Sad "No matter what, Donald Trump and the GOP is mean to me! I'm not sure how, but I'm sure!" Oh Im pretty sure how. Cutting taxes during a period of economic expansion = lack of funding during an inevitable recession = GOP trying to cut social programs as theyve done in the past. Also, corporations saving billions and not having to give it away to taxes = no incentive to reinvest it back into their businesses = less economic growth and less job creation.

Yeah some people might take that and save or invest it and that's great, but I highly doubt the majority of people are going to do that. To them the extra money is basically meaningless.</quote> A large amount of the conservatives here are just trolling. Not to say all conservatives are trolls, but theres no reason to really be celebrating here. Yay I got an extra $20! But now the roads are shit, education funding is slashed, and theres no more Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. But at least I angered some liberals!!!! Its compounded even worse because the GOP base use those social programs a lot too. And then again, when the cuts are ended, Republicans are just gonna be like BUT DEMOCRATS and the base will eat it up.</quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

(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." In theory, it's a no brainer to not vote for that. But people are realizing that they are empty promises (see the last 40 years) 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] <cite>Arcturus1121 posted [p:895289791] in So my payc...
