That wasn't me who did that. I am not a DU poster. I have been here on FR for 19 years.
On the tax bill, the outcome I hoped for did not prevail. That is the way things are. What am I going to do? Write a book called "What Happened?" and go on tour?
Trump promised tax cuts for the middle class ("the forgotten men and women") during his campaign. I have the quotes and videos.
This tax bill isn't what he promised. That is not my doing or my fault.
Time for me to move on. I'll simply be cutting bigger checks to the IRS.
I don't have to like it. Folks on your side want me to.
I don't know why.
I want to say I have followed this thread and
dialog and you have been respectable and very
fair in stating your side. I don’t see you as
a anti-Trump person but one that is just thinking
and exercising your opinion.
I have not even formed a opinion either way on
the tax reform bill.
I did learn during the Presidential election
last year that there are those on FR that crucify
their own if anyone mentions a different opinion than
their own,name calling etc.
Sad but true. Stand tall. You have done nothing
wrong.
“This tax bill isn’t what he promised. That is not my doing or my fault.”
And if you voted for Trump for Dictator, you’d undoubtedly be getting exactly what you voted for. But you didn’t cast your vote for the office of Fuehrer...you voted for a President is a system of distributed power. In fact, this president is extremely limited in power simply because he has exceedingly few political allies anywhere in the other two co-equal branches of government.
You have a Senate made up of elites who became Uber-wealthy in lifetime positions that skim and extort from Federal spending in order to line their own bank accounts. Trump has no power over these bodies...he cannot even get his immigration policies in place because of district court judges from those same socialist states that vote their taxes into the stratosphere in order to then deduct them on their Federal returns.
You lost in sausage-mill of government this time and you can be pissed off about it. That’s fair...I’d be pissed if I still had to live in one of the socialist states too. That is fair. But to blame the president you voted for for this situation because he doesn’t have the power that Hitler or Mussolini or Stalin had borders on delusion. If Trump had the power to implement his policy, you’d be happy today. But to be angry at him because he doesn’t have that power in our system of government is just howling at the fates.
Good to know it wasn’t you. I don’t post there, but I certainly do read it. I am not thrilled with the tax bill, but it is a beginning. Hopefully it will be improved. (It can’t be very conservative, because McCain voted FOR it).
Interesting that your anti-Trump tax bill posts are being posted on DU.
What a badge of “honor”.
Not.
