"I Love Hitler" Leaked Messages Expose Young Republican Racist Chat.

Some Republican on another site posted a picture of one black guy at a Trump rally suggesting blacks are leaving the Democratic party. To what? To the party run by white supremacists? That's a lot to overlook.

Let's not forget how Republicans really feel. They'll claim here they are innocent and they've never said anything racist. But we know their party is run by white supremacists.

Participants used the N-word more than a dozen times, referred to Black people as "monkeys" and "the watermelon people," and used slurs for Latino and Asian people.

And Republican leaders defended these boys. Boys will be boys they say. Is that right? Is that acceptable in your home senator? When your son says nazi shit? He's just kidding? Really? Is he? You Republicans don't seem like you are kidding.

Dude. As a nation we should have elected Patrick Buchanan back in 92, if not 88.

If we had done that, we could have reversed these trends generations earlier and saved... who knows how many people.

But, every time, you lefties shouted down the truth, by screaming "wacist", like retarded, and ill mannered children.

And every time, the problems festered and killed and hurt people, and the political pressure grew and grew and it came back meaner and angrier.

Next was Herman Cain. You people shouted him down with bullshit sex talk.

Now it's Trump and you are trying to shout him down and if you manage to undo the little progress he has made, the next time will be even worse.

The idea that white Americans are going to continue to accept the anti-white discrimination of A.A./Diversity/blah, blah, blah,

is simply not true. There will always be pushback and the more you suppress it, the worse it will be the next time it bubbles up.

This is how Republicans spin shit. The biggest tax cut in history. For whom? The rich?

2. Is it wise to do that when we have debt?

3. Then didn't they shift the tax burden more on to you and these black people to pass those tax breaks? Sounds like slight of hand to me. Trump gave blacks a tax break.

4. AI says you are wrong. The claim that the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) was the biggest tax break for the middle class in American history is false

I ******* LOVE AI!!! I know you cons think it's got liberal bias. That's called truth fool.
I asked AI did trump give the middle class the biggest tax break in american history

From the government. The government not the rich control most of the wealth. Look at your paycheck. What you take home the rich gave you. What is deducted the government takes from you. Trump just cut taxes which means more take home pay and less for the government. Tax cuts mean less withholding more and take home pay.
The cuts are rate cuts high standard deduction, higher child credit, larger refund this year. That helps blacks too since they do work.
As in the past tax cuts increase tax revenues because the economy increases now that people have more money to spend.

Compare that to Biden, massive government spending severe inflation, high gas costs, illegals lowering wages, and increasing rents and housing costs. Are you nuts? Which would you rather have going for you

Nonsense. The problem with America is corporations have gotten too powerful. The rich. Let's call them billionaires. Anyone with less than $1 billion is harmless. Can you believe that? You can have $999 million dollars and you ain't shit. My has the gap grown. We need to fix that. You guys have given the rich tax breaks on Reagan, Bush and Trump's watch. Let's roll back those tax breaks. Put them back to pre reagan levels. Instead of taxing us via tariffs.

See what the GOP did? See what Trump did? He shifted the tax burden more on to us. Gave rich people and corporations even more tax breaks than Reagan and Bush already gave them, and to replace that basically give us a sales tax of 10%-50%. What a ******* scam. I told you guys that's what Republicans do. Shift the tax burden more on to us.

Anyone who is a billionaire should have their wealth cut in half when they die. Only billionaires. Why not? Their families can't get by with $500 million dollars?

Big, Beautiful Success Story: Middle Class Biggest Winner from Working Class Tax Cuts - Ways and Means

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Middle-class families will get an outsized share of the tax cuts from President Trump’s working families tax cut,...

waysandmeans.house.gov

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Middle-class families will get an outsized share of the tax cuts from President Trump’s working families tax cut, according to new analysis done by the Tax Policy Center, a left-leaning think tank. The study finds middle-class earners will get a $1,780 tax cut – a tax cut which every single House and Senate Democrat voted against.

“Even left-leaning academics cannot deny the facts: President Trump and Republicans delivered for the working families of America. Moms and dads, waitresses, line workers, welders, cops, and seniors will all see bigger paychecks thanks to Republicans’ working families tax cuts. Despite Democrat lies, the fact is that President Trump made the tax code fairer and more beneficial for working class Americans while placing a greater share of the tax burden on the wealthy,” said Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (MO-08). “The tax cuts will put more money in the pockets of working families and give them a bigger boost compared to the wealthy Americans that Democrats chose to shower with tax breaks under President Biden.”

Highlights:

Middle Class Gets Outsized Cut: The middle 20 percent of earners, will get 13 percent of the total tax cut while only currently paying 10 percent of all income tax. This means a $1,780 tax cut for every middle-income taxpayer from all of President Trump’s tax cuts.
Working Families Get Outsized Cut: Taxpayers in the bottom 40 percent of earners will see their taxes cut by 15 percent. The lowest 20 percent of earners get the largest reduction in taxes of any income group.
Top 1 Percent Will Pay a Larger Share: The working families tax cut increases the share of federal income taxes paid by the top 1 percent of taxpayers to nearly 35 percent.

