I tried to find where you got that figure -- its late I gave up.

BUT -- reality--- For all the boasting about the tax cut for many Americans the take home wasn'st significant enough to justify the total cost to the budget.

If you look at Trump's proposed cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security in his budget -- it's about what the tax cuts were proposed to cost -- which suggests we were given with one hand and then taken away with another.

Reality --- politico poll shows Biden up 8 points over Trump -- the week he decides to campaign, coming off of all that bad press about his invading personal space.

The economy is great -- if Americans are feeling it -- that should not be the poll result.

I believe that Trump made too much of the tax cuts. I believe too much of the tax cut focused on corporations -- that don't pay the real tax rate anyways.

Of all the things Trump has done -- the tax cut for individuals was the best. No knocking that.

It just didn't impact folks the way he implied it would. I know the base is so proud...but it doesn't matter how strongly you feel your position improved. If most Americans aren't feeling it -- then they aren't feeling it.

.
It sounds like you did find the figure but simply don't care because Orange Man Bad.

Most people got a tax cut. Rich got a bigger cut dollars wise because they make way more money than you, hence calling them rich. Simple fact is, you likely got a tax cut, but don't like it because Trump gave it you.

So go ahead and post a link that shows that over 80% of taxpayers got a tax cut - as Fleet has claimed. I find links PREDICTING that, but I haven't seen one that actually shows that that actually happened. I find plenty of links showing that 65% of middle-class taxpayers got a cut, but I have seen any real evidence that indicate that over 80% of taxpayers overall got a tax cut. So go ahead and show us that - if you can. Or Fleet - show us yourself - if you can.

Oh my !!!

stock market is enjoying the best year in decades — but a bullish pattern suggests it’s just warming up
http://www.marketwatch.com/story/the...dist=bigcharts

A bullish chart pattern, known as an inverse head and shoulders, is cropping up in a number of assets and indexes in recent trade and suggests that the broader equity market may have more room to run beyond its current record levels, according to Asbury Research.

"Inverse head and shoulders"? Sounds good. But what do the tea leaves show?

If they are tea leaves in the democrats possession they will show holes from insects.

In the finer tea rooms of the Trump party they will be the greatest of tea leaves.

Naturally, and organic too.

The inverse head and shoulders patterns on that link look like they've already gone up to their previous highs, or close. That is, the right side of the pattern has already been mostly completed. Which means that the observation is dated. That's something you would have wanted to call a couple months ago.
