Trump’s tax win will expose poverty of the leftist economics
Washington Times ^ | L. Todd Wood

Posted on 12/23/2017 6:45:57 PM PST by GonzoII

When it comes to President Trump’s big tax plan, Democrats are worried — not that it will fail but that it will succeed, igniting the U.S. economy and providing so much economic growth that all those low-information voters out there will see the leftist scare talk of the last 25 years has been complete rubbish.

Those fears are shared in Moscow, Tehran, Pyongyang and Beijing. America’s adversaries are worried that the U.S. economy, chained down by Obama, Clinton and Bush globalists for the last several decades, will actually make America great again under Mr. Trump. I’m talking “Ronald Reagan great” again. For just as economic weakness begets military weakness, economic strength produces military dominance.

Leftist economic failure was exposed back during the Plymouth Plantation days hundreds of years ago, and yet you still have these deranged and sick morons pushing failure and disaster.

I wrote much the same three weeks before Trump’s election:

“The four decades since 2016 have seen a breathtaking restoration of the Republic of the United States of America. Looking back from 2056, the historians and pundits say it was inevitable.

The United States had enormous energy resources, an educated and ethical workforce, a history of entrepreneurial spirit. The fruits of the digital industrial age, genome processing, and robotic development were on the edge of explosion. The resurgence back from the malaise and blame America thinking of the Obama administration was certain to happen, with a wealthy, prosperous, powerful and free America the obvious result.”

Capitalism creates the real wealth and prosperity that is at the core of social justice. Socialism creates misery, poverty and the loss of freedom.

Why is everyone celebrating? These tax cuts don't go far enough. The spending on leftist big government programs and departments will continue. Any benefits from these cuts will get eaten up by the spending. That's what happened during the Reagan years and the Bush II years. I can understand the Reagan years, as he had to work with a Rat Congress.

I've talked to economists and a pure flat income tax of 10%-15% would bring in over $4 trillion dollars in revenue. The compliance costs would automatically disappear. It would force the 45% of people who don't pay any taxes to join the workforce.

Had I been in Congress while this was passed, yes I would have voted for it but I would have definitely included a voting statement along with it. We need tax reform. Pure flat income tax for everyone until the 16th can be repealed and then the federal government can be funded by excise taxes and tariffs like it used to be.

A lot of people remember the last time R's held all three.

Help wanted billboards! Hiring everywhere. Unexpected refund checks!

Then Nancy and the MSM wrecking crew convinced everyone it was the second great depression, and Jorge Boosh kept quiet except to reprimand us about how peaceful Sand Nazi are. Speaking of quiet NONE of them spoke up when CIA ghost man Hussein was placed over us!

Praise God those daze are over!

Was just watching ABC news here in oz where they had some expert tell us how Trump’s tax-cuts were nothing more than economic vandalism.