IRS data proves Trump tax cuts benefited middle, working-class Americans most

Republicans’ 2017 tax reform law did exactly what was promised: It lowered taxes for all income groups.

thehill.com

Income data published by the IRS clearly show that on average all income brackets benefited substantially from the Republicans’ tax reform law, with the biggest beneficiaries being working and middle-income filers, not the top 1 percent, as so many Democrats have argued.

A careful analysis of the IRS tax data, one that includes the effects of tax credits and other reforms to the tax code, shows that filers with an adjusted gross income (AGI) of $15,000 to $50,000 enjoyed an average tax cut of 16 percent to 26 percent in 2018, the first year Republicans’ Tax Cuts and Jobs Act went into effect and the most recent year for which data is available.

Jim Beam to halt bourbon production at main Kentucky distillery for 1 year | TRENDING

Filers who earned $50,000 to $100,000 received a tax break of about 15 percent to 17 percent, and those earning $100,000 to $500,000 in adjusted gross income saw their personal income taxes cut by around 11 percent to 13 percent.

By comparison, no income group with an AGI of at least $500,000 received an average tax cut exceeding 9 percent, and the average tax cut for brackets starting at $1 million was less than 6 percent. (For more detailed data, see my table published here.)

That means most middle-income and working-class earners enjoyed a tax cut that was at least double the size of tax cuts received by households earning $1 million or more.

What’s more, IRS data shows earners in higher income brackets contributed a bigger slice of the total income tax revenue pie following the passage of the tax reform law than they had in the previous year.

In fact, every income bracket with filers earning $200,000 or more increased its tax burden in 2018 compared to 2017, and every income bracket with a top limit lower than $200,000 paid a smaller proportion of the total personal tax revenue collected.

That means that Republicans’ tax reform law resulted in the tax code becoming slightly more progressive — the exact opposite of what Democrats have claimed over the past four years.

The IRS data further shows that the tax reform law — which included a variety of business tax cuts, including a large reduction in the corporate income tax rate — spurred economic mobility.

Every income bracket with a top level lower than $25,000 experienced a reduction in its number of filers, and every income bracket above $25,000 increased in size, with the biggest gains occurring in the brackets with a floor of at least $100,000.

The fact is, Republicans’ 2017 tax reform law did exactly what was promised: It lowered taxes for all income groups, provided the greatest benefits for middle-income households, and spurred economic growth that helped reduce poverty and improve prosperity.

It would be a grave mistake for Democrats to eliminate key parts of this important legislation.

I suppose if they were being honest they would admit that they rely on this voting block. Qanon, white nationalists, Sovereign Citizen movement

Not every Republican is a racist or a sovereign citizen type but the GOP caters to these types.

The problem is the nuts have taken over the party. Trump is a birther, Steve Bannon, Stephen Miller. The nuts now run the GOP. And normal Republicans don't care. They thing these Republicans are better than any Democrat.

I asked one if he would vote for Hitler/Putin over a Democrat he said he would stay home.

"You Can't Govern if You Don't Believe in Government"

In a May 25, 2001 interview, Grover Norquist told National Public Radio's Mara Liasson, "I don't want to abolish government. I simply want to reduce it to the size where I can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub." Norquist got his wish.

www.thomhartmann.com

It was Reagan who began the deliberate and intentional destruction of the United States of America when he famously cracked (and then incessantly repeated): "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.'"

Reagan, like George W. Bush after him, failed to understand that when people come together into community, and then into nationhood, that they organize themselves to protect themselves from predators, both human and corporate, both domestic and foreign. This form of organization is called government.

Let the corporations handle your old-age pension. Let the corporations decide how much protection we and our environment need from their toxics. Let the corporations decide what we're paid. Let the corporations decide what doctor we can see, when, and for what purpose.

This is the exact opposite of the vision for which the Founders of this nation fought and died.

If you cannot support your assumption, just admit it. Not being able to support it, doesn't mean that it isn't still POSSIBLE, it is just something you suspect but have no real evidence.

Just remember this when they tell us wages are up, unemployment numbers are low and prices are down. You will never be shown all the numbers so everything you think or say, we should all take with a huge spoon of salt.

And you can't go by what you see either. Don't tell me that wages are up in your area just because you got a raise.

Also, when your white landscaper raises your prices next year, That's him passing tariff costs on to you. He may buy gas that's cheap and he may not have to buy a new lawn mower or parts for years to come but he has to buy groceries too. So your prices this year are going to go up. Factor that in to how well blue collar is doing with your unreliable numbers.

My source is the internet in 2026.

