Accurate Headline: Every Democrat in Congress Just Voted Against Pro-Growth Middle Class Tax Cuts
2017-12-21
[Townhall] Last night, the Senate adopted the final version of a major tax overhaul that nonpartisan organizations all agree will boost economic growth, make the US corporate tax rate far more competitive on the global stage, and will cut taxes, on average, for every single income group in America. Every single Democrat who cast votes on the bill in both legislative chambers voted no. 'Resistance' now requires consigning your working class and middle-income constituents to higher tax burdens, apparently. Thanks to Democrats' unified failure, more than 80 percent of taxpayers will see an immediate cut, with less than five percent getting an increase -- a tiny group heavily tilted toward wealthier itemizers living in high-tax states. More than eight years from now, those percentages would have barely budged, with the vast majority of all taxpayers (including and especially the working and middle classes) receiving tax relief, totaling roughly $7,000 for the average family by that point. These are facts; facts that Democrats and their media allies have gone into overdrive to hide from the American people. Some of this propaganda push has entailed flat-out lying and laughable hyperbole:

Bright Pebbles, does the phrase "Heil Hillary" mean anything to you? That's the antifa favorite phrase.

BTW "Antifa", really stands for "Anti-First-Amendment!", they're trying to confuse us by saying it's "anti-fascist", not very successfully as most Americans apparently knows better.

#9  What part of "It's our money" don't they understand? Posted by JohnQC

Every part JQC. What they "get" is

All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.

And they are the state.

#7  The problem that CA would have in this case is that people can leave freely. They had better get working on that.

High tax states = blue states and that tiny group heavily tilted toward wealthier itemizers are people who work, produce value and pay taxes. Most likely many of them vote Republican so when they leave those high tax states they'll get even bluer and eventually go bankrupt just like Detroit. Sometimes I think that's Brown's plan. He wants to turn California into a Third World hell hole on a par with Venezuela so he can be the dictator like Maduro.

I ask the same question very time I see or hear the following imminating from the swamp:

"The tax cut will cost the government......"

#3  They are statists through and through. They believe everything comes from a central government.

#1  Prosperity? Hell no, it's about power. Beggars are easier to please. Besides its in the program to destroy the Middle Class in order to have more efficient plantation socialism.
