What's the scariest thing about the tax reform for you Lefties?

[hadit]

Are you genuinely concerned about the national debt?
Will it translate to less free shit for bottom feeders?
Less free shit for illegal Mexicans?
This is a serious question....what has you most concerned? Why not be happy for your fellow Americans that will benefit? Why is that so far-fetched for you?

The one foreign idea to all the Leftards here is that a tax cut is merely letting others keep money that was theirs to begin with! I mean: IT'S THEIR MONEY! While the GOP has raised more national debt over the years until Obama came along, Trump is perhaps proving that he's not a cookie cutter republican. Bottom line is that leaving money in the hands of its people does far more good for the economy because much more of it goes TO the economy; with the government, they are lucky if 10% makes it to the economy, often picked in the worst way, the other 90% lost to government theft, waste and corruption.

THE REAL ISSUE HERE isn't the need to boost taxes to feed the fat, bloated government, it is the need of a fat, bloated government to trim itself to fit our economy! Trump's cutting our taxes is but yet one more step in choking off the massively inflated and self-important federal fat cats.

Hey , why not have zero taxes ! The gov can run on smiles and sunshine !

Reality check . The gov needs money to run. You think those jet flyovers over football games are free? We also have a big debt that needs to be addressed .

How about we address spending and pay stuff off at the same time ?

Because that's not how government works. Lefties especially love to simply jack up spending any time there's more money available. The LAST thing they'll do is target the debt.

And what do righties do ? Campaign about how the debt is the greatest threat to our country!

It is a threat. Democrats simply ignore it and screech bloody murder at any attempt to address it at all.

Repubs control everything and it appears the Debt will be the last thing they address...

And every time democrats control the purse strings they develop amnesia about the whole thing. "Debt? What's that?"

Repubs have controlled the purse strings for how many years now? And the debt keeps increasing.

Liberals are scared of the tax cuts because of one thing:

The Realities of Economics!

This tax reform is the resurrection of supply-side/trickle-down economics, which have repeatedly been tried and repeatedly failed. It failed when Hoover did it, it failed when Reagan did and it failed when G.W. Bush did it. Reagan counterbalanced and camouflaged the failure by ballooning the deficit and pouring billions into the military industrial complex - a very Keynesian way of responding to the failure he caused. The 'trickle-down' part never happened at all.

Here's why supply-side doesn't work:

People hate risk!

Investments are rated as a balance of risk vs. potential profitability. As taxes are reduced, profitability effective increases. This means that investors will opt for lower risk investments - they can achieve their profit goals while accepting less risk. However, higher risk investments are the type that creates jobs and in many cases whole new industries. Low risk investments are in steady-state, low growth industries.

So despite the fact that lower taxes make it possible for investors to create economic growth, the reality is that they do not need to create economic growth - they opt to invest in lower risk investments - and the economy goes into a downward spiral.

History has shown that during periods of high taxation there is high economic growth. That's because investors MUST invest in higher risk venture in order to meet their profit goals.

Of course, MOST wealthy investors WANT lower risk investments with the higher effective profitability. They could care less about the economy as a whole or the state of average working Americans.

That's why they continue to push the BIG LIE called supply-side economics.

When did you stop caring about the deficits and the debt, or did you ever?

It’s too late worry about the debt, we pasted the point of no return several decades ago. Jackass
That’s what socialism does it passes debt and responsibility on to the next generation...

In combination with which congresses?

Probably wh a counter confess . Typical that most full control congress /WH is short lived .

 

[Manonthestreet]

Yes we are concerned about the debt . The economy is doing well, how’s when you should address the debt .

Obama had to deal wh a depression which calls for more gov services and less gov revenues . We now have the opposite.

What happened to the gop fiscal responsibility? The irony , trump signs a big tax cut the day before the government ran out money . The Gop is a fraud .

Obama hauled in record revenue for several yrs

Exactly. A counter Congress has incentive to hold the line on spending, little as it is.

Yeah, I'm concerned about the debt. It always amazes me how Republicans are all about the debt and fiscal restraint. That is, until they get into power. Then the sky is the limit. And they couple this with tax cuts. So, spend more money and take less money in. Just put it on the maxed out national credit card. And somehow, that is supposed to lower the debt.

As far as illegals, I really couldn't care less. They shouldn't be receiving any government services anyway. Send them packing back where they came from. I know too many people who came here legally and went through all the hoops to become naturalized citizens.

The "bottom feeders" as you put it? There are lots of jobs that need to be filled. Put a cap on benefits and offer job training. If they can't find work, put them to work in community service type jobs. Trash needs to be picked up, buildings painted, etc.

What concerns me is that the Republicans, having given all these huge tax cuts to the already wealthy, will now claim there isn't any money, so let's go and gut Social Security and Medicare. Let em all die, fucking leeches.

Why should I be happy for the Paris Hilton class? They do nothing worthwhile, yet they continue to reap all the benefits of these tax policies. My tax savings might pay my mortgage for a month. A rich person will probably be able to go buy another yacht.

I thought it was all BS ???

You can see the downturn . Trump has the benefit of a booming economy. He could actually level off deficit spending with this set up. But nooooo.
