No Democrats backed the bill. You can always count on the Democrats to stand between us and our own money. They are like depraved heroin addicts strung out on our dough.
No Democrats backed the bill. You can always count on the Democrats to stand between us and our own money.
With spines stiffened by a presidential pep talk, House Republicans easily approved a $1.4 trillion tax cut Thursday, taking the first big step toward a decades-overdue overhaul that the GOP hopes will send the economy soaring.
Desperate for a legislative win, Republicans linked arms and plowed ahead, brushing aside Democratic warnings that the bill will be seen as a sop to the wealthy instead of a boost to the middle class that President Trump had promised.
Story continues below advertisement“America needs a comeback,” said House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, California Republican. “This is your comeback.”
Thursday’s 227-205 vote marks the first major step, but Republicans still have a number of hills to climb. The Senate is aiming to pass its own version after Thanksgiving, then the measures need to be squared with each other.
No Democrats backed the bill.“This is the most irresponsible bill I will have been confronted with in 37 years,” said Rep. Steny H. Hoyer, a Maryland Democrat who said the massive deficits — as much as $2 trillion, when interest costs and other extensions are included — are a betrayed of what Republicans have long argued for.

it’s a tax shuffle, not a tax cut. the swamp will suck as much money out of america after this bill is signed as it did before. repubs need a victory, the donald needs a bill to sign, so the kabuki theater goes on. the real fact is that the amount of money extorted by the swamp from the american people in october set a new record

democrats realize that the America’s fiscal policy needs to be responsible and accountable. This adjustment is the first step in doing so. The obimbo administration gave more than that away for nothing, not even a general accounting as to where it went or for what purpose.

Don’t forget, D. Rumsfeld announced the day before 9/11, that $2.3 trillion of pentagon money, just happened to be unaccounted for. No one ever talked about it again, because of that “other thing” that happened the next day.

I’m hoping for the day when we will never have to hear the whiney voice of the weasel Paul Ryan again.
McConnell and Collins, too.
How could people who sound like these people do ever be elected to public office where their primary vocational function is speaking?

=============================
But Steny, what do you call ObamaCare, then? Obama’s gift to America? THAT is the biggest tax bill in American history.

But that does not justify Income tax cut for wealthy . tax cut for middle class welcome and time to prune the pay/perks of govt employees and get rid of Left/liberal obama holdovers for subverting the law whenever they do.
That is why America needs Trump now more than ever and he is not afraid to call out the son of bitches http://bit.ly/2xuQrzi
If Left/Liberal pro-jihadi holdovers are purged from govt , judiciary, things will improve and Trump can do better job to improve security.

“does not justify an income tax cut for wealthy”. So, you area socialist or communist in your thinking. In your eyes, the wealthy need to be punished. In the United States, we are all equal. If one gets a tax cut, we all get a tax cut.
Leave your jealously, envy and hate at home and stop talking like a communist democrat.

Then why do you have tax slabs ? Make everyone pay same rate. I’m sure middle class earning $40,000/yr will be thrilled with your suggestion. LOL !

The cut should go to those who pay taxes, those who do not pay cannot use a cut from something they do not do!

“No democrats backed the bill”.
This is a reminder for everyone that the Roy Moore scandal is more complicated. Let’s not forget that there is an ongoing COUP attempt on the President by the Democrats to overturn the 2016 elections. the sexual harassment issue will be another tool they will eventually use against him.
(Let me explain more below..)

Articles of impeachment were already introduced against President Trump this week; while the sexual harassment stories flood the airwaves and provide cover.
Please don’t misunderstand me. If Roy Moore is guilty, then he should pay. But only AFTER a republican wins that senate seat (i.e. Moore wins the race, then we replace him with his WIFE. But it will remain republican NOT democrat.)
It’s a tough and hard-ass way to think, but that’s Washington DC where ruthless people play a ruthless game; even ruthless enough to overturn 2016.
things to consider:
-Articles of impeachment were already introduced against President Trump this week; while the sexual harassment stories flood the airwaves and provide cover.
-Roy Moore is just the test target by liberal hit-lawyer Gloria Allred.
She and her liberal friends will be gunning for the President again soon.
-The Russia investigation seems to be falling apart everyday; so liberals need another issue to ask for the president to resign: “Sexual harassment”.
-If they can’t impeach Trump through a Fake Russia investigation, they will call for his resignation through the sexual harassment issue.
– If Moore loses, then it brings the President one step closer to impeachment. Which makes the COUP attempt one step closer to succeeding.
– in the last few weeks The War On Terror has taken a back seat to sexual harassment.
Possible solutions:
-support Roy Moore then make him pay later (if he is guilty). replace him with his wife AFTER he wins the race. that way, he pays (if he is guilty); but the COUP attempt by the democrats is stopped.
-ask the governor to suspend the elections. Then have LUTHER STRANGE run as an Independent or a replacement.
– I am not downplaying sexual harassment or sexual misconduct. crimes need to be punished. But we also need to understand the CONTEXT of the times we are living in: A COUP attempt by the democratic party, in order to overturn the 2016 elections and destroy the Constitution.

Roy Moore isn’t the liberals real target. It’s the President!

Roy Moore is not guilty of anything that can keep him from winning the Senate seat. We need him – period.

Well, unfortunately the latest polls tell a different story.
And from past experience, not personal. these kinds of accusations do not go away, no matter how many people, including the so-called victims testify otherwise. There will always be a smidgeon of doubt in peoples minds.Ask any man so accused.

Unfortunately, I know all about the latest articles of impeachment – my embarrassment of a Congressman was one of ’em who introduced them.

Funny the communist democrats did not vote for the tax bill, they wrote it.
Taxes will go up for working Americans, as Ryan said Tuesday. The very rich get screwed as is the communist way.
No balls in the anti-American congress to do a real tax cut and reduce the oppressive, tyrannical federal government. Simultaneously, the congress is pushing another gun ban.
Washington, D.C. is the enemy.

As was predictable, Trump’s election was like a college football coach being hired to revive a sagging program. He will spend the early part of his tenure undoing the damage before he can install some winning strategies.

THIS is a start. But we should work ourselves to voluntary taxes. YES, VOLUNTARY TAXES. You give what you want. I like another pundit that says we should let the government operate on tariffs to pay for their big mouths.
Income tax is NOT constitutional, anyway. Only businesses make income. You barter for wages, you don’t make an “income”.
You should not be taxed for gas either or pay fees to use your car. These are all SUCKER PUNCHED communist tactics to steal wealth from you. Most people don’t use cars for business, but transportation.
