All I can say is that Trump must know his days are numbered. Why else would he slap the middle class in the face with his unilateral proposal to gift the wealthy with this tax cut?
How about it Righties? Deficits don't matter as long as the 1% get theirs, Right?
I don't blame you for not admitting you were played for fools by Trump. His going behind your back to benefit his rich friends while you were bleating about a stupid wall must be very galling.
he needs to get crazy with cuts in spending or he is just taxing the crap out of the future like his predecessors.
Problem is their plan is to cut spending on things like medicare, and social security. When people see whats going on they're going to go nuts. The GOP's plans are literally to cut taxes on the wealthiest, and use that to justify cutting benefits to everyone else. And when they touch the programs that can make up the difference people are going to turn on them. Because food stamps and welfare is not enough to make up the difference.
It makes total sense as well. Say you bought $100k of a stock in 2010. Let's say you only kept up with inflation so ~2% or less in growth. Why should you have to pay taxes when you had no real gains?

We shouldn't be discouraging investment.
from what I've seen - 85 of the benefit will go to the 1%. so again, the middle class will get some crumbs, but more debt passed to our children to benefit the uberwealthy while his lemmings rejoice over the crumbs....

It's proportional to your investments. I'm not jealous that people have much larger portfolios. I will still benefit and have more money. I don't see it as "crumbs". Inflation hasn't been much so it won't be a significant gain, but I will benefit. Stupid people who don't invest will be left (pun intended) in the dust once again, and I'm fine with that. Maybe they can go begging for "depreciation relief" on their flat screens, phones, and cars.
I'm way ok with this. This will save me a ton of money long run.
