GOP wants to screw US over Social Security

[Dagosa]

Putin is laughing at the stupidity of Democrats in this country. He LOVES it.

You seem impressed by Putin. Anyone else he loves ? Oh, Trump.

You guys are simply too dumb and/or ignorant to understand the dynamic. Democrats play checkers, not chess.

Yup, when ever draws flys and preaches fascism, it draws attention. When ever he blames democrats for attempting to assassinate him, who were really, two registered republicans, it draws attention. Like the GOP in general. They’ve had 10 of the last 11 recessions during their admins and economy. Wtf are you going to blame ?

The entirety of the Washington power structure, of course. The party that holds the House generates spending bills and can tie the president's hands if they want to. The party that holds the Senate controls who gets on the Supreme Court. You seem to forget that part. And no, TRUMP! is far from a fascist. That's just a trendy new label you think has meaning that the hate sites tell you to throw whenever you feel like you're losing an argument, which usually happens in the first or second response.

 

[Dagosa]

No, he doesn't. You guys just made that up.

Sure, you want to hear his speeches again, and again and again and…….MAGAs are deaf, dumb and blind.

They certainly seem to stop at the headline level.

I’m sure you thing this post means something.

It's clear he's not a fascist. That's just a meaningless label you like to throw around.

Yup, and guess who passed the massive tax cuts for the rich when in control of the presidency and both houses ?

Yes, it means Democrats are one-step thinkers. Try to keep up.

He passed tax cuts for everybody, including the poor.

Maybe the spin should be that Trump passed tax cuts for the poor instead of he passed tax cuts for the rich?

Again, low-level thinking and brainwashing at play here.

So, Trump is just faking Putin out whenever he gives him a rhetorical BJ. Go it.

Do you think Iran and China would rather have Harris or Trump as the next US president?

Hmmm, I remember tax cuts for all taxpaying citizens. Is it that to which you are referring?

Nope, the tax cuts for the rich were PERMANENT while the tax cuts for the middle class were temporary sunsets; pay attention. You checker player.

Do you think I really give a shit ? Are you that concerned about autocracies and their feelings. Oh boy, we have a life fish here.

See, this is what democrats don’t get about Humpers. You’re totally oblivious to anything Tucker and Newsmax spew out. They lie all the time about thinking you actually give a shit about this country. It’s hilarious. The gop does everything for money.

You follow Tucker then?

You MAGAs are just too dumb and ignorant about nearly everything material. Trump likes you though.

 

[Dagosa]

Indirectly. I just read your dumb ass posts.

They listen to every word he says, desperately hoping to find something, anything to complain about. They did that to Rush Limbaugh as well, generating a sizable portion of his audience.

2017 (Before the TCJA)

Single Filer	Married Filing Joint	Rate
$38,700 to $93,700	$77,400 to $156,150	25%
$424,950 to $426,700	$424,950 to $480,050	35%
$426,700+	$480,050+	39.6%

2018 (With the TCJA)

Single Filer	Married Filing Joint	Rate
$38,700 to $82,500	$77,400 to $165,000	22%
$200,000 to $500,000	$400,000 to $600,000	35%
$500,000+	$600,000+	37%

For starters, notice that those making between 200k and 424k did not get cut, in fact, many on the lower end of that bracket paid more taxes. Those making over 500k received a 2.6% cut, while those making between 39k and 82k(the largest portion of tax payers) received a 3% cut. In what world is 2.6% bigger than 3.0%? Of course higher earners saved more money because they made more money. These taxpayers still not only pay more money(which is irrelevant) but they also pay a 41% higher tax rate(22% vs 37%) Again, the left-wing narrative of the rich not paying their fair share is a load of crap.

As for what is expiring, yes, nearly everything is expiring. The only exceptions are the corporate tax rate(GOOD!) and some minor provisions on estate taxes.

Interestingly enough, the SALT cap will expire. That will help wealthier Americans. Guess who is the most excited? You guessed it, rich Democrats in blue states. They talk a big game, but when it starts to hit them in the pocketbook, they quickly change their tune.

You have been lied to…again.

Which provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act expire in 2025?
