I also don't mind them cutting entitlements, we should provide for those who can't do for themselves and give less to those who won't do for themselves. Raising the tax on the rich only effect the middle class. The rich may not have needed this tax cut, but the middle class did. We need to create opportunities, not more welfare babies.
.....Oh my, spoken like a true, selfish conservative. You guys learn those canned railroad speeches and that's automatically what rolls off your tongue when tax cuts and tax increases are mentioned. I guess it helps in having to avoid really thinking about the issues. Obviously, a start (with your belief) would be to better educate our society. No doubt that would help prepare more unemployed/under-employed with the right jobs needed for the future. Unfortunately, your Republicans are cutting funding to public education, and instead pushing the voucher/private sector. They know that's not feasible for many poor families, but they don't give a rats ass about poor families. This talk of "helping" the poor is all BS to a party that says we want to reduce government funding/entitlements to a point that it can be drowned in a bathtub. You, unfortunately do NOT take them serious here ... when they say they want to drown it in a bathtub, that's exactly what they want to do ... NO Entitlements, NO government assistant programs, nothing. Didn't they already show their intentions with their awesome Republican Health Plan they promised ... their awesome Tax Cut for the poor they promised? But you guys just keep going back to the trough time and again to get yet another bag of their BS feedings.
.....Republicans in Washington have no concerns for their tax payers in their states, THAT'S why so many Republican run states rank at the bottom for health care, income, jobs, etc etc. We've had this discussion hundreds of times, TwoBi ... and you keep crying about welfare babies and lazy poor people. Many of them now were placed there with those awesome past
"tax cuts for the poor & middleclass" and "jobs, jobs, jobs" programs. Just keep sucking up that Republican KoolAid. If you have a productive lower class, who will use their earned incomes to buy appliances, furniture, cars, even "health care" .... you'd see things turn around. This country runs on
REVENUE, TwoBi .... if the lower income earners don't have it, it has to come from those who have been blessed & enjoy the fruits of labor and the
PROTECTION of the government to allow them to earn those incomes. Why is it that the United States spends more on its military than the NEXT 10 countries (including Russia & China) added together ... tell me that? Why can congressmen use the tax payers dime to take their families on vacations?
.....The thing is, you have been brain washed to believe that
if they're not working they're lazy ... that the poor pay no taxes, etc ... that's not necessarily true, and in fact is often
not the case. No jobs, bad health, dependent responsibilities, etc ... Also, if it were true, Republicans would be pushing to upgrade the educational system instead of pounding billions of education dollars down the Military rat hole. And the poor workers DO pay taxes, and you damn well know that ... that's totally BS rightwing talk. The ones who are living off the country are the wealthiest ... including your dearly selected President Trump, who's got money stashed around the globe to avoid taxes on it. The real bandits to our society are those who encourage ($$$$$) our elected officials to pass legislation that favors THEM ... and fuck the poor.
.....Pull your head out of the ground ... might help to see what's really going on. By the time Mueller gets done, there may be no Republicans in office at all ... LOL ... bunch of frik'n thieves.
