Tax Bill

[sturg33]

Me wanting to keep more of the.money I earn makes.me no different than a person who sells sex and hearsay secrets for money?

I think y'all lost your mind

[sturg33]

and you,
How are you different from Stormy Daniels ?

Like I said, you've lost your mind

Except she got $130K up front - and yours is promised

No, mine is the law... and I'm not getting paid... I'm keeping more of what is mine

That is the rub, what promises of Trump have ever worked out?

I remember him promising he would win the Presidency

Pelosi made a lot of comments in 2011 - she was Speaker of the House

She said less than $3 a day was a big victory... today they are crumbs... kinda echos your thoughts. Bad look
.................................................. .....................

Is this the narrative ?
Like I said, a tax bill's historical seat , plus or minus, is judged by years and/or generations.
Not before they go into effect.

That's true.. but what's to complain about so far? Only good news and frankly, unexpected news faster than I would I have thought

Right now you are running on a Donald Trump promise

No... I'm running on the law... And I'm running on private corps doing more good for people than the government.

For $3 a day, for a family in Flint Michigan? they can buy 2 bottles of water

$3 per day in Puerto Rico -- what does that buy

It buys them more than it could yesterday. I don't know too many middle class families that would scoff at having an extra $90 a month.

But let's keep ignoring those min wage hikes you've been begging for, for years

[57Brave]

why would you think otherwise ?
Because what you do is "honorable"

Much to learn Grasshopper

[thethe]

Why push so hard for minimum wage increase? Relative crumbs as well some would say.

[sturg33]

I would say that

- having an affair with a married man

- then getting paid a **** ton of money to keep quiet about it

- then not keeping quiet about it

doesn't qualify as honorable...

But I'm sure she's the latest of hero of the left. I guess she's better than the antifa heroes at least

[57Brave]

Like I said, you've lost your mind



No, mine is the law... and I'm not getting paid... I'm keeping more of what is mine
Guess one could argue MS Daniels was keeping what was hers too



I remember him promising he would win the Presidency
Kinda like he knew the outcome before ... is that really the promise he kept you want to use ?



She said less than $3 a day was a big victory... today they are crumbs... kinda echos your thoughts. Bad look
Yes a guaranteed $3 per day is far different than a one off or a non binding. Hope you see that difference

Good news ?
Bird in hand better than two in bush ?

Private coorps don't have the best interests of people. Grasshopper

Hows bouts on a grand scale we invest in that (those) city. Where the good not only happens at a better,longer lasting rate (rebuilt infrastructure) but guarantees all people have drinking water.

But let's keep ignoring those min wage hikes you've been begging for, for years
These aren't binding minimum wage hikes and are there at the whim of corporate America.
That is hardly a minimum wage hike

You really should wait to see how this turns out

Apple took the tax cut and will create 20000 jobs PLUS pulling people from overseas back home. They are going to relocate to a tax friendly state which California is not one of them. The cut also have them put 85 bil into the US coffers.

ABC ran the story and the guy in charge directly said because of the tax cuts.

CNN and NBC nothing but crickets.

[AerchAngel]

I don't like using MSNBC, NBC, FOX or any other source but my favorite has it.

Words of a man who never had to struggle for money in his life. But for families that are struggling to put food on the table or figuring out ways to provide more enjoyment for their family these are deal breaker.

But don't worry...keep clutching those pearls.

i know you keep saying it

and you hope it's true

but it isn't

but hey, have fun with it

i guess you can be bought off for who you are as a person

enjoy the 30 pieces of silver

Actually - The tax bill on its own without consideration to the growth it is infusing into the economy put me in a worse position. So with that being said I am still for it because while I don't personally benefit from its direct changes I know its better for the country as a whole.

y'all really want to play that game?

Should be fun to watch the business flight from California if they do this.

[sturg33]

Gosh I hope they do this

[Jaw]

Should be fun to watch the business flight from California if they do this.

It will be interesting to see who votes against this so we can find out exactly how many adults are left in California government.

I cant shake the feling this tax bill is a PR shell game:

Overseas cash held by Apple is neither cash nor overseas;

“bringing it home” has no impact on funds available

for investment in the United States.

This is false. Do you understand immediate expensING of capital expenditures?

No. He doesn't. And apparently neither does Yglesias

One thing that has come out after this tax legislation is the clear Financial illiteracy on the left
