Too bad right wingers are even more corrupt, and allege they are not really like that.
You got your way ,Pinko. As Trump says ,lets see what happens. Like right after the TAX increase.
You mean the tax increase for those making $400,000 or more? That won't affect you one iota. The tax reduction for the wealthy did nothing for you.
They took their tax savings and bought stocks. Did you think they would share their wealth with you? Why?
Before the tax reduction for the wealthy, the economy was on the rise and all this did was to lead to the coming recession, as in the Clinton administration.
What makes you think you have the right to other peoples money/wealth?
explain why you think people should pay different rates?
Before Trump, the economy was on the rise? What metric are you using for that? Under OBAMA, by every metric, economic growth was anemic. GDP was the slowest growth post recession practically ever. Wages were stagnant. Manufacturing was drying up. Fuel
Prices were high. Labor participation rate was in the shitter. And so on and so forth.
Of course, the economy was in recovery. Let's not forget that we had just been in the deepest recession since the depression and a slow recovery was ok during that period, as anemic as it was since the recovery had just begun. The economy was picking up steam when trump arrived.
trump only goosed the recovery with his unnecessary tax reduction for the wealthy and his scrapping of environmental laws for profit.
Every time a Repub cuts Tax ,the filthy Democrats always cry "Tax cuts for the RICH" . Yet who bankrolled THEIR fuckin' Campaign? Wall Street and Silicon Valley. Not to Mention Hollyfuck. Socialism works until they run out of other peoples money.
That is the point. We didn't need tax cuts for the wealthy because they were wealthy and would remain that way with or without a tax cut. trump said that the wealthy would reinvest it in the economy and they invested it in the stock market, driving it to where it is today. "Every time a Repub cuts Tax"? A joke, yes? The deficit is out of control because of trump's spending and lack of input from the wealthy. Remember that trump promised to eliminate the national debt in 8 years--another false statement by trump.
We can’t tax our way out of it.
The federal government was racking in huge amounts of tax revenue, more so after the tax cut.
The problem with the debt and deficit isn’t on the income side of the ledger, it in the expenses side. Government is bloated beyond all reason. Democrats just keep wanting to spend more and more, more programs, entitlements, etc.
Though I will give you this, Trump didn’t get ahold of spending. Granted, the house is who controls that, not trump.
I would say it’s more reasonable to blame the republicans in the house and senate than trump.
But they are all addicted to spending. Republicans and democrats.
trump has done nothing but spend, and we are not taking enough taxes in which balloons the deficit. Do I think that we need a strong military? You betcha! Not to the extent that trump has gone. He promised to make the debt disappear in 8 years, among other things. What he has accomplished is to rip environmental controls apart for profit.
ok. You seem to be just firing off partisan talking points here. I’m assuming you’re a democrat?
How does a democrat possibly complain about spending when the previous administration spent money like drunken marxists, doubling the debt in 8 freaking years???
No, trump didn’t get the spending under control, but I already addressed that. That is the fault of both parties in the house and congress. They keep spending and spending. There were attempts to control spending, and it kept leading to those terrifying “government shutdowns” your fellow democrats in government and media would cry about and swear was going to kill us all. I can’t stress enough that tax revenue is not the issue. We can’t tax our way out of this. If we take in a trillion dollars a year, and spend 2 trillion, we will have a deficit. The government has a spending problem. Increasing taxes merely slows economic growth.
As for the regulation and “destroying the environment”, that’s nonsense. Our regulations are onerous, and they hamstring our industry and businesses to the point that they move overseas to counties with practically ZERO environmental protections. Look at the environmental impact that counties like China and India have. They are literally 100x the polluters we are. There is a point of diminishing returns on these regulations. No one wants nuclear waste dumped in people’s backyards, but we don’t donthat and haven’t done anything like that for over 50 years. But to keep putting tighter and tighter restrictions on things like carbon emissions, which ours are so negligible it’s absurd, so that industry leaves and goes to China and pumps out literally shit tons of pollution is absurd. It’s counterproductive both economically and environmentally, and causes far far more damage to the environment than had we not put these absurd regulations in place.
