No Brown Deer, I don't believe in "Socialism."
Let's lay the facts on the table:
- The high tax states (CA, NY, NJ, CT, MA, etc.) contribute more in Federal taxes by fare than other states. For every dollar the high tax states give to the Feds, they get back pennies. Many of the low tax states make out like bandits in what they get back in revenue from everyone else. This is undisputed! And if you want to research it - GO! Do so. Then get back to me.
- The deductions that are so "evil" for individuals are being preserved in this bill - thanks to corporations and businesses that have given big bucks to K Street Lobbyists. "Pay to Play!" In other words: corruption. A member of the House Ways and Means Committee that writes the tax code defended the preservation of the tax deduction for corporations, and not individuals, by saying that without that deduction, businesses would be paying so much in Federal taxes that "They would go out of business!" FACT! Google it.
- I HATE this geographic arrow you throw at anyone who lives in a certain states - as if MILLIONS of us are LESS Americans!
Let me tell you something Brown Deer, and you listen good. I served as a military officer for over 20 years, and lived in many states, and also overseas, and also deployed to hell holes while fighting for this nation in 3 wars and many other engagements. The state I now live in has a very conservative county that voted overwhelmingly for Trump, and a Republican Governor. The fact that we have to fight Democrats at other levels does not, NOT make us AMERICANS! You blowhard! How DARE you!! You should be ashamed of yourself.
So continue. I would love to hear your pathetic rebuttal.
