I just LLOOOOVVVVEEEEE that my taxes pay the medical benefits for WalMart's workers. God knows the Walton family could never pay more towards the work force that made them billionaires.
Trump Tax Plan = Create Socialists!
Oh, look... Another ignorant attack on Walmart.
Let's look at the facts...
Walmart is frequently vilified, but they have a profit margin of only 1.37%. If they paid their employees more and/or gave them better benefits, they'd have to raise prices. And as another poster in another thread accurately explained, Walmart's prices are geared to the middle class and below, and that demographic simply doesn't want to pay more for services or goods retailed by Walmart.
The obvious question is WHY does the middle class and below even buy Apple or Android products when by doing so they're quite obviously just putting extra money into Apple's and Google's CEOs pockets?
What kind of doofus doesn't prepare for the unknown?
Most of us who work for a living had no idea to what extent our silver spoon moron in chief's tax 'Cuts' would affect us... so, we banked a little extra to offset the sting.
Like I said, no changes except I made more, paid more and got LESS...
That = a higher tax burden!

Walmart starting pay is $11/hr. Do you take issue with businesses that only pay workers minimum wage or do you save your outrage for Walmart?
Bringing corporate tax rates to 21% to match what other countries in the world charge, and thereby stopping capital flight, was an excellent move. And, let's not forget one thing which you lefties always seem to forget. Lowering tax rates means people and corporations get to keep more of their own money. Money they earned and own in the first place. A tax break is a move toward basic justice. It is not giving anything to anyone, it is stealing less!
So the fact that this cut blew up the Deficit for the far-flung future..and doubled it almost instantly.....doesn't figure in?
The money was borrowed. From your children and grandchildren since I can tell by your tone that you have no intention of trying to pay it back.
Justice, a strange word to use. Let's use "fiscal prudence". If the economy handed to you is booming the deficit coming down quickly, a responsible person does not go borrow more money just to give tax cuts to corporations.
I really doubt Buffet was fibbing when he said he didn't need it. Business was not clamoring for it, although they certainly aren't going to turn it down.
It was simply the "Santa Claus" theory at work....the PR of giving gifts out of Other People's Money.
If it were fiscally prudent then we would know because tax revenues would skyrocket and the deficit would come down.
What kind of DUFUS gives the maximum amount of money they can to the GOVT, interest free to use the entire year, to get that same amount of money back the following year?
The Democrats' voter base.

It's like loaning your neighbor money each month, which they put into a interest account (and get to keep) to get the same money you let them borrow back but the following year?

It was never a secret that the State and Local Tax deductions were no longer going to be deductions on Federal Taxes. Take it up with your State and Local Government.
Stop blaming Americans because the GOP pulled a fast one. It wasn't Trump--he has no clue regarding legislation, or from his past shady history--of taxes. Like the child he is, he wanted a Win! And like Brexit, people who want to believe they are not being lied to were lied to.
Go back and read the analysis and prognostications that were made at the time the GOP was having their kegger in the Rose Garden. Because for Trump and those guys in the Rose Garden--nothing mattered other than a win. They hurt a lot of people and they knew exactly what they were doing.
Really--why would they give everyone tax cuts when the economy is good, unemployment is low and the deficit is massive? Dumb idea--average people do not sound like they thought it was a good thing. But, just another reason not to vote for any of them in 2020.
This was a cover for giving corporate America and the one percent a gift. Trump basically admitted as much.
That much is true. Trump didn't have one clue what was in that tax plan. Weren't we supposed to make $4000 more a year?
Basically - this was a Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell gift to their rich, corporate cronies and Trump just wanted to put a score up on the board.
