We could have just cut taxes for the middle class.

How other developed countries tax and spend

I was thinking only about the income tax. You're right on the other part.

I don't know, I'm not a Democrat. Nor do I think the party leadership wants such a system.

The left is lying their butt off on everything from taxes to the economy etc.............

But the working uneducated poor are the people who put Trump's oversized backside in the oval office. They really are Trumps chumps!

DON'T TRY TO HIJACK THE THREAD!!!!!




This has nothing to do with the ten trillion O pissed away!!!


That's old news, irrelevant and deflection from the only deficits that matter!!!!




This tread is about deficits that may or may not increase under the new tax law.


Of course, we have no way of knowing today what deficits will be like several years down the road because economic growth brought about by the tax cuts will likely offset some or all of the revenue not taken out of working American's paychecks.


But none of that matters because Trump is president instead of Obama.




Now that that issue has been addressed, Merry Christmas to all of us that work for a living and will be enjoying more of what we earn.
