| Topic | So my paycheck is officially $227 a month larger now after Trumps tax cuts |
| Arcturus1121 02/02/18 12:14:18 AM #192 | Uncle Choad posted... In 2 or 3 years, remember your way of thinking. If it's a terrible idea and the wealth gap widens, consider yourself right Umm, I can already 100% guarantee this will happen. Many studies showing this already. Uncle Choad posted... But at least admit it when the standard of living for everyone increases (it will). Things have stagnated for like 40 years, and we finally have a HUGE change in how taxes and government programs are run, and you're still upset. And you're only upset because it wasn't done the way you want. (Free stuff without incentive) I 100% agree standard of living will increase currently, what I'm saying is it would increase more if the larger tax breaks were given to those of lower status rather than upper class and corporations. The huge change I don't know what you are talking about, tax cuts have happened before. I'm still waiting for the trickle down from 40 years ago. I guess the Bush tax cuts weren't as large but they were still tax cuts, still waiting for the trickle down there too. I don't understand the "free stuff without incentive" I'm just asking for PEOPLE not CORPORATIONS to get the larger cuts (notice I'm not saying nobody should get cuts, just provide the larger cuts to the people who need them more - and if you say this economic practice should work how it is supposed to, then supposedly these people will spend their extra cash at business to help "un-stagnate" the economy.) Uncle Choad posted... Giving people money is the easiest platform to run on. "Vote for me, I'll give you money." Herein lies the biggest problem, it's because we allow corporations to lobby. So the people with more money lobby for their candidates and in turn get these huge breaks (very simplified, but you get the point). You're right "vote for me, I'll give you money" should work, It's not my fault the lower class aren't voting that way. Clearly they are persuaded by a few extra bucks while the higher ups get the larger breaks. You have to keep in mind, I understand people who pay more taxes should get more money back, duh. But, you have to look at the percentages as I alluded to in a previous post. I should be happy I'm getting an extra 5% cut in my taxes (yay $150/month extra!), but it's clearly blinding you from the fact that the guy making millions is getting a 15% cut in his taxes (millions/month extra!). I'll try and add numbers say I make $1000/month, with the tax break I now make $1100/month (Wowee! An extra 10%/month!). Now, the guy making $20,000/month gets the tax break and is taking home $24,000/month (That is an extra 20%.) So what I'm saying is why not let the guy making $1000/month take home $1200 (20% extra) and the guy who makes $20,000/month take home $22,000/month (10% extra). Everyone get's tax cuts still. This is what people should be upset about. Yeah, great, you are getting extra money. Well the people above you are getting a shit load of extra money. And yeah the problem is lobbying and voting and will probably never change. It's great to get extra money, don't get me wrong. But this will undoubtedly increase the wage gap and will stifle the economy, possibly back into a recession, in about 4-8 years I would predict. --- [l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l] |

Sad No, look, If you read my previous message, I believe #150, I want the exact same amount of money to go to the american people. But rather than give the top 1% a 15% tax cut, give that to the lower class, and give the top 1% the 5% tax cut the lower class gets. (again these are just numbers for example, but this is how it is). How are you not getting this. I like money for American People, there are just better ways then giving all the breaks to the rich and corporations, and then sprinkling a little on top to make the little man feel good. --- [l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l] |

Arcturus1121 posted...Kazi1212 posted...Liberals can complain how bad these tax cuts are all they want, the fact of the matter is struggling families will see a bigger paycheck thanks to it. When youre in that position youll gladly take what you can get. Its easy saying how bad these tax cuts are from the sidelines, but ~$100 extra a month can make a tangible difference for burdened families Yes, that is the problem exactly, but it shouldn't be about the size. It should be about the percent. Lower class cut is helping them take home what, an extra 5%/month or whatever. For the upper class they are taking home an extra 15%/month. They upper class shouldn't get a larger tax cut, they should get the same amount as the lower class. But, ok, be happy with your extra $150 dollars per month, oh boy that's awesome. EDIT: just note, these values are just examples, not fact, but get the point across of what is happening. --- [l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l] |

It's just this has the possibility of creating long term issues and what is an extra $100 per month for those people is an extra couple million for the 1%, which is most likely not needed for those folks. --- [l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l][l] |
