We won, the left lost and lost huge. Win an election libwits then you can talk shit.
All you can say is that you won. It's not like you can justify winning it without deflecting to bitching about Hillary. You can't defend the GOP on its own merit. You know Trump is sack of garbage but you lack the emotional maturity to admit it. You won because Americans are incredibly stupid. That's nothing to feel proud of.
I will be more than willing to defend GOP policies and positions, based on their own merit.
Are you done with your childish little rant?
If so ----- bring it on.
Ok how about you explain how cutting taxes for top earners stimulates the overall economy when historically we know it has never worked.
As usual, you focus on little bits and pieces of information, but never seem to see the whole picture. Do your research - what is the impact on "middle class" workers? Do they pay less taxes? What you ask is a non sequitur - it is a question that presumes you already know the answer, when, in fact, it is based on a false assertion.
So, in the interest of honesty, let's look at Trump's tax proposals.
Rule no. 1 - when you deal in percentages, the more of the baseline, the more the percentage equals.
In other words, if I cut taxes 15% across the board, those who have more money in the game will naturally receive a larger dollar amount, while maintaining the same percentage. Further, when the gov't eliminates "large dollar" deductions, those, obviously, affect those who can purchase those items more than it affects those who can't afford it.
In addition, look at what happens to your "ancillary tax load" when taxes are cut? What does your local sales tax go to? How much more are you paying in sales or state income taxes? I guarantee if the federal government gives a tax break, you will automatically see a new proposal for school tax increase. State and local governments are not motivated to also take less tax income - they're motivated to get a piece of your largess, as well.
It's interesting that you would say that tax cuts wouldn't stimulate the economy, considering the jump in consumer enthusiasm at just the PROMISE of tax cuts. Why do you think the DOW went over 20,000? Because of the potential of tax cuts and regulation rescission.
You wish to deal in hard dollars ... the same, trite, liberal talking points that a tax cut can't directly impact economic growth. A simple view ---- and the key word is 'simple'. Your so-called economists claim that tax rebates does not stimulate the economy. Of course, they always take the short view. The impact of invested money isn't felt for 5-7 years. Check your studies - bring me one that allows the invested taxes to work for 5-7 years, and then we can talk. Until them, "figures don't lie, but liars figure."
Trump's tax plan also includes adjusting the rate of taxation against repatriated money. This is tax dollars that will NEVER be created if the repatriation tax isn't decreased. Generating $300 billion in tax income obviously stimulates the economy.
Rich people aren't stupid. They know that lazy money has to be put to work in order to grow. They know that you work hard for your money - and they know that their money works hard for them. It is nonsensical to believe that money returned to the taxpayer, at whatever level, doesn't have a positive impact on the economy. You spend your money on a new tv - they put it into an investment, a bank, or a financial product.
We haven't even addressed the other half of the equation - less income means less spending (or, at least, it's supposed to). The liberal government wonks don't like that - they just want to put it on the credit card to be paid 'someday'. The most impressive part of Trump's proposals is the proposed 20% cut in manpower, hiring freeze, and 10% mandated cut in budget.
We probably aren't going to see the positive impacts of his proposals - after all, we're $20 trillion in the hole. But, at least, we are going to stop digging.
Now - see how easy that was?
What other GOP policy or procedure would you like to talk about?
