What's dangerous about it? Are the fanatical leftists going to do something they haven't already done?

Nope. They've tried everything already, and none of it has made the slightest difference. They have nothing left.

Unless you're saying their next step is an American Kristallnacht.

There is precedent, after all.

Time for them to dig up their good buddies at Antifa and get them going again?

The liberals have been doing this a lot recently.

Awww....
No rant. I gave you a business scenario that you failed to rectify. You lose.

Democrat supporters are so afraid that the rich might get a tax cut "even though they pay the most taxes" their willing to take a hit to get them. Yep, class warfare has always been another card the Democrats play.

So you think people with the most money should not pay the most. Interesting economic theory. Would get you and F in any decent college.

The tax code is used as an incentive. Democrats want big government and they use class warfare to play on people's ignorance and jealousy to keep money flowing to government and they don't care who's money it is.

The fact is, the rich buy hire experts to guide them in tax efficiency and the tax law incentivizes them to do what the government wants. As a result they reduce their taxable income and with each change in the tax law they will make changes accordingly. Period.

Natalie, stop being a tool.

I can

Either you didn't grow up in the United States, or you are forgetting things you learned before the 12th grade....probably as far back as elementary school.

1. The chance of anyone other than a Republican being POTUS in 2019 is virtually nil. Trump would have to be impeached, and then be convicted in the Senate trial and removed from office (or resign before either happened), and all of the Republicans before the first Independent or Democrat or other in the Presidential succession order would have to be eliminated...before the first Independent or Democrat or other could be POTUS.

2. Given #1, the likely Republican sitting in the Oval Office would almost certainly veto any proposed tax bill that would attempt to counter what will be signed into law this week.

3. After #2, a simple majority in the House wouldn't be enough to override that veto. Overriding a Presidential veto requires a 2/3 vote (not just a simple majority) in the House AND (not or) a 2/3 vote in the Senate. I agree with you that the Democrats may take the House in the 2018 Midterm, but I doubt it will flip enough to give Democrats a 2/3 majority. Even if the House did flip...and flip to a 2/3 Democrat majority....the Senate would also have to flip, and also flip to a 2/3 Democrat majority. The current Congress is the 115th Congress. The only time in U.S. history when one party controlled both chambers of Congress with a 2/3 majority in each AND had a POTUS from a different party was most of the 39th Congress (all of the 39th Congress after Lincoln's assassination), and all of the 40th Congress....so during the Andrew Johnson administration....which ended almost 150 years ago.

The Obama administration used perpetual QE and borrowed 10 trillion in debt, more than previous presidents combined but you defend that right? Worse! Now that the economy is going again, the Feds will raise interest rates and the tax payer will pay higher interest on that 10 trillion that Obama borrowed. And you want to b*tch at republicans?
