I think statistics show 98% of Americans got a tax cut. Federal tax revenues are at record levels. My wife and I got a relatively yuge tax cut and we are decidedly not billionaires. Most of the clients I work with are not billionaires, and I’ve not had a single one complain about all the money they’ve saved under Trump.
Good post.
WRT your last two paragraphs, agree women didn't/don't like Trump the bully part, but now they've had a chance to see why he does it given how Dims & the MSM screw him over; i.e., fighting back is a near-necessity. That's something other Pubs never learned or in many cases, enjoy being part of the In Club over doing the job for their people. Of course all his successes for the country help them see the necessity.
Lots of Parliament style governments in Europe don't have direct election of individuals but instead you just vote for a party. Each party has a list of candidates & you down the list of names till you reach the percent of candidates represented by the party's vote percent & that's who is elected. The parties get to select the order of names on their list. Net, you have no one who represents you. Sh!tty imo.
You blame increased deficits on an increase in tax revenue? I don’t think that math works even under common core.
Woman who I respect told me months ago she won't vote for Trump again because she can't stand him, policies & results be damned.
You saw police in Portland trying to stop Antifa? Never knew that happened.
Tax revenue is the highest it's ever been basically every year a major recession doesn't happen. It was the highest it'd ever been in the Obama years. You're trying to lecture someone on basic math with an argument that 2019 dollars are the same as 1970?
First it was Don Lemon.
This is a really big deal to CNN.
I agree wholeheartedly, but they aren’t interested in legality. They want to sway public opinion, enforcing people to do what the President didn’t is their hope to turn the public.
Funny how you Libs only got concerned about the deficit in 2016!!!!!!
Taxes were cut, yet tax revenue went up. Why do you think that is?
Bevin's pardon of the child rapist is unforgivable. F--k him.
Tax revenues or the deficit was the highest it’s ever been during the Obama years?
There is already a movie showing the true mohummed. It's the reason people died in Benghazi.
He usually holds it back a little on Hannity but last night he was in full on Levin attack mode. Love that dude.
No hard feelings dude. As a red blooded man, I understand.
She will be the dem candidate. No logical reason to think otherwise.
I've got that kind of power. She won't let me use it though.
Blithering idiot. The deficit is where it is because that last PIECE OF SHIT doubled it.
<insert CBO quotes from 2014 regarding entitlements for the 100th time>
<insert Dems control House and budget formation for 50th time>
<insert Dems control House and budget formation for 50th time>
Obama did not double the deficit. Calling me an idiot while confusing deficit with debt. Priceless.
If America had North Korea’s voting system, Trump and his sons and grandsons would be presidents for life.
how much of my money do you liberal crooks need before your happy?
So is the stock market. And revenues. Oh and unemployment is at record lows.
Tax revenue. The goal is a balanced budget right? Generally when tax revenues go up, the deficit goes down. Trump cut taxes, pumping money into the private sector with the idea that the lower rates on increased activity would overall generate more than the higher rates on less activity would have. This has not turned out to be the case. The increased activity is not enough to make up for the lower rates, so while tax revenues are technically higher than they were last year, they aren't as high as they would have been without the cut. So the deficit continues to increase because the revenue doesn't keep pace with spending like it would have with the pre-cut rates.
You're right, spending and not paying for it spurs the economy. Traditionally government gets in trouble with conservatives for that.
You know why this bothers them, it’s because Republicans are the ones they want to be upset. Republicans are making memes, telling jokes and generally making fun of the democrats and their fake impeachment. It eats them alive that they can’t make you regret voting for Trump, that you’re not taking democrat bs lies as reality.
You are supposed to be shamed, embarrassed, angry and ready to concede. But it’s backfired on them and they are lashing out in frustration that they can’t put you in the position they put themselves in.
Democrats taught us the deficit doesn't mean squat. Remember Obama? When it gets too high we will print more money. Deficit solved. We are not on the Gold Standard anymore. If Obama can give billions to Iran we can handle this little deficit. Let's keep our eye on the ball. The ball is a corrupt Federal Government aka as the Swamp.that needs to be brought to it's knees and destroyed.
You have no idea what would have happened without tax cuts.
Bottom line, we’re $20 trillion in debt. The federal government is pissing away money on shit like bribing Ukrainian prosecutors to not prosecute a politicians corrupt adult burnout son, any amount of other bullshit you can think of, etc.
Until you loony toons get serious about spending, I don’t want to hear a goddam word about the evils of me taking home more of the money I earn.
If you're that worried about the deficit don't you think that not giving money to Ukraine might be a start?
We could quibble forever over what fat to trim. That would be a welcome conversation, healthy for American democracy. But the truth is neither side is interested in having it right now. Tax and Spend vs Cut and Spend. Those are our current choices.
Dion, you are more than welcome to pay whatever amount in taxes you feel are sufficient.
If you want to pay higher taxes so you have less money for your activities, have at it. Meanwhile I want to keep as much of my hard earned money as possible and enjoy the activities I choose to do with my money.

You know, when Rene Boucher attacked Rand Paul in his yard, I thought "What a complete, unglued idiot." But now, I'm not so sure. Because, if Adam Schiff were my neighbor, and he was totally exposed in his yard, I just might feel the urge ...
