    This. The constitution is only a bunch of words on old paper, wherein lies the power? Is it the words or the fact that people are satisfied enough?

    there you go again, confused

    tax loopholes are not illegal.


    stupidity is parroting the false claim that a consumption tax is panacea, when in fact, it has been proven to be an open invitation for black market transaction

    marco rubio... " If I were king for a day, this tax bill would have looked different. I thought we probably went too far on (helping) corporations. By and large, you’re going to see a lot of these multinationals buy back shares to drive up the price. Some of them will be forced, because they’re sitting on historic levels of cash, to pay out dividends to shareholders. That isn’t going to create dramatic economic growth"

    at least trump knows he's a conman and proud of it, there is something twistedly admirable to the dedication of Trump's lying abilities, but what's wrong with marco, you can't worship two gods.

    Here's an interesting article for you:-
    It seems the U.S. is not the only place black billionaires are scarce.

    No need to wait. Trump’s tariffs will cool the economy and wage growth. This is just Trump being proactive.

    Apparently someone doesn’t understand what veto power is. No way that tax bill is repealed under a Republican President. Maybe in 2021 but it would likely just be a fix in the high income bracket where it’s not so heavily weighted towards the top. Most Democrats were okay with a cut in the corporate rate but maybe not that deep.

    That being said I wouldn’t be shocked if the Republican propaganda machine started running ads for November saying to vote Republican or else the evil Democrats will literally pull $4,000 dollars out of your bank account on January 1st.

    The more prudent thing to do if the Democrats come back in office ever will be to fix our healthcare system which is where the bulk of people’s paychecks are going to drain our wealth.

    No, I criticized the tax cut because it benefitted corporations and wealthy and not the rest of us, and here we are, seeing where that play out...

    Wait, are you upset that this kind of tax distribution has a history of lowering crime rates? Why is that a problem? If your taxes are going to pay to prevent crime in the first place, or put to use after crimes have already been committed to go after the people committed them, wouldn't you want to pay them in a way that prevents crime from happening to from the beginning?

    lol, You complained that the bonuses given out that were credited to the tax cut were not due to the tax cut and now you complain the tax cut has not created enough of them? You do realize we just finished Q1 of 2018 don't you? There are three more quarters this year and that not even including the following years.

    Most people did. The only people you hear complaining about it are those who want to reverse the tax cuts and make people pay more.
