Ill take it!
Gas prices are headed to $4 again and Trump is proposing a 25 cents per gallon gas tax on top of that. The weak dollar strategy will push up interest rates and costs on everything you buy. Good bye to your $115.

At mw or around that, what was your previous Federal Income tax per check? Perhaps $35 every 2 weeks?

Yep, gas prices have skyrocketed here, and are not dropping. Some people do not realize there is no free lunch, if you cut taxes, that money has to be replaced somehow. This "tax cut" was a thinly veiled plan by the GOP to win the support of gullible people who can be bought out for a few trinkets. They knew they were losing popularity because of the guy at the helm, and they needed to do something to look like they were actually working for the little guys.

Enjoy it now, the other shoe will drop any day soon.

Obama would be happy that you are finally paying your Fair Share.

So, you are celebrating tax cuts, AND tax hikes.

The mind of a Trump loyalist is a mysterious place.

No, I'm 100% a tax cut kind of Guy. I'm just recalling all those years of Obama telling us we should pay more. Seems like any good Democrat would be glad to pay more toward supporting the welfare crowd.

In Dems distorted mind, what your earn is not your money, after all.

Dems hate the makers.

I am not a Democrat, so why are you throwing all this "Obama said..." at me?

A lot of small businesses are in a world of hurt because of Trump tax hikes, and you are sitting there mocking them.

The mind of a Trump loyalist is a mysterious place.

85% of Americans will see a large net reduction in Federal Income Taxes owed.

That means for every Finn, there are 6 Rakins.
