Ask Trump who, this week, just promised a middle-class tax cut 'prior to the mid-terms'.

No word on how he's gonna make that happen since Congress isn't even in session.

Well lookie here, you did make something else up. The middle class and poor got tax cuts too. Not that you care about the truth.
Ok if you really want to go down that road, maybe you should ask yourself why Paul Ryan got embarrassed about the "middle class" tax cut?

So yes a middle class teacher got $1.50 a week extra in her paycheck. You win. My bad

And like a brain dead fiscal idiot, he probably thinks the money for the tax cut will just come out of thin air

Makes sense that republicans are trying to campaign on the immigration boogeyman instead

The economy trend started during the Obama administration, do your research!

Mentioning deficits now is the height of hypocrisy due to the national debt doubling in the eight years of the Obama Administration. Didn't hear you complaining then. That was "enlightened governance".
