Give him some tax cuts to go with it
- mudil 9y agoRepublican tax cuts are targeting small businesses and the middle class. Nice try
- snewk 9y agodo you have a source on that?
- nathantotten 9y agoI know this is off topic from this thread, but I’m honestly curious as to why you think this. What evidence exists to support your statement? Normally, I would just assume this type of comment is simply trolling, but I looked at your profile and it seems you are a real person with generally intelligent comments so now I’m curious.
- mudil 9y agoI didn't read the budget, and likely you didn't read it too. We can't do all things at the same time, so we have experts to take care of things. (Say, you get a CT scan, you are not going to view it and interpret it, your radiologist will.) The same with the budget: I trust the president and the Republicans, as I take their word for it.
- maxxxxx 9y ago"I trust the president and the Republicans, as I take their word for it." That's a bad strategy for a citizen in a democracy. If you blindly believe a party or politician you can't make educated choices.
- mudil 9y agoNobody does blindly anything. We make choices, and that is my choice. I trust the Republicans in Congress, and I am happy with their legislative agenda. Let's respect each other choices, and not denigrate anyone for being politically blind. We all have brains, personalities, education, and we all deserve respect.
- maxxxxx 9y agoDid you do any reading about the budget? I haven't read the whole thing but it seems pretty obvious to me that main benefits will go to the highest incomes and corporations and only a small percentage to the middle class. Unless you define middle class as people with net worth in the millions.
- nkrisc 9y agoInteresting you make this point, because experts seem to disagree with your belief.
- maxxxxx 9y agoMiddle class meaning net worth between 20-800 million dollars?
- ryanwaggoner 9y agoI'm not an expert, but wouldn't this almost all be taxed at capital gains rates? And those aren't changing. Even if they are taxed as income, the top rate is (probably) changing from 39.6% to 38.5%, so he'd saving less than 1% on $499 million of this. So where is he getting a big tax cut?
