We spent several days this week on the Caribbean side of Costa Rica with friends. Photo here shows Ginette with our guide Timmothy and our friend Joy looking at a sleeping sloth.

Trump wants to cut the corporate tax rate to 15%. This would give...

-The 5 largest banks a $4.1B tax cut
-The 5 largest drug makers a $3.1B tax cut
-The 5 largest US oil companies a $2.5B tax cut
-The 5 largest grocery stores a $1.7B tax cut

Some populist, huh?
