Well,seems Dick doesn't like it.

Here's an old song I like;)

Smokey Robinson - Cruisin (1979)

If the American Federation of Liberal and Communist Insurgency Organizations hates it then it must be great!!

We already know that Trump and Republican leaders in Congress want working people to pay the price for these tax giveaways to big corporations and the wealthy.

We know this because the budgets they have proposed for the coming year include trillions of dollars in cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, education, infrastructure and other programs benefiting working people.

Nobody lies easier than a union leader.

Since when does the AFL-CIO know anything about the needs of working people?

[rrrod]

Proof it’s a great plan!

I have no problem giving businesses tax breaks and lower taxes _if they actually produce something_.

FIRE (financial, insurance, real estate) profits are not productive for the economy and in my view should be taxed higher than manufacturing businesses, imho.

Little Dick, the guy who “rammed” Obamacare down our throats speaks! With forked tongue of course. Lying little union b*tch.

[vpintheak]

Trumpka is a tool who has gotten wealthy off the union dues of too many workers.

AFL-CIO Runs The Con Game Against Working Americans!

AFSCME* if I care.

The red diapered doper baby speaks.

[Uncle Miltie]

The Con Game is that no tax plan will pass.

All Kabuki theater.

[Arthur McGowan]

Trumka makes Stalin look like a Coolidge Republican.

If he’s against it, that’s all I need to know.

(I still think 25% should be the absolute limit on any tax.)

[Grampa Dave]

Tricky Dicky doesn’t like it.

That means, it is probably good for us!

[Gay State Conservative]

Rumor has it that Bill Ayers is displeased as well.

Given that corporate taxes are coming down, and the top tax bracket is coming down, deficits will skyrocket unless someone pays. Our problem is too much spending. Unless we cut spending, deficits will go through the roof. Since the odds of spending being cut are slim and none, the chances are good that lower and middle income taxpayers will be stuck with the bill. And if that happens, November 2018 will be a bloodbath for the GOP if this tax reform is retroactive to 2017. The preliminary proposals are in and not looking good for households making less than $100K per year (bottom 74%).

The wealthy ARE working people.

How does Trumka think they became wealthy?
By putting in long hours and working hard.

[Zhang Fei]

Because of the way the tax bill tries to limit deficits while initiating massive rate cuts, lower income households will end up with higher taxes. Politicians, including Republican ones, have finely-honed survival instincts. This tax reform bill is probably DOA. A straightforward Obamacare repeal would have funded the tax cuts. Without the repeal, the bottom 3/4 will have to foot the bill to avoid hundreds of billions of dollars in additional deficits per year, on top of the $1T we are stacking up today.

Republican Tax Plan a Con Game Against Working People

Translation...the union isn't going to get any more money to support Democrats so it's a bad plan.

[GreyFriar]

Of course Commie Trumka doesn’t like it. He doesn’t like capitalism and will only be happy when we become the United Soviet Socialist States of America. The old anti-communist AFL-CIO leaders have probably been proverbially spinning in their graves since he was elected.

"Reducing the corporate tax rate from 35% to 20%, which would overwhelmingly benefit the rich."

So overwhelmingly true. Not one centsworth of stocks is held by pension plans of unions and private people. /sarc
