#1 Infrastructure = Democratic donors. Learned the lesson in 2009 and won't get fooled again.

#2 "investments" means overpriced crap rail they get kickbacks on depending on how much they let contractors skim from the taxpayer?

#3 All of this is for naught. The Trump revolution, as such, will be on hold until a Republican house is brought back because the ultimate goal of such a revolution isn't raising/lowering taxes, it's eliminating public sector paychecks in droves.

And since Democratic party politicians have as their #1 job acting as mercenaries to protect every single one of those (mostly) unneeded government paychecks, at any cost to the U.S. at large, we are at a pause.

#4 Unless they can get it through the Senate, this is DOA.

Our current boom in GPA and jobs comes from those tax cuts. Which means the demoncrats hate it as it makes the workers and businessmen dependent on themselves instead of the government.

#5 The Trump revolution, as such, will be on hold until a Republican house is brought back because the ultimate goal of such a revolution isn't raising/lowering taxes, it's eliminating public sector paychecks in droves.

President Trump can continue quietly downsizing the government payroll in the meantime through his various secretaries and department heads.

#6 This initiative should be DOA. I know the Republican Senate is next to worthless, but Trump isn't going to sign away the gains he made in his first 2 years.

#7 They never seem to understand that raising corporate taxes means higher prices for consumers.

Maybe they do, those higher price mean more sales tax dollars for their festering democratic fiefdoms.

#8 They never seem to understand that raising corporate taxes means higher prices for consumers

True, SPOD. Some even think that too many troops will tip an island over, too.

You're talking about the same demographic here.

#9 The Democrat Financial Check Valve Effect

Taxes go only one way — up and never down.

#10 >Taxes go only one way — up and never down.

Taxes on America workers only go up.

It's why the globalist left hate rising tariffs to fund income tax-cuts. They want American's taxed not Chinese.
