No I metaphorically painted a picture of a politician that brags about how much he did for the little guy by pointing out the tax cut he was bragging about wouldn't cover a nice dinner out for the Congressman.
Maybe I should have included the Congressman and another crook and spouse in the deal. The point was it was very critical of the Congressman to claim that a thousand dollar cut is just not life changing money, nice but of little effect on life style.
If you don't get the difference then I can't help you.
You’re cherry-picking numbers just like the author.
Your $1,000 in tax savings does not represent either the average or mean Federal tax savings of the Tax Law.
You sound like the critics of GWB’s tax refund. “Oh, it’s only a $1,300 rebate”. Do you similarly criticize Christmas gifts? “Oh, I could have gotten this on sale for much less than what you paid.
And you’re neglecting to consider the effects of the 14% reduction in corporate tax rate. That means there’s 14% more funds available to pay for salaries and expansion. IOW pay raises because of increased market competition between corporations. This was common in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s. Pay has been stagnant for 8 years. All the money went to the Sponsors of the =private corporations= DNC and RNC which fund and control politicians.
