" but other things will suffer as a result"

If you are going to make such a claim at least have decency to explain how and why.

The IRS will allow you to pay more than your actual liability. How much will you be donating above your liability? If all the liberals tell them, and ACTUALLY pay more than the lower tax liabilities they have under POTUS Trump, liberals would actually be "walking their walk", instead of just "talking the talk".

Instructions in last paragraph. They will be expecting you.

Hear the stories of people who are getting bigger paychecks with the tax cuts.
Not me. I had an S-Corp, and the tax penalty was so large I decided to drop the business, and become a W2 again.

How much are we giving to Planned Parenthood again? Please remind me. The Democrats insisted on this. Planned Parenthood doesn't need the money.

That is just ONE cut that should have been made. That is the "somewhere." There are other places too.

Secondly, cuts are not the only thing. You and your friends regularly neglect (intentionally) to mention that increased economic activity always results in increased revenue. The Reagan tax cuts doubled revenue.

GOP.com?

So, it's basically standard Republican party propaganda?

Tell me Janelle, if I take your credit card, buy you a very nice meal, and then use your credit card to buy your boss a new car, would that make you happy? Because the Republicans did just that to you with their tax cut.

I think the republicans were out of ideas, proposing tax cuts in a healthy economy and companies with record profits is wrong headed.
Right out of the Democrat "talking points."

In the first place, we didn't have a "healthy economy." 50% of the "labor force" was not employed (but that didn't show in the "unemployment" figures, since they had been dropped off).

Home ownership was a the lowest point since WWII. Companies were leaving the U.S. and moving offshore because of our high corporate tax rate, which was uncompetitive. The Obama administration never saw GDP of 3%. Lowest growth rate in decades.

After Donald Trump was elected, Markets took off. His critics claim that was to Obama's credit. Really? Then why did it happen only right after the election? Why not before? It is a lie, and they know it, but so great is their hatred for Donald Trump, they cannot find it within them to credit him with anything positive, which is why they impugn the tax cuts.
