Republicans also plan to cut Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security programs to further pay for the tax cuts for the richest 1% of Americans.

Donald Trump gave me a trivial 1% increase in income tax cut. And for this tax cut I get reduced government services, lower Social Security payments, and less healthcare insurance coverage.

Please explain how the Trump tax cuts will benefit me.

The vast majority of benefits go to the rich! In fact, those earning under $10,000/yr actually see an INCREASE in taxes. A dollar to a poor person is worth more than a dollar to a rich person, or even a middle class person.

Those earning between $112,500-190,150 also don't benefit. Granted, some do while others don't. The worst parts are lower taxes for the very rich and an increase on the very poor. That kind of system gives the most benefit to people in the least need of it, and denies the most relief for people most in need of it. Not to mention that that kind of practice creates long-run power imbalances in society, ones which people will abuse for their own benefit and to hell with the harm it does to others in a weaker position.


BTW, the "whiny" bit. Whining is usually a sign of a person in distress (granted there are good actors out there, but you just have to learn to spot them). If a person's in distress, it's frankly heartless to scorn them because they are in pain.

Geesh, I got a vacation for calling someone a troll.

Now I just say things like 'don't be intentionally inflammatory' and its OK.

So generous creating more debt to give the rich huge tax cuts and crumbs for rest of us.

Not necessary, they will all volunteer to pay the amount before the deduction

You cannot claim to be simply an objective observer. If you're not for these children, you're obviously a member of the nefarious Daleks. Take pride.
