Politics "Don't be fooled" by Trumps economy

It was all a scam calling it a middle class tax reduction as they were basing that on consumers being suckers. Give em a nickel and they will be happy while the rich get mega breaks.

hahaha, you know I don't know why R's and D's always argue about who should get credit for the economy. It's impossible to tell in my view. How about we just enjoy the ride and try to avoid a situation where the bottom falls out.

Edit: Oh I guess in response to OP, I personally have found it very difficult to fill positions. I think unemployment is way down. It may take a little while for all people to experience the economic boom.

 

I think it depends on just where one draws the line
For middle class.
They are doubling exemptions and many who don’t have huge write offs should come out ok.
The middle class that deduct everything under the sun and some the increased deduction may not work in their favor.
It’s a form of progressive taxing when high income middle class? And wealthy share more of the net burden. The wealthy bracket went down some however small business owners should be better off too.

 

...you do know I was kidding, right?

 

Yes, of course. And I was sticking an elbow in your ribs.

 

...lol..I know...we've just had a few occasions where I replied to someone on your "ignore" list that caused a bit of confusion/miscommunication.

...but in retaliation for your elbow poking I'm returning the favor with one of these;

 

Good grief, I love the stooges. My wife and I have spent hours rolling on the floor with laughter. I remember one time when she was working swing shift and I was working a split shift. We would come home about the same time and put on the TV and watchthe Stooges late night.

 

They are not doubling exemptions. They got rid of them. They increased the standard deduction, which screws those of us that itemized because we no longer get exemptions.

You are correct that the middle class is different. Bob the middle class dude in Iowa where cost of living is low is gonna be fine. The middle class that gets fucked are people in Oregon, California, Washington where cost of living and housing is substantially higher and 100k/year isnt that much.

Btw, I didnt know deducting mortgage interest, property taxes and state and local income taxes was "everything under the sun."

 

It's not a long article. You should read it.

 

No, but for most people it's the lion's share.

...Wow, I have no words.

 

well high IQ was never a prerequisite for being a trump supporter.

 

Exactly.

God forbid they get to deduct a little medical expenses or charitable contributions.

Assholes.

 

...you're not talking about Trumppansies are you?

 

Jeez Marzy....didnt know you were into cocaine.
