Beware the ides of December.
Julius Caesar was stabbed to death on On March 15, 44 B.C. by members of the Roman Senate who feared losing power.
Today, Republican politicians have complete control of the government, and the American middle class stands to suffer the same fate at their hands. Instead of knives, they will use the so-called tax reform bill currently working its way through a House/Senate conference committee and expected to be signed into law by Christmas.
Two comics by Joel Pett, editorial cartoonist for the Lexington Herald-Leader, capture perfectly the backstabbing essence of this bill.
