I really enjoyed my tax break under Trump. I did hate my reduced insurance benefits and inflated rates under Obama though.

Actually, you should still be enjoying it, though it is due to expire this year.
You mean this tax break?

The middle class needs a tax cut: Trump didn’t give it to them​

At a recent rally in Montana, President Trump claimed that “Republicans passed the biggest tax cuts in American history, the biggest in American history. Everybody in this room is better for them. Everybody is better for them.”

Unfortunately, this isn’t true. Everybody is not better off from the recent tax cuts, which have only served to increase the federal budget deficit—now $779 billion for FY 2018 according to new data released by the Treasury Department. To be sure, the middle class gets help temporarily, but over the longer run, the middle class will be worse off.

Just think of the hunting benefits when USA buys out (ok, merges with) Canada....no non-resident BS and untold hunting opportunities. I can't wait.

Like DJT states...it's to their benefit and they will be better off...and with lower taxation and a nicer safety net.

If they resist...tariff them until they buckle. The price tag will be less.

They need better leaders anyways.

Which tax break was that? Please be specific.
Decreased tax bracket %
Increased Child credit
Increased standard deduction
Raised the exemption amount and exemption phase-out threshold for AMT
Raised the estate tax exemption

Maybe you should study up more on it…..

My insurance got cut because it was to good(part of my employer incentive package) , my wife’s insurance plan got cut because it didn’t offer maturity care, she choose that plan over the maturity plan because it had better coverage, for less, and she can’t have any more kids…. She now has less overall coverage for a lot more $

Obama health care decreased plan options, plan benefit, and exponentially raised cost…. Aka F’d the middle class

Funny how only one in the last three administration that’s actually saved me money was same one that progressives stated was going to screw me……

Your right my actual tax burden and percentage didn’t go down…lol


if you want less deficit push for less wellfare spending…deficit is nothing more then don’t spend more then you take in. Those(individual tax burden and governmental spending) are two different things.

I am 100% bias against bigotry, I won’t pretend otherwise.

On this, we very strongly disagree. As it is a matter of opinion, there isn’t much use arguing about it.

On this, we mostly agree, we are also one of the richest, and could afford healthcare for all if we were to tax the rich as we should.

Have you ever looked into compensation vs. productivity?

We live in the most diverse and least bigoted country in the world. If you think bigotry is a regularly present threat, you’re not living in reality. You’re brainwashed by left wing nonsense, nonsense that is largely responsible for the recent widespread failures of leftist politicians.

You don’t have a right to the labor and services of someone else, and it’s not the responsibility of the billionaires to provide healthcare to anyone, though they often do so through voluntarism, see David Koch.

Something we agree on, corporate welfare has got to end.

Apparently you are immune. I know this isn’t very fair, the truth has a liberal bias.
You might check your mirror. You are arguing against actual facts that many people and mainly mild class experience less tax burden under Trumps plan. It’s a pretty simple concept. If your tax burden % and overall amount under Trump tax cuts decreased, it saved you money.

You also made comments about health care but yet refuse to acknowledge how the AFA actually lowered the quality of most middle class’s health care while increasing premiums exponentially.

You are trying to paint a broad brush with minute articles written to deflect retained income.

In the end, tax income seems to be more closely tied to gdp and not tax rates. Runs around 16-18%. https://www.mercatus.org/research/data-visualizations/tax-rates-vs-tax-revenues In the end the only way to raise tax revenue is to raise gdp. Changing tax rates is more to energize your base and look like you are doing something. Problem is it’s hard to increase gdp. Much easier to change tax rates.

The left hasn’t been liberal for some time, and this is largely the reason why they have taken so many losses recently.

Tell that to a trans kid.

Funny thing, I’d say the same to the billionaires who take an ever increasing share of what is produced. Ever look into productivity vs compensation?

David Koch, of Koch Industry fame?

Koch Industries Still Rides the Tax Subsidy Gravy Train​

While Charles Koch talks a good game about opposing special-interest handouts and corporate welfare—and is actually opposed to tax subsidiesthat benefit the middle class—his multinational conglomerate squeezes out every tax break it can for its various operations.

Koch Industries consistently ranks as one of the top two largest privately owned companies in the U.S., placing just behind the commodity trading company Cargill, with $120 billion in revenues last year. But that didn’t stop it from reaping the benefits of more than $38 million in local and state tax rebates, tax reductions, and grants in 2021 and 2022, in addition to a number of enterprise zone subsidies and tax abatements for which amounts were not disclosed.
