    How much of a tax cut do you think the poorest people referenced here should have received?

    BTW, Obamacare is polling better than tax reform . Tax bill approve = 39%
    Obamacare = 50%



    Any reason your question centered on what "the poorest people referenced here should have received?"

    Hey kids. I'm in my 60s. You've never lived in an America where the rich paid their fair share. I have. Let me tell you what that was like:
    * We built new schools
    * We built new highways
    * We cut the poverty rate
    * We lead the world in technology
    * WE WENT TO THE ****ING MOON

    That 10% of people carry the tax burden for the rest of the country.

    Half the country pays nothing yet gets the same benefits and opportunity as everyone else.

    Not sure how you can lay claim to "fair share" argument but the left knows no bounds to stupidity so have at it.

    Speaking of stupidity, that dumb tweet 57 thought was brilliant doesn't recognize that we spend more money today than we did ever in his lifetime. So his disattisfaction with the results speaks more to government failure than "fair share" nonsense

    But emotion works with your base so keep no it up

    My team reviewed the shareholder calls from 10 of the largest pharma companies—not one

    said they'd use their windfall from Trump's tax cuts to lower drug prices.

    Instead they announced billions in stock buybacks. It's unacceptable.

    Gosh, if only every credible economic analysis beforehand had suggested as much.

    57, any theories?

    I remember the days where 57 railed against potentially taking away the 401k tax deduction because these middle to poor income households would never be able to save.

    How are those portfolios looking under this administration? I guess you can say that this administration has done more to better the lives of the poor and middle class than the ones prior.

    Is that right logic based on your earlier contention?
