The GOP has been purchased by the 1% and they're doing as they're told.

How does that translate into the OP claiming that will improve his life?? Seriously, where do you get that from? Do you know for a fact that the OP is even middle class. What if he is not? Even if he was, still doesn't translate into what you claim it does.

The OP is claiming you are suffering, because of tax cuts for the rich.. Do you really need someone to spell it out for you that if you arent suffering any longer, then your life is improving?

This madness has to stop. Trickle down economics never has worked. It was started by Reagan and has drawn a larger division between the wealthy and the middle class. Unfortunately, Democrats allowed it to continue through their administrations in the past. Democrats are making a point to change this. If allowed to continue, the rich will keep getting richer and the middle class will dwindle away.

It's ludicrous when you look at our 900 military bases all around the world & the eternal wars in the ME.

To those of you slavish rich supporters, eat it! Look at the poll. Most of us want to tax the rich. Period. Raise the damn taxes on them already. Cry me a river rich bastard. You pay 50 percent on the highest income bracket.. Don't like it? Move to China. See if they will give you a better rate.

Trickle down or supply side economics weren't invented by Reagan or Laffer.

It is the way of the world. It's how business has been done since the founding of America.

As businesses grow, they hire.

Allow businesses to keep more of their own profit to build their business, invest in employees and yes, enrich themselves, instead of jumping through the hoops of big government bureaucracy, our economy will improve.

Government interference in private business is where the problem lies.
