It’s Tax Cut Tuesday and Nobody Is Happy?

The Lowry segment:

Folks, the stuff that has been done this year, the economic rebound, the pulling this country from the depths of despair and putting it back on a course to make it great again?

It is transformational and phenomenal. So much of this has happened in just one year, and the tax cut passing will put an exclamation point to the end of this. That (although it won’t be reported) is going to send the left into the throes of depression and funk like you think you’re in. They are gonna end up actually being there, and their funk and their depression is gonna be legit because it will be born of the reality that they have been unable to stop Trump from the implementation of his agenda. Yeah, some things.

But you look at the forces arrayed against this president — you look at the projection of power the left has put together and used against this administration — and then you measure what this administration got done. I would be hard-pressed for you to name any other president who could pull off as much of what Trump has pulled off with this kind of opposition. No previous president has known this kind of opposition. No previous president has been the recipient of 91% consistent, negative coverage for over a year.

No previous president has been targeted for destruction by what we call the “deep state,” the administrative, unelected bureaucracy of this country — staffed by career leftists, socialists, liberals, you name it — working in consort with simpaticos at the Drive-By Media. There isn’t a single president in our lifetimes you could name who could have withstood and overcome and triumphed on so much against this kind of opposition, and some are now begrudgingly beginning to recognize it and acknowledge it.

I was a Cruz supporter and Cruz couldn’t have pulled off what Trump has.

DouGie should take the $8,000 and give it to Saint Jude’s hospital, but Dougie really only wants to Virtue Signal, not actually help people.

[Vigilanteman]

I get less than $700, but I can use it far better than a bloated government bureaucracy who sees middle class taxpayers like me as cows to be milked . . . or butchered.

[Lakeshark]

I'm thrilled.

I haven't even tried the calculator.

I'm excited because it's clear, most of us will keep more. But even better, it will boost the economy for us, our kids, grand kids and help revive a once great nation.

We live in genuinely exciting times.

[eyedigress]

Liberals cannot see this pass, it will only make them look more communist than they already are.

Trump wins again. The Libs can all go home and share their spit over KWanzaa or whatever.

[NorthMountain]

Doug Emerson just wants to bitch, moan, and complain. Donating his tax savings to some charity (or even handing Benjamins to bums on the street) requires actual effort. It requires him to take responsibility for his life. It requires him to make moral choices.

This will not do.

[Kaslin]

The Republicans need to replace McConnell as Majority leader and put someone in that insist on a majority of 60 votes for the Republicans. That means of course that we have to increase our seats in the midterm election.

CNN anchor Don Lemon stepped out on Saturday night holding hands with his rumored boyfriend. The 51-year-old veteran journalist attended the star-studded Saturday Night Live after party at Tao Restaurant and Night Club in New York City with Tim Malone. It appears as though Lemon has been dating Malone since at least April, according to a number of photos posted to their respective social media accounts. But this is the first time Lemon has been photographed publicly with Malone, who works as a sales executive in his 30s and graduated from Boston College in 2006, according to his LinkedIn profile.

I have talked with several owners of construction companies who are very eager to take the corporate tax cut and buy equipment, hire employees and generally reinvest the money.

[Sarah Barracuda]

The Commie media would only be happy if Democrats were passing the same exact bill, but since Republicans are doing it, WE ARE ALL GONNA DIE AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH..dear liberals..you are free to give as much of your paycheck to the Govt as you wish, just send them a check NO ONE is stopping you!

[SkiKnee]

I’ll withhold any happiness until the thing is signed into law.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Ahhhhhhhhhh Thousand Oaks, I remember when that area was Conservative, then it merged with Simi Valley to become an illegal alien cesspool with far left loons

[pghbjugop]

Nope wrong again, if flake votes against, it is 50 to 49 no tie breaker needed. In fact flake and two others can abstain from voting making it 48 to 48 before you need pence, voting against is different than not voting, which is why McCains absence is not a problem

[Vendome]

That’s nice for us, but it’s disgraceful morally since we have no need for that benefit while people who are poor or sick will not be helped by this bill.

And we already have a myriad of social programs to help them.

[Vendome]

I think I know this idiot and he is not from Thousand Oaks and that is not his real name.

That, or I know his idiot twin.

Doug:
Nothing stopping you from taking the benevolence of the givernment and donating that $8,000 to any cause that will improve someone’s life or advance the human condition.

[xzins]

Are there really people that ignorant of how their own paycheck works?

[DoughtyOne]

More money will remain in wage earner’s, small business, and corporate hands, starting January 1st, 2018.

This should add to the already jump started economy.

With new hiring, even the kind that took place this year, the cost of tax cuts will be covered to an extent. Each year to cost of tax cuts will be offset by a growing number of new taxpayers, paying the full new tax load, compared to all those only getting a few percent of tax cuts. Federal receipts will cover the loss from previous sources in a few years, and actually a lot more than that.

New business will in time cover the corporate and small business tax cuts, and more.

[trublu]

New York Times: 75% of Americans will see a tax reduction.

Yet over half think their taxes will go up. I smell a messaging problem.

[DoughtyOne]

I agree. And I’d like to see evidence that the House and Senate leadership and the RNC actually want to see this.

I don’t see any evidence of it right now.

Moore’s outcome really put that out there didn’t it.

Doug Emerson, Thousand Oaks:

Hey, you generous liberal, you can donate your refund to the Salvation Army and most of that donation goes to help the needy.

I’m sure that we could get a SCal Freeper to come to your house with a Salvation Army person and a kettle for your donation.

Just notify our head guy, Jim Robinson, that you would like to donate to the Salvation Army. Jim can probably get a Freeper to do it and or drive down himself.
