Democrats struggle with rising popularity of GOP tax law

[NYcarbineer]

Why is it your own money if the government has to borrow it to give it to you?

That's backwards thinking. The government dosn't have to borro

Tax rates are down over the last forty years. It was supposed to benefit us all. It didn't transpire. Instead we are worse off. Why are we continuing the same failed ideology.

This is because spending has increased as well and noone accepts that there are mass inefficiencies. The most inefficiencies are found when someone operates with someone elses money, unless the public understands the economics of the situation, it will not improve.

At least Trump is trying to bring some sanity back, he is facing heavy resistance from those who are used to doing things "the old way". Not sustainable, and China is just waiting to pounce I assure you.

I'm like Churchill who warned the British about Germany and people scoffed at him. he knew that one day England would pay the Piper. I'm telling you, if American falters, China is going to be the greatest threat the world has ever seen.

Trump is making matters worse. 1. Signs a budget busting tax bill 2. Supports a budget busting spending bill.

I don't like Trump's spending either. But then again, he never claimed to be a 'Fiscal Conservative.' In the end, Politicians love spending other peoples' money. So i'll try to keep more of my own money whenever possible. I can spend it much more responsibly.

It's irresponsible right off the top for you to want to keep your money and not pay for the government you're getting, so you can't claim to be responsible.

The government I'm getting fucks me up the ass, so how is not wanting to pay for it "irresponsible?"

You're a US citizen. If you don't want the responsibilities that come with that, leave.

lol, or refuse to pay your taxes, see how that works out for you.

Very hard to get through to Useful Idiots. That's why Lenin said he needed to create an army of millions of em. For them it's only about the Government. They always blame Taxpayers. But the Taxpayers live up to their responsibilities. They dutifully stand by and watch portions of their paychecks confiscated by Government.

The People have no control over how Government spends the money. The $21 Trillion Debt is all on Government. It hauls in record tax revenue annually. The Taxpayers have fulfilled their end of the bargain. So it's time to give them a break, and time for Government to balance its budget.

Our government is composed of elected representatives, a good example of which is Trump who perpetrated this budget busting tax cut.

Good on em. About time the folks start keeping more of their hard earned money. Why send more to Government at this point? That would be so unwise and illogical.

Communists/Democrats can't stand the idea of folks keeping more of their own money. They believe that money belongs to Government. Always remember, the last thing the Democratic Party wants, is a happy prosperous populace. They need more folks in poverty and solely dependent on Government.

That's rich. Do you think the higher taxes were for some sort of level of "control" by citizens? I'm not sure I've heard this one before so I will await for you to enlighten me.

Especially, when you consider, all of these increased tax rates meant nothing as debt has increased greatly. So, former governments took more from it's citizens and borrowed more on their behalf and that of future generations because they didn't have enough money. Rand Paul called out some of these boondoggles, only a fraction.

Public infrastructure.

Trump is going to make matters way worse. He is going to raise the debt and at the same time give away the public commons. These idiots won't realize what happened until it's too late. Then they will try to find another clown worse than this one to save them. Wash rinse repeat.

What the hell do you mean by "the public commons?"

Public infrastructure.

You're misunderstanding terminology. They're allowing people to keep more of what they earn. That's not "giving" them anything. It's our money because we earned it. The government did not. Is that clear now?

Keeping more of your own money doesn't = 'government giving it to you.'

You just believe that because you're an indoctrinated 'Useful Idiot.' You just don't know any better.

The government doesn't have your tax cut to give to you. It has to borrow the money. YOU owe 20 trillion, remember?

That's right, it doesn't have it and it never did. It was going to collect it, now it won't collect quite as much. the only reason they're borrowing more is they refuse to bring spending in line with revenue. Understand now?

You really don't think the government could ANY place to cut back, even a little? That's irresponsible.

How can this be? The tax cuts are just...... crumbs.........

Democrats are struggling to cope with the rising popularity of the Republican tax law, less than nine months until the midterm elections.

Democrats received a wake-up call of sorts earlier this week when Priorities USA, a top Democratic super PAC, released a memo calling on Democrats to message more consistently against the tax law. The law's standing has increased in the polls as GOP groups pitch the tax cuts to voters as a solid Republican accomplishment.

Democrats struggle with rising popularity of GOP tax law

Wait a second. You forgot to mention the healthcare subsidies that run out in October. That millions will lose healthcare and the costs will skyrocket for everyone else.

You think that for every dollar Americans get in taxes they won't notice the hundred they lose from higher healthcare costs?

Well, you can keep it up until October, weeks before the midterms. Then what? Republicans only policy was screw and trick the American people. How do you think they will like that when it's thrown into their faces?

What money did the government give me?

 

[DJT for Life]

The tax cuts were meant to get the final 20% of white, middle class voters, who had remained in the Democratic Party to switch over.

Those folks are not going to vote against their own paychecks in November

You own a home? With a mortgage? A car? With payments?

Try stopping those payments and keeping more of 'your own money' and see what happens to your house and car.

The money that ought to be paying for the government you're getting.

 

[NYcarbineer]

If it's all 'your money',

why tax at all? Why don't we just lower taxes to zero, borrow 100% of the 4 trillion a year or whatever the number is that our government costs,

and all live fat and happy for ever after?

The reality is politically it harms the left because just as it is difficult to withdraw entitlements once a population becomes dependent on them, it is just as difficult to increase taxes. Also, any promises they make, the GOP will say "you can't do that unless you cut from somewhere else, so how much are you going to raise taxes on our hard working citizens to pay for this!?"

Free market principles are the enemy to socialists. I think the middle of the ground Democrat likes these tax cuts, but they were too proud to vote for them so even they can't piggyback off their success. The alt-left absolutely and ideologically despise tax cuts and citizen independence.

We have been living with neo-liberal policies for close to 40 years. Where is all of this so called success? We have successfully handed complete control of our government to business interests. Next will be the commons. That isn't freedom, citizen independence is a farce. Conservative are hapless dupes.

That's because you don't actually own the house or car until you finish paying for it. By contrast, I actually own the money I earn, then the government takes some of it from me. The government didn't earn that money, I didn't borrow it and need to pay it back. I earned it.

Yeah, I mean, did Democrats think that people would not notice a big jump in their take-home pay?! Seriously, what were Dems thinking when they decided to tell people that they would get "almost nothing" and "crumbs" from the tax cuts?

So we don't owe the money represented by our national debt?

Are you insane?
