Trump Tax Cuts

[jimntx]

Your the one who fell for yet another dose of liberal fake news pal.

Try some independent thinking for once.

Btw, type in "tax policy center" in google and look what comes up first in results. "Tax policy center bias"

What does that tell you?

It tells me that anti-thinking numb brains like you have used that search phrase more than any other because you go to Google with a predetermined outcome in mind; so, you type in "Tax policy center bias." That determines what comes up first in the results. Google simply counts the searches. It makes no determination as to the validity of what is displayed. Just what people searched, and what it found..

For instance, if I search "ZIP code 75208" Google tells me that ZIP code is in Dallas, TX. The next time when I search ZIP code, but not a specific number, the search phrase "ZIP code 75208" comes up first.

You really should take off the tin hat. It won't protect you from the Martians who are in cahoots with the mainstream media to take over the world. The wealthy people of the world have already done that. There is no hope for you to get ahead. You will spend your life working at MacDonald's. But don't get your hopes up. I doubt seriously the manager is going to let you work the front counter.

P.S. I took your challenge and typed in Tax policy center on Google. The results in order were
1. Tax Policy Center
2. Tax Policy
3. Tax Policy bias
4. Tax Policy Trump

You wouldn't be putting out some fake news, and reporting only what you wanted to see, now would you? Note that bias comes right before Trump in the search results.

It's great to see how brain dead liberals like yourself haven't learned their lesson.

All your preconceived notions and world views came crashing down on Election Day.

Your were told and believed that the only thing mattered was the right for someone else to bake a cake for you.

Your were told and believed that the only thing mattered was the ability for a man to use the woman's restroom.

Your were told and believed that the It was acceptable to kill police officers all in the name of "racial justice".

For the past year and half you were told and believed, that there is no way someone like Trump could get elected, and would be soundly defeated by a large margin.

So your liberal bubble echo chamber you lived in all your life made all of you look like an idiot, and yet you still firmly hold on to those beliefs.

What could go wrong?

TPC Funded by two left wing think tanks. Brookings and The Urban Institute.

How liberal is Brookings? Ask Discover the Networks:

Brookings has been involved with a variety of internationalist and state-sponsored programs, including the Global Governance Initiative, which aspires to facilitate the establishment of a U.N.-dominated world government, based in part on economic and Third World considerations. Brookings Fellows have also called for additional global collaboration on trade and banking; the expansion of the Kyoto Protocol; and nationalized health insurance for children. Nine Brookings economists signed a petition opposing President Bush’s tax cuts in 2003. The Brookings Institution’s President since 2002 has been Strobe Talbott, who served as President Clinton’s Deputy Secretary of State. The Board of Trustees features Teresa Heinz Kerry, wife of John Kerry; Zoe Baird, failed Clinton appointee for Attorney General.

But wait; the Tax Policy Center is also identified as being supported by another entity. Perhaps that’s why WaPo identifies them as non-partisan.

And that entity is — drum roll, please…

The Urban Institute.

The Urban Institute? That Urban Institute? How liberal are they?

Let’s return to Discover the Networks:

In 1980, UI called for socialized health care in the United States, and in 1982 began a running critique of the Reagan Administration under its Changing Domestic Priorities Project; the critique ran to 26 volumes, with research paid for by the Ford Foundation. In 1990, UI put together a similar critique of the administration of President George H.W. Bush. In the wake of the Los Angeles riots in 1992, UI became a leading policy-center apologist for urban black violence, focusing on societal and economic, rather than moral and criminal, factors in its analysis of the riots. In 2001, UI and the Brookings Institution began collaboration on a Tax Policy Center (TPC) to discredit President George W. Bush’s tax cut plans, which UI claimed disproportionately and unjustly favored ‘the wealthy.’

Does anyone truly trust the Washington Post to be non-partisan? Only about as non-partisan as Brookings, the Urban Institute, and the Tax Policy Center.

Take a bow Jimmy, you got played as the fool...still..

 

[KCFlyer]

Your first mistake was actually believing TPC is "non-partisan". They are funded by two left wing think tanks. How else do you think they would spin this?

Try some independent thought and not fall for every fake news story someone shares on your Facebook.

