Plus how the country was heading to bankruptcy because of the deficit and how it needs to be eliminated.

Or is it that is suddenly not so important?

Then again, maybe I'll just keep mine. After all, it would be rude not to accept a gift that someone is insisting that you have.

To reduce the government deficit is to reduce the government SPENDING! Republicans want a small government, remember?

Sure, but then I don't have to pay for any wars or war related spending.


We can keep adding to this all day.

Maybe we should just go to a tax plan where everyone picks what they are willing to pay for.

I'm in the same boat. My company has been making a fortune for years and passing none of it along to anyone making under seven figures.

I would reject a tax cut fir myself if all the relief went to those poorer than me. Relief for the rich and corporations? Screw them.

That's what Q.E. did the last eight years also. Very few were saying "screw them" then.

You are welcome to donate to the poor. How much will you donate?

Please don’t tell me your bleeding heart can only donate $0.

I intend to keep this thread live until the tax season so that democrat supporters can post an image of their check.

Personally I would expect massive amounts of democrats and their supporters send in mountains of checks to prove Trump and Republicans wrong.
I'd rather have you send me a check to cover the tax hike.

Please attach the image of the check here before you put it in the mail.
