Low blow and unfair to Roy Moore.

Here are some charts illustrating that Trickle down economics has had almost no appreciable effect on anyone aside from top earners.

https://inequality.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/real-weekly-wages.png

Not how only the top line really climbs in any way. Real wages have been stagnant for over 40 years.

https://inequality.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/growth-in-before-tax-income-final-2.png

The blue line is the total average. The red line is the bottom 20% of earners. Again trickle down economics has not trickled down to the working class in any noticeable way

https://inequality.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/share-of-total-us-income-tippy-top-19193-2015.png

Finally look at the distribution of wealth - this chart tracks what % of the nations total wealth is in the hands of the top .1%. You see the chart peak a first time in the 20s, fall off in the great depression and stay really low throughout the Golden Age of the Middle Class from the 40s through the early 80s when the big trickle down tax reform plan passed and now? More wealth is in the hands of the very very few than at any time ever, including just prior to the Great Depression.

This source does have an agenda but all of this data is collected from the CBO and the Bureau of Labor Statistics and you can read more here.

https://inequality.org/facts/income-inequality/

The point is no one in this topic is going to reap the rewards of this tax bill aside from maybe SephG.

How can anyone think supply side economics works for the lower-middle class?

Increased demand is what causes suppliers to hire more workers / increase supply.

In my opinion, based on everything I heard from the police department and speaking with the administration from the school, that this was a story piece milled together by a substitute teacher alleging this child was sexually harassing her, the teacher, and possibly being a terrorist, said community activist Quanell X. A 6-year-old kid.

In full disclosure I stand to make an extra 4K a year.

Not that I support the bill but my quick calculations showed we would actually be pulling down a decent chunk more. My wife and I both have high paying jobs and and we had been taking the standard deduction in past years. That is the primary situation where youll be benefitting under the bill, sadly.

Unless you identify as a corporation. Then youre in good shape too.

I had to fire General Flynn because he lied to the Vice President and the FBI. He has pled guilty to those lies. It is a shame because his actions during the transition were lawful. There was nothing to hide!


Okay so he admits he knew about the same lies Flynn is guilty of before he asked Comey to drop the investigation.

Heres the spicy source on that in case anyone has forgotten

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/trump-s-tweets-official-statements-spicer-says-n768931

"The president is president of the United States," Spicer said, "so they are considered official statements by the president of the United States."
