"Crumbs" My Foot! Got My First Paycheck Under the Trump Tax Cuts!

[mikegriffith1]

don't get used to it.

unlike the corporate tax cuts, it goes bye-bye in 2025

Only if democrats keep hating the middle class....IF they are smart they will come up with 8 votes and make it permanent.

When the deficit grows even more than the Repubs claimed it would, neither side will be all that hip on making them permanent.

Have you see how fast it's going down?
648 billion

The deficit in 2014 was 485 billion
In 2015 it was 438 billion
In 2016 it was 585.

I make a living doing math and I can assure you that each of those is less than 648 (or the 666 that I saw reported)

Defict was 666 at the end of last year.
We'll see what it is at the end of this year.
Right now it's 648 and going down.

So, according to liberals here, running huge deficits and piling up $7.9 trillion in new debt in 8 years was fine because it was done to grow the government. But if we run a deficit because we're letting people keep more of their money, that's . . . bad. Huh?

Besides, every major tax cut since the early 1900s has been followed by an INCREASE in federal revenue. It is amazing that liberals here refuse to admit this fact, even though it has been documented for them dozens of times.

trump and the congress piled up 1.5 trillion in 10 months

you don't seem to have a problem with that because you're getting enough crumbs to buy a pizza and a six pack and you think you've hit the big time.

Today I got my first paycheck under the Trump tax cuts, and, thanks to those cuts, I got an extra $110 in net pay for the last two weeks, which means my monthly net pay is now $220 higher than it was before! Now, maybe to multimillionaire Nancy Pelosi, an extra $220 per month is "crumbs," but to me and my family, that is real, meaningful money.

No, Nancy, I am not rich. My net worth is a fraction of yours (as of last year, Nancy, your net worth was said to be around $195,000,000). My salary probably equals less than what you and your rich husband get just from the interest on your investments and savings accounts each year. I am in the bottom half of the third tax bracket, which means I am in the middle class.

Of course, I'm sure some Marxist liberals will argue that the middle class stops at $60K or $70K per year, but that is nonsense. Most mid-level federal workers, like GS-9s or Band 3s, make more than $70K per year. Many teachers make more than $60K or $70K--indeed, the average salary for high-school teachers in my state of Virginia is $61K, and in New York state, the average salary for elementary-school teachers is $72K. Many firemen and policemen make more than $70K per year. They're not middle class?

Anyway, my wife and I are thrilled with this large boost in net pay. We will definitely put it to good use.

Great. Only three more months and you can get some new tires.

Does that mean he will earn the money to afford the tires? What exactly is bad about that?

I didn't say it was bad. Just crumbs.

More of why Trump won. You guys are the gift that keeps on giving.

There are 3 kinds of people on here. There are the folks like you that whined for 8 years about deficits and now do not give a shit. Then there are the folks that did not give a shit for 8 and are whining now. Then there are those of us in the middle that care no matter who is sitting in the White House.

This is such a bullshit stat. Unless we are in a recession Fed revenues increase whether there is tax cut or not. There is zero correlation between tax cuts and an increase in Fed reveune

 

[peach174]

Well were at 3.3 trillion for Fed revenue right now and we still have 2 1/2 months to go for filing,

It always goes down a little bit this time of the year due to a temp increase in revenue due to tax filing. Come talk to me at the end of the year and see if we are under 500 billion

93,000 Jobs Were Outsourced Under Trump, Most in Years


The GOP tax law unintentionally created the potential for a huge disaster if Congress doesn't act

Well that's if they get the budget passed this year.
Dems in the Senate will try to block it.

Good lord!!
Parts of This country are so soft because of political correctness.

yeah, sick days are part of political correctness? Fuck you are one dumb MoFo. It is painfully obvious you don't actually have any employees.

Actually I do have, and I expect shit to get done no excuses. If there wasn’t deadlines nothing would get done.
Before I was self-employed, I was The Night Manager for 3 1/2 years for a 24 hour grocery store Never used one single sick day.
And I heard every excuse in the book by people I managed… Work is a privilege not a right

And if I had a deadline today or tomorrow I would have met it, I never miss a deadline. But if you do not suck at your job you do not need every last second to meet a deadline, there should be some wiggle room.

I know all about working when sick, did it for many a year, and now I have progressed to where I do not have to. That is part of the reward for not being a one of the masses.

Before this job I was a Shift manager at a 24 hour WalMart. I treated my associast like human being and not slaves and the work got done faster and with less errors.

Being a dick for a boss is not something to brag about, but you will never grasp that as it is beyond your intelligence level.

Even in the Marines I treated my troops like humans and not maggots, and the loyalty they gave in exchange showed it was the way to do things.

But cavemen will never be able to move past the 1950s

Well, Friends do not make the coworkers. People are there to work not to socialize

 

[peach174]

Trumpka?

Of coarse he's going to paint it bad.
He's a union leader.

 

[Rustic]

California will fix the damage done by less federal taxes by having a state tax surcharge. That's the Democrat plan. I hope that's what they run on.

California is one of the states that already receive less in federal dollars than they pay in. That inequity just grew significantly.

Best to worst states to raise a family...

So other words the federal government fucks this country at every turn

 

[Papageorgio]

I’m glad people are keeping more of their money. The best thing for this country long term, is to raise taxes and cut the federal budget by 25%. You won’t find one Democrat or Republican that will have the guts to even put forth a bill.

I can't wait until the "PAYGO" law kicks in. They will have cut spending & increase revenue. The "Debt Ceiling" will be hit soon & cause another Government Shutdown!

What most Dems don't realize in their frenzied, irrational reaction to the Trump tax cuts, is that the tax-cut legislation actually created new revenue streams. It:

* Ended the ability of American companies to park money overseas to avoid paying the U.S. corporate income tax rate. It cut that rate from 35% to 21% and created a one-time special repatriation rate of 15.5%.These two provisions will bring in hundreds of billions of dollars in new revenue that the government would not otherwise be getting. (You'd think liberals would cheer these provisions, but the vast majority of liberals don't know about them because they are ignorant about the tax-cut legislation.)

* Ended the graduated scale of the corporate tax rate. Now it's a flat 21% for all companies big and small.

* Ended the ability of rich people to deduct all of their state and local taxes and mortgage interest. It caps SALT deductions at $10K, and ends the mortgage interest deduction for homes valued at over $750K. This will save the Treasury tens of billions of dollars. (Here, too, you'd think liberals would be pleased, but, suddenly, now they care about how much rich people pay in state and local taxes and in mortgage interest!)

Fiscal solvency has absolutely nothing to do whether or not the residents of a state pay more in federal taxes than the state gets back in federal spending.
