    The left has to decide what they stand for.

    Do they want illegals or a better life for African Americans since illegals disproportionatey take opportunities away from afRican americans.

    Are they pro feminist and gay rights or will they allow more and more Muslims in this country and become like Europe.

    The way I see it a large portion of the left doesn't have their own stances. Their stance is to be against what thenrepublicans/conservatives stand for.

    Where have I heard that before? Great talking point. What do tax cuts do for those that provide jobs?

    It's a joke of a system we have.

    We need a 3rd party in the worst way
    We need five or six parties.

    Enriches them, and not their employees. Studies show tax-cut windfall disproportionately is saved (or self re-invested, to phrase it more accurately), not spent (hence: trickle-down is a farce).

    Now if we could just stop funding and arming Israel and Saudi Arabia ...

    Trump also wants tax cuts for ALL Americans... but that never gets talked about.

    So if tax cuts enrich rich people, I would assume they would have the same effect for non-rich people?

    And companies with lower taxes can hire more people, invest in new technology, or reward shareholders with buybacks or dividends.

    Oh, the horror!

    One step at a time. Do you applaud the President for this action?

    I don't believe it needs to be fair. All I know is that I end up getting higher percentage raises. My company expands which provides more room for growth via a promotion.

    The few and rich don't depend on the services that tax-cuts defund. Everyone else does. Cutting lower-middle classes taxes just so they can pay more for things that were previously subsidized or freely available is not a net benefit.

    I, on the other hand, believe in fairness, and think that's more important than whether I personally "end up getting higher percentage raises".

    Getting a higher raise because you perform a higher level is the definition of fairness

    Subsidized make things more expensive.

    I don't see how putting more money in the hands of people is a bad thing... especially when it was money that they earned, and is theirs, before it's confiscated for services that mostly inefficient and unnecessary

    Everyone understand's this but they can't talk about it or else the dem base might realize voting for higher taxes negatively impacts them.
