Yes, I am mad that we are putting this burden off on future generations. I do not understand why you are not. What ever became of personal responsibility?
I have plenty of personal responsibility, excellent credit; excellent career; excellent bank accounts even though I live in a generally low tax state I probably pay more tax than you. Get out the negative pessimistic mindset that liberals seem to live in and do better for yourself and yours, the opportunity is out there.
Opposition media isn't telling the truth about the GOP tax plan so the dummies who watch those channels are clueless. This video shows a man telling NYC libs about a tax plan he pretends is Bernie's. They love it! Oops! Then he tells them it is really the Republican plan. They are predictably surprised but think it's great. Dems will be worried now. Another nail in the coffin of opposition media. Spread this link around to educate the zombies. They need to wake up and find out they are being played for suckers by their Loony Left masters.
You are so right.
They need to be told what to think.
Do you have any idea how much harder it is on our bodies to digest lies rather than truths? What's really amazing is how people keep themselves sick rather than trying to heal up and do well. It's all tied into victimhood and fear of the unknown.
In twelve days, I will be 14 years continuously sober and I base my whole recovery on the seeking of truth and higher states of consciousness in a real and honest way.
I can understand why there is so much depression, suicide, opiate use and pill-popping in general going on.
There's a whole huge industry built up around these sheeple.
Not surprising since most Americans opposed the tax bill.
You should have called your congressman and senators to let them know how you feel.
Other people did and it passed? That would signal most people and a majority of states liked the idea.
Actions speak much louder than words. You can continue your campaign of discrediting the POTUS all you like, OP. Those of us unfettered by cognitive dissonance will continue to judge by his actions, not his popularity.
And his re-election will continue to be dependent on his popularity.
People are still dependent on these certain polls. The same ones that had him losing the election.
Let's say for argument's sake these polls are legit; they aren't oversampling Dems or voters from the two coasts where he got creamed: the dude should get off Twitter for awhile. It can be annoying to someone who isn't a hardcore fan of is.
BTW the tax plan is slowly becoming popular, especially in PA. It was unpopular(assuming these polls are 100% legit) because the mainstream media kept shoving down everyone's throats how awful it is(despite nonpartisan groups claiming otherwise). Also the GOP didn't do a good job on selling the bill to the masses(which they plan to rectify or the upcoming Midterms).Wait till reality kicks in.
It depends on how you frame it. If tax cuts mean more debt and cuts to essential public services/infrastructure, than no thank you, I'm good.
But the economic elite don't have to worry when they don't depend on the public system, when they can afford private schools, private security, private planes, etc etc. they have no moral connection to the average American, they only judge things based on their bank accounts and social status in their immediate circles.
"If tax cuts mean more debt and cuts to essential public services/infrastructure"
Why do you live in the "if" world?
What you are so worried about has NEVER happened before, why do you suddenly think it is going to happen this time?
Keep in mind probably 90 % of the infrastructure is a LOCAL issue.
Why did YOU allow your LOCAL politicians to let maintenance of IT'S infrastructure to deteriorate so badly?
What did THEY do with the money earmark for MAINTENANCE?
