increase the potential for intentional or inadvertent clashes, the group said in a report released Thursday. An escalation in Yemen, such as a successful strike by Iranian-backed Houthi rebels on a Saudi or Emirati city, could prompt Saudi Arabia, the U.A.E or even the U.S. to retaliate against Iran, the group said.

Reasons the fighting in Yemen threatens to escalate and draw in the U.S., according to International Crisis Group..."

2) FCC about to create an "internet for the elite" (to help corporations):

"(CNN) On December 14, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is set to vote to roll back the rules that uphold net neutrality -- the principle that internet service providers (ISPs) must allow equal access to web content, regardless of the source.

While some on the FCC argue that the decision will boost economic growth, the only thing we know for certain is that eliminating net neutrality will make internet service look a lot more like cable TV. That's good for a handful of corporations, but bad for just about everyone else..."

 3) & of course, massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations (without any votes from democrats):

"While the late changes to the tax bill were mean to alleviate concerns of skeptical Republicans, it was not clear how they would be paid for while still complying with the strict Senate budget rules that will allow the bill to pass without votes from any Democrats. Republicans can add no more than $1.5 trillion to the deficit if they are to pass the bill along party lines.

Potential so-called pay-fors that were the subject of speculation included allowing the tax cuts for individuals to expire earlier or raising the tax rate on profits that companies have parked overseas and will now be required to pay taxes on.

“We’re literally trying to squeeze about $2 trillion in tax reform into a $1.5 trillion box and that’s been a problem,” Senator Ron Johnson, a Wisconsin Republican, who held out on supporting the initial version of the Senate tax bill until it gave more generous tax breaks to “pass through” businesses..."
