No, tax revenues have went up every year - El-ahrairah BAMA - 5/12 07:59:58

While I agree that he is (obviously), is that a result of - MIZ45 MU - 5/12 08:42:01

why does that matter? - ashtray UF - 5/12 09:11:56

If you're only looking at your personal financial situation - MIZ45 MU - 5/12 09:28:13

I paid a lot more in tariffs so my income tax savings - ashtray UF - 5/12 09:30:04

Ah, good point about the tariffs. (nm) - MIZ45 MU - 5/12 09:33:47

And that negates the fact that there would not have been - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/12 08:09:48

Actually, the tax cut didnt actually spur much growth - SparkyStalcup MU - 5/12 08:12:56

There is no such thing as wrong tax cut. - ummmm MU - 5/12 08:17:05

No, the tax cuts were also aimed at the upper class - SparkyStalcup MU - 5/12 08:19:47

It didn’t put money in their pockets - El-ahrairah BAMA - 5/12 08:27:54

Semantics aside, the tax cut did not move the needle much - SparkyStalcup MU - 5/12 09:09:52

Yeah, it was also aimed at middle class people too. - ummmm MU - 5/12 08:24:15

I actually paid more the last 2 years than I would have - SparkyStalcup MU - 5/12 07:59:35

Then you must be rich(nm) - hefeweizen MU

- 5/12 08:00:35

No, I'm not rich. If I were rich, I would have had my taxes - SparkyStalcup MU - 5/12 08:02:15

I'm not rich either and my taxes were cut. You must - hefeweizen MU

Maybe you're just poorer than you realize (nm) - Da_Haze KC - 5/12 08:42:34

Maybe. Did I mention I'm going on vacation in 3 weeks - hefeweizen MU
