Yes, sad that some refuse or won't see this. Denial is deadly to the middle class.

If you're jealous of people more successful than you, you should have worked harder in life to achieve more success. It's that simple.

IF, IF IF IF IF ..

see the issue here Lovetorow, is that people here discussing this tax scam, they are not jealous. And if you actually read the posts instead of attacking all the time you would see lots of libs saying that they will benefit from this plan.
This is a tax scam not a plan, it drops my effective rate into the teens! while increasing costs on the bottom 50%, Trumpcare will rocket up, medicare, medicaid, SS will all be cut to fund this tax scam for the rich.

LOL, I am laughing at Dems Armageddon rhetoric. And remember when Dems claimed the stock market would crash if Trump was elected. Some people, who allowed themselves to make decisions based on this rhetoric sold stock, fools. Oh and lets not forget when they were dancing in the streets because the bad reporting, again only to be disappointed.

So essentially your missing my point. All this rhetoric is to play on people's emotions and we know that bad decisions are made when emotional. When will people learn?

They have so much MONEY now and will get MORE and MORE.

Corporations have so much now for expansions, more for employees but the TOP will get more.

Trickle economics again...does not work.


So, you want to take it from them.
It sounds like envy, more than virtue checking.

The only way to get your effective rate in the teens is either low income or charity/capital gains/dividends... since the tax reform didn’t address those issues, I find it ironic that you wish tax rates to be higher since you obviously don’t pay income tax rates... let me guess, you find it necessary to have low capital gain/dividend tax rate... how nice of you... care too much, huh!
