The Trump Tax Cut: Even Worse Than You’ve Heard

Mr Person said:
You really do only look at the name of the thread and who started it. If it mentions Trump and is negative, you just have to show up and rip a loud one. You never read the thread or the link, and if you had you certainly wouldn't have even understood his most basic first point about balance sheets and the irrelevance of transfers between subsidiaries and parent companies in this context.

Do you actually think you're scoring an Internet Point when you crap out meaningless drivel that's supposed to sound like a rejection of the thread?

Do you honestly think anyone gives even one millionth of a **** about the fact that Mycroft yet again said some inane bull**** to try to derail it?

You might find a mirror and read the about paragraph aloud while looking at yourself in it.


Mr Person said:
Well, you made your noise anyway. Krugman is right. I was right. We were right. This was a stupid tax cut that simply would not and did not and will not do what Trump promised. To the extent that anyone in the middle or upper class got a little tiny piece of the action, they're going to end up paying for it many times over down the road. Meanwhile, the people who benefitted the most will pay the least for it. Thanks to all the massive patchwork of intended loopholes, unintended loopholes, cheats, and all the many things a rich person can do to avoid taxes that someone less well off cannot do, our tax system is overall pretty damn regressive.

But don't worry, I'm well aware that conservatives generally consider highly regressive tax systems to be optimal. Well, maybe they claim they don't, but the people they always end up voting for anyway do.

Second half for the benefit of anyone else who might actually want to talk about the tax cuts, rather than wanting to fart at people who are saying negative things about the tax cuts.

Krugman badmouths Trump, you guys turn into bobblehead dolls nodding mindlessly in agreement. Job growth, increased corporate income tax review, half a million new manufacturing jobs created, Wage growth, but no Trump's plan didn't work at all. And I'm sure if Krugman was honest with us he'd say that it takes more than a year for most economic actions to take full effect - but he's NOT honest.

Repeal it? Probably not - invoke the classic loony "make rich people pay their fair share" bull****, definitely. Raise taxes on corporations - without doubt.

I don't think so. Raising taxation to simply pay for the (huge?) federal government that we already have or to pay down the (huge?) debt which it has already amassed is not the "progressive" mission (or even the "conservative" mission, for that matter). Any proposed increase in federal taxation will be coupled with an even larger increase in the power and expense of the federal government - wait and see.

LOL! Falsely labeling him 'one of the most extreme left wing economists' is no substitute for thinking.

Except it isn't false labeling. It's 100% correct.

Well of course. Dems never raise revenues to pay down debt, they raise it so they can hand out more free stuff.

Except that's laughably false, you cannot demonstrate that it's accurate and your utterly unable to actually address the points he made.

Have some womp womp. You'll feel better.

Except I did address the points he made and have done so several times. He's says it's not working I listed many proofs that show exactly what was supposed to happen is indeed happening - more revenues, more jobs, rejuvenating manufacturing sector, improved minority employment, wage growth. No one said it was going to work miracles and be done in one year.

Under Trump and with a republicant majority in in congress, federal income taxation rates were lowered while federal spending and the federal deficit were increased - it must be those evil demorats fault. Please stop drinking that partisan Koolaid.

Taxation rates were lowered THIS year and the FISCAL YEAR ended with record revenue. And the first two months of THIS FISCAL YEAR were higher than LAST year's first two months under HIGHER rates. SPENDING continues to be the bugaboo of growing deficits.

LOL Those were all already happening.

Not really all the surprised you'd have to run the the asinine claims that he's 'extreme far left'.

Sure, they were. your Dear Leader cleverly allowed the economy to gasp along for eight years for fun. Then he got serious AFTER HE LEFT OFFICE and made it all better. :roll:

Not asinine at all. Iron-clad fact.

Newp. Just more of your reality denying self-delusion to avoid having to face the fact that your god, Donnie Twump, is an incompetent baffoon who's simply incapable of of improving the economy w/out surfing a wave that was already there before him.

Pity you can't back up that asinine claim of yours and are forced to run from it.

McConnel has already said he won’t bring ANY funding bill that doesn’t have Trumps approval beforehand. Therefore no, people in the senate won’t be on record voting on funding because Trumps turtle McConnel won’t let it happen.

Well, if a bill has 2/3 of the senate, he wouldn't need the prez's sig. How's he going to know unless he brings it to the floor for a vote?

So, ultimately, McConnell is the one responsible for nothing getting done.

Yeah, sure, go sing yourself to sleep with your cute little nursery rhymes.
 
Paukl Krugman is a hyperpartisan Democrat. Can we expect him to analyze anything Republican as an economist?

Of course not.
