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

[Markle]

Revenues increased because we were printing billions of dollars.

Your ignorance on this subject is shocking.

But, keep up the good work!

You're not aware that we had virtually no inflation during the Trump years and it is running rampant since Biden took office, are you not?

colfax_m also thinks a projection from a lefty outfit for 2025 shows the tax cut "was terrific for some".

What a clown.

I liked my tax cut. Wish it were still here. If dumbass didn't like his he could give it back. The Government would take it. No problem. What a maroon.

The level of ignorance and stupidity in the conservatives on this board shows the depths to which your nation has sunk. What's most laughable is your lament that you think your tax cut no longer exists.

Nobody has taken your tax cut away, Clueless Claudette. It's still there.

And you call others "maroons".

If you wish to address what I said, great. If not, I understand.

Revenues increased.

Stop spending.

Revenues increased because the corporations brought home capital from overseas and paid a 10% tax on it. It was a one time payment, not be repeated. Overall revenues are way down, and the deficit is out of control.

The larger question is, why are you constantly making a fool of yourself by attack my posts? You seem to be obsessed with me. You never refute anything I post, you simply insult me, again and again, like a lovestruck school boy. You're not my type.

I posted what the tax savings were for someone making $40,000 per year and what they are for those making $500,000, after googling the tax rates. What does that have to do with you.

Glad you finally agree. By lowering taxes, money came home from overseas and revenues were INCREASED.

This is called pragmatism. It is a foreign concept to touchy, feely Democrats.

That drone you're hearing? Overlapping sounds of liberals changing la-la-la-la-la in hopes of drowning out inconvenient reality.

You must have patience my little lemming. Tax cuts increase revenue in the long term as the economy flourishes and there is more taxale revenue. Conversely, tax hikes create a short lived rise in revenue followed by a decrease as the economy downturns and there is less taxable revenue resilting in yet another call for tax hikes. It is organic growth versus inorganic growth. Democrats are short-sighted thinkers if they actually think at all.

Why do you think you can spew lies like this without getting exposed as the lying sack of KKKanadian shit you are Dragonlady

YOU are the one who constantly makes a fool of yourself with all your lies.

I fail to see what point you're making. The repatriation tax was levied on billions of dollars which have been sitting offshore. The increase in revenue is due to the increase in the numbers of people working, and the increase in population.

Added to which is that Trump's tax cut was accompanied by a massive increase in spending. Taxes paid on the increased spending also increase revenues. If Trump's hadn't increased spending concurrent with the tax cuts, would revenue have gone up?

What is critical is that tax cuts have NEVER paid for themselves.

Take a look at the Bush Tax cuts. Bush gets a balanced budge and cut taxes. Revenues drop by $4 trillion.

FY 2004	$1.88 trillion
FY 2003	$1.78 trillion
FY 2002	$1.85 trillion
FY 2001	$1.99 trillion
FY 2000	$2.03 trillion

You own numbers show you are a lying sack of shit.

And Bush cut taxes in 2001 and 2003, so once they kicked in revenues were rising.

FY 2008	$2.52 trillion
FY 2007	$2.57 trillion
FY 2006	$2.41 trillion
FY 2005	$2.15 trillion
FY 2004	$1.88 trillion
FY 2003	$1.78 trillion

Never enough to cover the cost of tax cuts.

There is no free lunch. The Laffer curve is a myth conservatives tell themselves to justify cuts and deficits.

What is "the cost of tax cuts"? Letting someone keep more of the money they make isn't a "cost" to the government, unless you think all money belongs to the goverment.

Once again you make zero sense.

Wrong. There is enough to cover the cost of the cuts long term. Obviously, it depends on the size of the cuts, but it is utterly laughable to think that raising taxes is the answer to continue to cover out-of-control spending. It is a dead-end road.

Sorry, but Art Laffer is infinitely more informed on economics than you.

This is all blind faith, not backed by data at all.

I mean, we’ve been going hard at tax cuts since Reagan and where has it gotten us? Deeper debt and waning GDP growth. Trump couldn’t even break 3%.

Revenues go up after tax cuts are implemented. Our problem is spending.
