The fact that Wells Fargo employees will make more money starting today does not make me sad or upset. I'm not against businesses prospering and helping communities and employees, regardless of what the impetus for the success was. At this point I have a lot of concerns regarding the environment and the lower class. Why the **** would I also want the economy to suffer?
    I'm sorry man but the true believers in leftist ideology do not want this to happen. I believe there is a huge groundswell among the youth in this country to move to a communist style of government which is a danger to us all so yes I will cheer on days like this. The more we can push the worst ideology in the history of the world out of this tcountry the better.

    You are an idiot.

    But if there is any movement in that direction, it comes from actions like this tax bill.

When you factor in the amount of taxpayer money used to pay off the victims of crimes by the police we are paying around 400k per officer. That's like 10 times too much.

    The EU is not a fan of this tax policy. Makes me like it even more now.

    Young people now support socialism more than capitalism for the first time in this country.

    The indoctrination has worked. Congrats

    Which is the whole point of growing the economy in order to grow revenue. I believe the number is every 1% of GDP growth is worth trillions to deficit reduction.

    Figured it was this. Yup - All this money goes right back into the economy. The left is running scared right now. Russia collusion is a dead end. Real wage/earnings growth happening. Unemployment levels for minorities sinking to record lows. And now tax reform is proving to let companies pay more and grow.

    Its about as bad as the left could have hoped. If this momentum continues for another 6 months the mid term elections are going to be great for the right.

    I have to admit, the Tax Bill is already having an effect.
    During my commute this morning I saw a sign on one McDonalds saying "Now Hiring."

    This is amazing

    I know you're being dumb, but anecdotally I've been amazed by how many businesses I see with now hiring signs up

    But, watch for this to be listed on economic impact numbers as *caused* by the Braves in the future. Perhaps some credit is due, but this is culmination of plan put into action by Marietta, not Cobb, before Braves were mentioned.


    It is no accident this was announced on the heels of the Tax Bill
    Right Sturg ?