Here is some independent thought for you...Trump tosses the masses a bone of a 2% tax cut. They will think they won the lottery. Then he'll toss a 20% tax cut to the top percentage of "job creators" who invest most of their money. This means that "shareholder value" will "Trump" job creation. This means that Ma and Pa middle class, that got their hundred dollar tax cut will be told by their bosses that they either take a pay cut or get laid off. And the first company that should be assessed some 35% tariff for moving jobs to another country should turn right around and file a lawsuit to insure that the Trump clothing line is subjected to the same tariff and not "grandfathered" in.

Saying the same thing over and over and over again does not make it so in any head except yours. Obviously your tin hat is too small. It's cutting off the circulation to your brain.

Obviously you're struggling with reality. No wonder you repeatedly look like an idiot.

Thanks, Pete.

 

[KCFlyer]

That's a great fake news story.

I didn't realize that sitting back, thinking...reviewing history and all that stuff was "fake news". I'm living in the petri dish for the country - Kansas. You should check out how great it's working out here. Here's a sample...my ex wife is a realtor who nets over 6 figures a year. She paid zero state tax. My daughter, who works two part time jobs in college and GROSSED $8,000 had to write a check for $50 more than was withheld from her checks. FWIW - my ex didn't create any new jobs with her tax cut. Neither will the investor class that runs this country.

 

[Seatacus]

So what should the tax rates be? What is fair? I am middle class and would like to pay less. I am sure there are some who make less than me and consider me wealthy would like me to pay more.

 

[KCFlyer]

I haven't found anybody yet who liked to pay taxes. But you know...if I were LUCKY enough to be making enough money that I was in the highest tax bracket....if I was LUCKY enough to pass on an estate that would subject my heirs to a "death tax"....I would NOT be complaining about my taxes. Yet...the conservatives toss out this "tax cut" talk and get the middle class to buy into it.

Both my parents passed away by 2004. I got the estate. Do you know how much I paid in "death taxes"? Not one red cent. Not a penny. Because there is a $5,000,000 exemption. My folks lived comfortably, but I needn't have feared the 'death tax'. I wonder...how many people working two jobs and living in a 1200 square foot home voted against the "death tax", believing that it was going to impact THEIR estate.

Then they toss the middle class a "tax cut". By the time you get down to the actual rate, it amounts to a cut of 2% or less. Or...maybe 1 months worth of groceries. But the "rich" will get a cut of about 20%. That's a whole LOT of groceries. And while the THEORY is that if the rich get all these tax cuts, they will invest that money into job creation and lo and behold, all of the ills facing this country will be solved. Except it has never worked that way...especially with tax rates as low (yes, I said as LOW) as they are today. The right likes to point to Kennedy cutting taxes. When the top rate is 90%, you've got some room to cut. So he cut them to 70%. Things happened. Then we have Reagan....he cut them from 70% to 50%. Still room for some good things, but it was also about that time that the focus went to stocks and the market, and not into "job creation". In fact, starting in the 80's most high rollers were making their money in investments that COST jobs - LBO's and mergers.

Tax cuts today only make the rich richer. They invest the money...and the middle class fights hard to eliminate the capital gains tax. They've got their 401K's don't ya know. So we invest the money, eliminate capital gains and our estates grow in excess of $5 million - so we need to eliminate the "death tax". More power to you if you think you'll leave your heirs with more than $5 million...the average middle class worker won't be anywhere near that. BUT....you got your 2% tax cut....a month's worth of groceries....so all is well. In fact...under Trumps plan SOME middle class family will see an INCREASE.

So let me ask you...if you got a tax cut they gave you an extra million dollars a year - and we cut the capital gains tax to zero....or at least to a rate that is lower than what the average family with a taxable income of $50,0000 pays...would you invest that money in stocks....or would you put it at risk by trying to "create some jobs" where you could lose some, if not all of it?

KCFlyer, I knew you were being sarcastic. Did you not notice the LOL at the end of my post? The trickle down philosophy has never worked nor will it this time around. And, if you wait another 4 years, the powers that be will find that the failure of the trickle down was your fault. "They" did everything perfectly.

If you want to see a spectacular socialist failure look at the EU.

If you want to see a spectacular socialist failure look at the EU.

And if you want to see a spectacular Laugher failure, look at Kansas.
