If the Trump 2017 tax cuts were such a horrible thing...

Further proof that you’re a dumb-ass.

Wouldn't that be the OP?

You’ve demonstrated that you’re at least an equal dumb-ass.

Why don't you run that by the OP, and I'll take on the winner...

You’re the dip-shit who doesn’t know who writes the federal budget. Not me. You’re a fucking moron.

By what magic do you believe Donald Trump campaigns on a tax cut?

READ THE THREAD TITLE, CRETIN.

Keep trying to squirm away from your idiotic comments. It’s funny.

You post several comments demonstrating your ignorance about how a federal budget is created, so you squirm away once you realized you made a fool of yourself.

....why didn't President Biden roll them back when the Democrats had control of the House and Senate for two years? I mean, it's not like they didn't have the opportunity to do that. Pelosi was the House leader and Schumer was the Senate leader then, so they could have easily overturned the Trump tax cuts, but they didn't. In fact, they don't expire until 2025.

Remember all the wailing and gnashing of the teeth from the left, how the tax cuts only benefited the rich? Was that just another Democrat lie? Apparently it was just one more in a long string of Democrat lies.

"Tax cuts signed into law in 2017 by then-President Donald Trump have raised revenues for the federal government over the last five years, despite concerns among Democrats and other critics that the cuts would be a fiscal nightmare only benefiting the rich.

The government collected a record $4.9 trillion in revenue last year, according to the latest report from the Congressional Budget Office, a nonpartisan federal agency. That's nearly $500 billion higher than what the CBO had projected.

Receipts from corporate income taxes, meanwhile, were $425 billion, exceeding CBO's projection by 25%, while receipts from individual income taxes were $2.6 trillion, exceeding CBO's projection by 11%.

Federal revenues are now up about $1.5 trillion, or roughly 40%, since the Trump tax cuts went into effect at the beginning of 2018. By comparison, the cuts were initially estimated to cost the government $1 trillion, according to the Joint Committee on Taxation."

Federal revenue continues to soar with Trump tax cuts, CBO report shows


"The reforms are set to expire – and certain provisions have already expired – in 2025. Unless the Congress moves to make the 2017 tax reforms permanent, Americans will suffer colossal tax increases crushing small businesses and family budgets.

The 2017 tax cuts delivered results for the American people, despite fierce opposition and false predictions of economic ruin. Opposition to the tax cut plan was intense. It was constant and well organized. At the time, many pundits – both on the right and left – predicted that the Republicans in Congress would cower and (former) President Trump would be forced to fold. It didn’t happen.

“We now have incontrovertible evidence that after five years since they took effect, the Trump tax rate cuts of 2017 raised revenues over this time period. The latest Congressional Budget Office report released earlier [in January] calculated that the federal government collected $4.9 trillion of federal revenue last year. This was up — ready for this? — almost $1.5 trillion since 2017, the year before the tax cuts became law. In other words, revenues were up 40% in five years. The evidence through the first three years of the tax cut finds that the share of taxes paid by the wealthiest 1% rose as well. So much for this being a tax giveaway for the rich.

Even with the Covid crisis and the pandemic lockdowns, the American economy experienced a ‘giant Laffer Curve’ effect from the 2017 tax cuts. In other words, Moore explains “we got higher growth and higher tax payments with lower tax rates.” The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act delivered good results for the American people."

Tax Armageddon Day Is Coming

Well, all those rich liberals who trashed trump for those tax cuts, im sure they all took advantage of them. I mean, I don’t think there’s anything that says you have to take a tax break. You don’t get in trouble for giving the government too much money.

Also, you don’t ever see those same liberals volunteering extra money to the government. Dems will say that the rich don’t pay their fair share, yet they won’t hold their own accountable and demand they send the government a check for the amount over what they feel is too much.

The whole “the rich don’t pay their fair share” is just a weapon to criticize republicans, but in hidden places, they actually like those tax cuts, and the millions and tens of millions they make every year.

My words.

Not your gibberish.

So now you’re denying that you claimed a president is responsible to create the federal budget?

 

[tahuyaman]

Because Congress isn't responsible for Fiscal Policy.

The congress is the branch with the power to create fiscal policy. The president can either go along or try to change their policies.

By what authority did Candidates Reagan, Bush and Trump offer the voting public tax rate reductions?

They can advocate tax cuts all day long. They can’t enact them. Only the congress can do that. The congress will go along if it become obvious that the public is on the president’s side on that.

You are continuing to prove you’re an idiot.
