Since the military needs to be taken care of better and it's really one of the only things the federal government should be doing in the first place is that complaint very far off?
We must keep in mind that, thanks to the Bush tax cuts, we have about 40-45% of taxpayers who have no federal tax liability. They either do not pay any federal income taxes, or they get back what they pay, or they get back more than they pay (because of the Earned Income Tax Credit). So how do you "cut" someone's taxes when they already have no federal income tax liability after all is said and done?
When you don't earn enough to pay taxes that is what happens.
Gotcha, half the country is in poverty and can't pay taxes. Ssssuuurrreeeee they are ...
No, half the country doesn't make enough money to pay taxes.
Stop bitching your CEO comrades aren't getting a huge tax cuts.Hopefully the same thing that happens when a new entitlement program only gives some people an entitlement.

I got a great tax cut. Also was just informed we are getting an unplanned bonus next month. Thanks president Trump!
The gop's central tenants were you can't give lower earners a bigger % cut than upper and only people who make enough to pay income tax deserve a tax cut. I thought that was morally, intellectually and policy wise wrong. And that's one reason I don't see voting for a goper in my future.from the article!
For example, the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center has estimated that people with incomes between $48,600 and $86,100 will, on average, receive a tax cut of $930 for 2018, which is around $35 per pay period if divided equally among 26 pay periods. The group said that people with income of below $25,000 will, on average, get a tax cut of only $60 over the course of the whole year.
“The tax bill just doesn’t provide much benefit to most people,” said Vanessa Williamson, a fellow in governance studies at the Brookings Institution.
Of course, I have similar misgivings over Obamacare. But imo that was well-intentioned and it was possibly cureable.
would a fiscal conservative give taxcuts when economy was doing well instead of trying to cut our overspending?how much in 2017 or the 2 trillion on gwb's bs war count?If Hillary had won Dem's had every intention of raising your taxes.
No doubt.
I used to worry about the debt and deficits but I don't anymore. Quite frankly I don't care about them at all. No one in government cares either. All I care about now is keeping as much of my own money as possible
Government wastes our money and there's zero accountability. In 2016 alone they lost nearly $400 billion to government waste and fraud.
DO NOT confuse lying POS GOP RINO's with fiscal conservatives. I was one of the first and few to call president Bush claim that the Iraq war would only cost $70 billion and we'd get paid back in oil BULL SHIT.
Did you ever wonder in that empty head of yours why when the tax rates were higher we STILL had to borrow 1.5 trillion per year? Did you ever wonder why that was? Or are you new to this whole over spending by politicians debate?
Oh, yeah....I wondered.......But had you graduated from junior high, you too would know that under this tax scam the borrowing DOUBLED than the usual borrowing with the old tax rates......
Please list 10 or so conglomerates who actually PAID the statutory "high" tax rate........Go on.....lol
But whining about the lower tax rates being the cause while they still borrowed at the same rate with the higher rates is retarded
Don;t be an idiot.....Realize that the usual borrowing has just DOUBLED because of the tax scam. Surely a grown up can explain it to you.
About as stupid as the Repubs who say you hate your country and veterans if you want to cut military spending.
Well, when you want to cut defense spending down to dangerously low levels, so low that equipment and vital weapons systems cannot be properly maintained, yeah, some people wonder about your motives.
FYI; If you are making less than $23.50/hr, you are underpaid.
Which is why we have less revenue to pay our bills.
Also, giving a tax break to corporations who pay 3%+/- of their revenue in all taxes was a VERY STUPID idea.
Sigh. . . . The only corporations that would end up paying so little in taxes would be those that had suffered huge losses in some of their major operations or that dealt heavily in real estate (where there are large tax breaks in recognition of the risk and capital involved).
Lowering the corporate income tax rate and setting up a special repatriation tax rate were brilliant moves that are luring hundreds of billions of American dollars parked overseas to come back to the U.S.
Business gets to fully deduct the cost of doing business thus reducing their tax liability.
The vast majority of the repatriated monies will never see the light of day, ie; the economy.

If you knew anything about economics, you would know that corporations do not pay taxes, have never paid taxes, and will never pay taxes. Your politicians know this, why don't you?
Every dollar in taxes paid by corporations to local, state, and federal government is collected from consumers in the form of higher prices for goods and services. Politicians use corporations and other businesses to collect these hidden taxes on individual consumers.
Cutting corporate taxes was the gold. Individual tax cuts were just smoke and mirrors to make the country think they would see substantial benefits.Hopefully the same thing that happens when a new entitlement program only gives some people an entitlement.

You want to know how much that big republican tax cut means to me in reality dollars?
$27.
I have a real job. What we need, is a real government.Maybe you should get a REAL job.
