Now that Mr President Trump has achieved his tax reform to be aproved by the Representatives and that the Déficit is expected to grow, and that many programs of research, scholarships, Health and enviroment are going to be dry out, ¿Do you expect that the Trickle down economics will finally allow US citizens to achieve the Middle Class Standards of the 1960's?


Personally I think that this Tax Reform is going to be Robin Hood in reverse.

Make up your minds confused Leftists. Is letting a company keep more of their own money theft of the tax payer or is making sure some are paying their share theft of the tax payer? You can't have both. For years it's always been the Left's mantra that if the rich or a company is allowed to keep more of their own money it's stealing from the tax payer and everyone needs to pay their fair share. Now that some are going to pay more because of their choices (their fair share) it's all of a sudden theft of the tax payer. You guys are a confused bunch.

Considering taxes on the rich arent being lowered, and they are removing deductions they often use, I'm not really sure how any rational individual thinking for themselves, could come to this conclusion

Not really a reverse-Robin Hood situation. Robin Hood stole tax money back from the government, so the reverse would be Trump taxing people more, not less.

Corporate and personal taxes for the top brackets were well above present levels in the past, company profits and individual wealth for those at the top are doing fine. So why the sudden concern for the top few percent, they are doing fine.

They think that by making some upper middle class pay more with the mortgage interest and local tax write offs going away it's bypassing the Feds and going straight to the upper class. They call it theft when both, some pay more and some pay less. It's complete circular logic.

OMG, THIS again? It was higher rates with MORE deductions so it leveled out.