You know what cracks me up? It's so obvious Trump colluded with Russia. If not in 2016 Trump had as many as seven private phone calls with Russian President Vladimir Putin since leaving office in January 2021. That was a 2024 book so for 4 years Trump was calling Putin? What did they talk about? CLEARLY Putin was fishing for information. But idiot thought they were pals. And they were colluding on how to get Trump back in office. Did they talk about Ukraine?

But Correll would say I'm a conspiracy theorist to suggest anything nefarious was discussed. Suddenly he's gullible. Playing stupid?

The number I care about is working class wages, especially compared to inflation.

Craft policy to get that number growing faster than inflation, AS A LONG TERM TREND, and let it simmer for 3 or 4 generations,

And you can't go by what you see either. Don't tell me that wages are up in your area just because you got a raise.

True. But on the other hand, if there is a big disconnect betwen what you see and what the official numbers are saying,

then it is time to start asking some hard questions.

Also, when your white landscaper raises your prices next year, That's him passing tariff costs on to you. He may buy gas that's cheap and he may not have to buy a new lawn mower or parts for years to come but he has to buy groceries too. So your prices this year are going to go up. Factor that in to how well blue collar is doing with your unreliable numbers.

Two points.

1. The tariff panic mongers said that we were already in a recession. I was half convinced. It makes sense that the transition to reindustrialization could be rought. The last economic numbers, ie 4.3% is shocking and changes everything.

2. My white landscapers, as far as I know, have not raised prices for...several years. WE are probably overdue. I will check with wife to see if they raised rates at some point and she didn't mention it. Truely, the 4.3% changes everything. I was waiting for the next recession, to give me that last drop before we start really seeing what our numbers will be for retirement. But now... we might manage to soft land out of the bubble.

My source is the internet in 2026.

The new line of defense, is that this is just an AI bubble.

Well, a bubble can last years. I could see great growth for that time and not lose it all in the pop, when it finally comes.

As I initially stated, and you are confirming, you’re desperate to ignore the problem because you really don’t want to acknowledge it.

You’re like a person who finds a lump on their neck. That could be anything, right? There’s no real evidence it’s cancer.

I'm asking you to give me evidence of this. You tried, but your example gave no info on if the sample was representative or NOT.

That is not me being in denial, that is you not being able to support your assertion.

So you think the Manhattan Institute sought out right wing wanna be Nazis to be on their panel?

That’s an insane belief.

You know what cracks me up? It's so obvious Trump colluded with Russia. If not in 2016 Trump had as many as seven private phone calls with Russian President Vladimir Putin since leaving office in January 2021. That was a 2024 book so for 4 years Trump was calling Putin? What did they talk about? CLEARLY Putin was fishing for information. But idiot thought they were pals. And they were colluding on how to get Trump back in office. Did they talk about Ukraine?

But Correll would say I'm a conspiracy theorist to suggest anything nefarious was discussed. Suddenly he's gullible. Playing stupid?

Trump is continuing support for Ukraine and continuing sanctions on russia.

In this hypothetical collusion, what was the pay off for Putin?

The number I care about is working class wages, especially compared to inflation.

Craft policy to get that number growing faster than inflation, AS A LONG TERM TREND, and let it simmer for 3 or 4 generations,

and this country will be a ******* utopia. Relative to the clown world we live in now.

Well since everything went up 10% or more, expect that 4.3% to move to a full 10% minimum this year.

I'm so glad I'll survive whatever happens. And I have no kids. My brother is rich so his kids are even set.

Honestly, I'm the most fair and balanced person you will find here on USMB now that I think about it. I'm a Democrat sure so that's some bias but I'm a well off person, white, straight, gun owner. Do you know my friends and family are constantly asking me why I'm a liberal or Democrat because I don't sound or act like one. I do so because I care about them. They are all middle class people. Without us Democrats and liberal policies, yall would be fucked. I care about the middle class.

What have we seen since Reagan? Exactly what I told you we would see. Them shifting the tax burden onto us. So Bush gave the rich and corporations tax breaks and in the 2000's our taxes went up to fix roads and infrastructure. Had to because we were broke. Maybe we shouldn't have given those tax breaks then? Why did he make them permanent?

Then Trump gave HISTORIC tax breaks to the rich. His own words. And now they are bragging how much tariffs are brining in. See? They did it again. Shifted the tax more on to us.

Maybe this is where things are headed? Only sales tax. No income taxes, taxes on the interest you make on your investments, no corporate taxes. Just taxes on what we buy.

Be careful. They say that will be harder on you and me. For example Michigan just implemented a 24% tax on marijuana. It went into affect Jan 1. I purchased 4 ounces before it happened. Some say it's unconstitutional and they are going to fight it. I don't think they'll win that one. I know Republicans for years have wanted a flat tax and I believe they have pushed just a sales tax. What do you think about that?
