President Donald Trump is calling the Republican tax plan, which Congress passed Wednesday, his Christmas gift to Americans. But the final version of the bill significantly under-delivers on the sweeping legislation the president spoke about while on the campaign trail and throughout his first year in office. The tax plan, approved by Senate and House Republicans last Friday, is about one-quarter the size of what the president initially promised, according to the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center. Here are three ways the final tax plan does not live up to the promises that Trump made to the American people.

Robbery? Lowering the corporate tax rate to a level on par with our competitors is robbery? Lowering the highest tax bracket from 39% to 37% is robbery? That doesn't include state and local taxes which may still cost a wealthy man 50% of what he makes. That's robbery? In who's twisted mind thinks taking less from the people that earn it is robbery? Maybe you should look up the definition of robbery? Let me help. Robbery - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robbery According to common law, robbery is defined as taking the property of another, with the intent to permanently deprive the person of that property, by means of force or fear; that is to say, it is a larceny or theft accomplished by an assault. |

80% of the tax cuts go to the top 1 % ...especially the top 1/10th of 1% that's all people need to know. Wealth inequality in the US is at near record levels according to a new study by academics. Over the past three decades, the share of household wealth owned by the top 0.1% has increased from 7% to 22%. For the bottom 90% of families, a combination of rising debt, the collapse of the value of their assets during the financial crisis, and stagnant real wages have led to the erosion of wealth. US wealth inequality - top 0.1% worth as much as the bottom 90% Edited by _g R_, Dec 21 2017, 03:00 PM.

Wealth equality would seem both impossible and unnecessary. We are now about par with Sweden. Lots of happy people there in Sweden, they make a crummy car, but generally a happy lot of folk. Why is inequality so important to you? |

Oh dear....my heart bleeds....did you stop to think that some of that 1% worked hard to be in that 1%....why should this top 1% be excluded from a Tax cut?.... Typical leftist attack....you act like Robin Hood take from the rich and give to the poor but by the time it goes through the Washington bureaucrats the poor get "F" all. And then you turn on the middle class and bleed them to fund your Welfare programs.....and then make it a doomsday sin that a working family gets a Tax Cut.... Your biggest problem is your base doesn't pay tax to start with.... |

So we cut taxes on the group that does the most to avoid taxes at the cost of the middle class. Good work. |

It's robbery when you give "their" money back, but insist on still spending the country into bankruptcy. Which means that eventually you're going to tax the crap out of the rest of us, taking "our" money in order to pay down the national debt or totally collapse the government. |

My stand on the national debt has always been pretty clear. During the recession, the government needed to pick up some of the economic slack by spending more, even if that meant incurring debt. That would have been an excellent time for a major nation wide infrastructure project, particularly since the U.S. government could borrow money so cheaply. However, once the economy has turned around, which it has at this point, we should be looking at reducing spending and eliminating the deficit, even paying down the debt. Starting two wars while giving out tax breaks, then continuing those tax breaks, and then giving even more tax breaks, while continuing to spend at an ever increasing level, particularly on things like the military which is already way over funded, is just plain stupid. |

How many wars do we really need to be fighting? Libya? Syria? Afghanistan? Iraq? Anti-terrorist activities all across the entire freaking Middle East, trillions pissed away, and for what? Are we "safer"? It sure doesn't look like it. |
