Liberals Have an EPIC Meltdown Over GOP Tax Reform
Town Hall ^ | Dec 20, 2017 | Beth Baumann

Posted on 12/22/2017 9:22:28 AM PST by Cheerio

Now that the GOP has announced their tax reform bill success, Liberals across America are freaking out. For whatever reason, Liberals hate the idea of Americans having more money in their pockets. The best part of these meltdowns? The worst ones come from Hollywood elites who have money up the ying yang.

Like you're not bathing in your own money, Conan? Come talk to me about being an average, everyday person once you're no longer rich (assuming that will ever happen). see link for M\aAher tweet

Oh, Bill. Must you forget that corporations provide jobs for millions of Americans, yourself included? I know, it's SO horrible that we provide them with a simple "thank you" for their hard work.

CBS this morning “studied” 3 couples - ALL 3 were going to have huge tax relief much to the chagrin of NorDUH and Gayle oPorah.

Liberals heads are so far up their own butts that if you told them they are also getting a tax cut, they would still tell you it’s not true.

I think I am going to Starbucks this afternoon and I am going to wear my MAGA ball cap.

Yep, the big corporate tax break also applies to movie studios allowing them to invest millions more into even more super hero themed films that would require hiring more grips, assistants, location managers, drivers and yes... even actors. This is called trickle down economics, a taboo term in Hollywood even though it drives the industry.

This is precisely why actors aren’t economists and MENSA candidates.

The hollywood folks will see their taxes go up (living in CA they likely have huge SALT deductions going away). I love it!

CBS This Morning ran a tax check on 3 families. At least one in California. All 3 expected higher taxes. All 3 received tax cuts ! The Cali couple with 3 kids, 1 good salary, one small business, expected more taxes, but received a $13,000 reduction in taxes paid.

I was more surprised that CBS ran the story. It's likely to be archived on their site soon.

Liberals abandoned common sense and reason long ago. Now their shtick is all about the agenda, and the agenda is based on big government and control. Anything that goes against that they oppose - shrilly and emotionally.

Don't expect anything a liberal says or does to make any sense. They would be wonderfully entertaining if they weren't actually serious about their idiotic ideas.

Talking heads say what’s written in the teleprompter. If someone wrote “Trump’s tax law means people who earn $20,000 will pay $500 more taxes. And a person earning $20,000 will get to keep $500 more. And I’m a dumbass” the talking heads would read it just the way it’s written. Again, they say what’s written for them to say.

Sorry. I missed your post.

The 2nd Rhode Island couple no kids saved $630. The 3rd, single mom from Cary NC making $40k renting saves 13K iirc

It is now posted at cbsnews.com

On a side note, related to your screen name, when my son was about four he loved Buzz Lightyear; his little friend was also into Toy Story. My son had just received a Buzz doll for Christmas.

One day I brought him over to his friend’s house for a playdate. When we first got there, his friend said, “If you show me your Buzz, I’ll show you my Woody.” His mother and I looked at each other and completely cracked up. :)

I apologize if I told you this before; one of the funniest memories of my now 22 year-old son’s childhood. :)

When Ronald Reagan was in office and turned around the corporate tax for all, Exxon decided to invest in this one start-up in Dallas that did telephone switching systems. They some extra money to invest. A friend of mine got a job at this new start-up beginning with a salary of about $35,000. Within just a few years he was able to prove himself and get a couple of promotions due to recognition of his abilities to where he reached a salary of $80,000. This little start-up did corporate switching systems for Coca-Cola, University of Chicago and even Microsoft. The company, before the advent of cell phones, was pretty successful. And it all was made to happen because Ronald Reagan got the corporate tax decreased.

The left will have their little pity party. Meanwhile we will become more prosperous.

Liberals have epidemic meltdowns just about everything done by those who do not agree with them. They come across as nasty, nerdy, emotionally unstable weaklings.

Liberals are unstable. Period. Nothing they say makes any sense. They’re consistently offended at stupid crap. They believe in 101 genders but WE’RE the ones who are anti-science. They’re racist to the core, lazy, unsuccessful, miserable specimens of the human race.

I’ve purged every single one of them from my life. Never been happier!

If you go, please let us know how it went. Be careful because those “COEXIST” “Celebrate Diversity” people are mean and dangerous.

Merry Christmas!
