IF they were so angry about it, then why the HELL did it get passed???? While not a far of either party but why pass it if the left was so opposed to it?? All this does is show everyone that there is NO difference between the two parties!

Educate yourself. Better yet, read Orwell's 1984.
Delusional is all those who praise the ACA but condemn this bill. Both parties have been screwing the middle-class for a very long time. The biggest screwing in decades was the ACA. Were you outraged?
Yes I believe the rich can and should pay more. I also blame both parties for writing tax codes that spare the rich. I blame both parties for their pork spending and for a very wasteful defense budget of nearly 700 billion.

Funny, the REASON you have high property taxes is because of DEMOCRATS but, go ahead and try to blame conservatives.

Instead of whining about conservatives why DON'T YOU do something about your high property taxes?

YOUR LOCAL TAXES is NOT the responsibility of the FEDERAL government. Sorry!

The rest of the people in the country should NOT have to make up the difference in your LOCAL taxes.
My property taxes are about 1.25%, genius. They are not that high. My HOUSING COSTS are high, so the dollar amount of the tax is substantial.

And I'm pretty sure I pay way more in Fed tax than you do.

The problem is that almost all (but not quite) of Republicans in Congress are traitors to the American people, so they're backing their mirror image. The most corrupt Congress in American history, no doubt about it.

I especially sympathize with squeezed Trump voters who believed Trump's rhetoric that he was going to take care of them. He sure took care of them alright. We New Yorkers tried to warn the rest of the country that Trump has no conscience and would say anything to get what he wants. Now, it's obvious that the guy that said that this bill was going to hurt himself and his rich friends was lying through his teeth. His family will benefit by a billion dollars and his rich friends are high-fiving him. I am sure they are thinking that voters are just so stupid, to fall for another GOP grifter play.

Trump hasn't drained the swamp. He created the black lagoon, with him as the creature from the black lagoon.
Personally, I try to remain optimistic or positive when it comes to the American people. As Senator Sanders said, "the American people are catching on." Hoping we all are.

After all, we all are 99% of US.

The downside is we don't elect the lobbyist lawyer lapdog legislators who represent the 1%.

Imagine how disastrous the economy would be if Hillary was President, she'd be content with the current tax rates plus she'd have kept Obama's regulations, handcuffing the business world.
And the stock market would not have grown by 6000 since last November....

You are just pulling crap out of the air because you don't know what the bill does.

The bill doesn't give manufacturers a tax break. It lowers taxes on payments of private aircraft owners to management companies that help maintain, store and staff those planes for owners. Do you really think that without this tax break the elite would give up their private jets and fly commercial -- sitting next to that crying kid?

Gee, I didn't know that private jet owner were so poor that they needed a tax break.

Whatever happened to "the government shouldn't be picking winners and losers?" I know, it doesn't apply to the rich.

You obviously have no clue what the definition of traitor is...just more lock step blather from the left...


Who is a child molester? You better get to gloria and give your absolute 100% evidence...
