SS: Republicans Continue Robbing From the Poor

When are you going to wake up?
fact is the only people that are doing better now then they did before the Trump tax cut are the rich, people who have money to invest in the stock market, NOT the average hard working American.
Yes, there are a lot more people working now then there was when Obama took office and the economy is doing better
but YOU don't want to admit that Obama took over the worst Recession EVER and McConnell and the Republicans took over the Congress and swore they would do everything they could to make Obama a one term President.
and they had complete control of Congress for years and the FACT is the " recovery " would have been more robust and a LOT stronger IF the Republicans would have worked with Obama and NOT tried to do everything they could to make him look as bad as Bush II was.
YOU and other Republicans keep trying to compare the economy under Obama's first two years and Trumps first two years' first of all Obama had to deal with the worst recession EVER
and Trump took over a recovering economy, YES it was a slow recovery BUT , and I say but IF the Republicans would have taken in the welfare of the people of the US and NOT did everything they could to make Obama look bad that slow recovery would have and could have been one of the most robust recoveries , BUT NO they did everything they could to slow it down, and then when Trump became President they tried to make him look good, and he still ran the debt UP MORE in his first fiscal year then Obama did in 5 out of the 8 years he was in office
They lied to the People saying they were going to " repeal and replace" the ACA
They had COMPLETE control of the US Government and could NOT even do the one thing they all ran on.
YES the GDP is up 3.5% or a little more and the stock market is going up and up
but the average person right now is not farther a head
YES wages went up an average of 1.9% and inflation has gone up 2.9% so they have lost real buying power.
Yes they saw an increase in their checks after the Trump tax cut, but why? they took out less withholding's and when it came to income tax time they got a lot less back then they did last year.
and most of the people I know that took the standard deduction last year after adding in what they got back in their checks and adding that to what they got beck in refunds they figured out they their income taxes went up.
Yes the stock market has gone up and most people who work for a living paid more in income tax this year then last, oh yes the GDP is up but most of that comes from people who invest in the stock market, big Corporations not having to pay income taxes on the millions or BILLIONS they are making in US profits. NOT from the hard working American
Have a nice night
Wow, have you ever thought about getting this post of yours published as a piece of fiction? All I hear from you is anti-republican b*******!

I'm sorry but you really don't have a clue how the US economy works but you keep buying what the left-wing tells you. If Obama did so well how did he do it since his stimulus money wasn't even spent and we came out of recession in June 2009?

Are we better off today than we were when Obama left office? 52% of people say yes. You think it is all about the stock market? No it is about personal responsibility and you really need to open your eyes to see what's going on in the country today with infrastructure spending, job creation that are full-time jobs not the part-time jobs Obama created.

You keep buying what you're told but not once have I ever seen one solution to the problems that you say exist. That makes you nothing but a partisan liberal hack! You have a great evening

What is being taken from the poor to give to the rich?

I anxiously await an answer to this question knowing that it will never happen. Never has spending in the name of compassion been stopped because of revenue issues as Congress will always spend ever dime and then some to keep their power. Threads like this are nothing more than red meat to liberals who are totally ignorant of reality. SS and Medicare have absolutely nothing to do with the tax cuts as Trump didn't cut funding for FICA, the payroll taxes that fund FICA, Obama did that so where was the outrage then? FICA tax holidays cut funding for SS and Medicare and it is amazing how the liberals applauded that policy

nothing! they rich pay all the taxes and create all the jobs and products we live on. The poor are 100% free riders who pay no taxes, create no jobs, and create no products!

Many of those poor are unable to function in society, either because of mental illness, physical issues, or emotional instability. How do you want to handle these people? Currently they can get a little government assistance. What's your solution?

Right, states and local communities, leave them out on the street to die. Not sure what state you live in but doubt seriously you know what you are talking about as this is another issue that you don't grasp

The poster said this - "The poor are 100% free riders who pay no taxes, create no jobs, and create no products!" I realize that you like to butt-in on every conversation, but again you deflect to personal insult instead of anything meaningful.

Many poor pay taxes. I pointed out, however, that many of the poor are also unable to function in society, either because of mental illness, physical issues, or emotional instability. Last I talked to you about that subject, you wanted to leave it to charitable giving, and stop using Federal and State money for the poor. So we know where you stand. If you now think differently, say so...

As you continue to show you are one of the most poorly informed radicals in this forum having no idea what takes you pay or their purpose. Why don't you find out what Federal Income Taxes are supposed to fund then tell us all why all INCOME earners shouldn't be paying something to fund those items? You certainly give your opinion and that of others none of which support the FACT that 44% of income earners pay ZERO in FEDERAL INCOME TAXES and the Top 1% pay 40%, Who is truly the robbers from the poor?? Warren, Sanders, Beto, Harris, Schumer, Pelosi, Biden, Booker, all all the other radicals who have hijacked the Democratic Party, all millionaires that keep the poor dependent on them.

You do realize that you are supporting america’s Biggest loser—a guy who literally lost a billion dollars in a decade—right?

Businesses all go up and down. It is in the dynamic nature of capitalism. It is that evolutionary nature that produces rapid progress. When the ups and downs give you your own jet planes and helicopters for your private use you are a huge winner. If you had that would you consider yourself a huge loser?? 1+1=2
nice try at repeating what your handlers wanted you to repeat. Feel like a fool liberal now?

yes and so they owe their very lives to the rich who support them, the rich who are vilified by slimy liberals. Solution is to handle it on state and local level so there competition, evolution, charity, limited coercion, and not federal monopoly. Do you understand?
