The Trump family are a bunch of buffoons whose sole purpose is to serve Russia in exchange for more money. Hence, this tax bill.

Most Americans LOVE "corporate America". As always, Dems are terrified that tax reform helps the economy.

This proves them wrong yet again, and would lose support next election. We know the Left's game

What has been proven? We've seen what has happened to Kansas after their tax cuts. We've seen that Reagan never made "trickle down" happen. Corporations were already making a fortune, they were not suffering in the least. This is just making them richer at the cost of the country. What really is disgusting is Democrats will likely have to clean up the Republican mess AGAIN.

Here we go again.

NO CUTS TO CURRENT MEDICARE/SS BENEFICIARIES. And, BTW, thank your buddy, Obama, for exempting welfare and Medicaid from the PAYGO.

Newsflash: Yes, it will be REPUBLICANS who save Medicare and SS, by gradually increasing FREs and eligibility ages, as Reagan did, and increasing caps.

Stop the histrionics, and educate yourselves.

It isn’t going to help the economy, at least not enough to keep from increasing the deficit.

Michael Bloomberg knows a little about finance and he absolutely evicerated the GOP Tax Scam in an editorial today.

Quote:
In effect, the tax bill achieves four main things:

(1.) It takes money away from schools and students.

(2.) It restricts our ability to invest in infrastructure.

(3.) It does nothing to boost real wages while making health insurance more expensive.

(4.) It makes it harder to control the costs of Medicare and Social Security without cutting defense and other spending -- or further exploding the deficit.

To what end? To hand corporations big tax cuts they don't need, while lowering the tax rate paid by those of us in the top bracket, and allowing the wealthy to shelter more of their estates.

If we had to elect a New York billionaire, we chose the wrong one.

Keep track of who voted for this 'feed the wealthy' bill, and vote them out of office. With this idiot in charge of our country, we need legislators who can stand up to him, not a bunch of Trump sycophants.

Which means nothing whatsoever to those of us under the age of ~65

Republicans screwed us all in the 1980's, and they're about to screw us all again.

U.S. Household wealth is over $90 trillion. Congress is in the process of passing a $1.5 trillion tax cut, don't act like we're somehow lacking the funds to pay for SS.

You and me both.

Fingers crossed that the courts hold.

If they don't, we're toast.
