Second, I am not a class warfare warrior. Few of us here are. But both bills were written to declare class warfare. They chose to pick winners and losers. By eliminating or capping so many deductions, they are raising taxes on millions in the middle class to “pay for” The massive tax cuts are for the corporations and the donors. It is what it is. That’s the way they wrote it. That’s the way it is structured.
I wouldn’t care if everyone got a tax cut and the wealthy got more of a tax cut because they pay a lot in taxes. Why would I? But this is not the 1986 Reagan bill. Far from it. This is not, repeat, not an across-the-board Tax cut for everyone. It is a deduction cut. They wrote a revenue neutral bill, which requires winners and losers. If we had a value added tax, or flat tax, yes that would be fair. That’s not what they gave us.
Quote: “The former is already approved and the latter cleared committee and will be voted on possibly tomorrow.”
Just like the ObamaCare repeal was voted on? I say again, McCain to the rescue. He cannot resist a good old fashion in your face job in order to satisfy his NYT, liberal media praise addiction. Color me skeptical but I believe by this time tomorrow we will be discussing how McCain stuck a knife in our backs again.
What seems to be bothering people (and I live in NJ) is the elimination of the tax deduction for state and local taxes. I am sorry but this will hurt me and I am FOR IT!!! Here is why, by allowing the steeple of the blue states to deduct their obscene taxes the Federal Government has been providing political cover for the worst of the worst liberal policies.
This is your typical, liberal NJ resident: “ I am a NJ resident and I am going to listen to my powerful emotions tell me that unless I vote for a democrat puppies will die, the elderly will die, blacks and hispanics will die, teachers will die, big business will continue to poison our air and use slave labor, etc. etc. etc. We need pot legalized and illegal aliens to have welfare. Mosques welcome here and there is no place for hate and all that. A chicken in every pot, pot for every chicken. SO WHAT IF IT IS AGAINST MY ECONOMIC INTERESTS AND I CAN’T AFFORD ANYTHING, THE PLANET IS AT STAKE!!!! OH THE HUMANITY. But I pulled the lever for the democrat rather than that racist, sexist, homophobic other guy so I FEEL better.”
I could go on and on with the high cost, ludicrous policies of utopian NJ and other blue states that have driven their businesses out but we know them all. But here is the catch, the liberal, drone morons do not completely live with the cost of their idiocy. Oh no, instead come Federal Tax time they get to blunt, not nearly eliminate by any means, but blunt, their tax burden by lessening their taxes (the revenue the Federal Gov. receives). The rest of the country can pick up the slack so that the good people of NJ can continue to swim in their sewage treatment plant.
Bonus, once they start smelling the sewage they (like Californians) move to greener pastures and enact that same damn stupid policies.
Well, it is high time for a little reality to interrupt the regularly scheduled demagogue, emotional diarrhea motivation of the NJ voter. It is time for them to learn a little cause and effect. PSSST, NJ voters, don’t want to pay higher taxes then start at HOME and stop lock stepping to the polls and voting to fund corruption and high in the sky taxes. And if you do move out, then let the lessons learned here sink in. If you go to a red state and turn it into NJ, then you will suffer the same consequences. Cause and effect liberal children. Time to grow the eff up.
