    What Has Trump Really Done You As A Member Of The Middle Class?

    You've made a pretty good case for individual liberty as your definition of libertarianism. As a left leaning democrat, I feel that there is a great difference between your definition of libertarian and what the Koch brothers have been describing as libertarian since Reagan was President. Do you...

    What Has Trump Really Done You As A Member Of The Middle Class?

    Take a look at post 5 then at post 11. The foundation mentioned in post 11 is heavily funded by the billionaire class. That says enough.

    What Has Trump Really Done You As A Member Of The Middle Class?

    OK, I understand. Withholding went down because income is subject to lower taxes. I haven't done my taxes yet, and Pub 17 wasn't available for 2018 back in November when I looked for it. A personal question if I may. Being libertarian and left seem contradictory. That suggests a concern for the...

    What Has Trump Really Done You As A Member Of The Middle Class?

    So a law was made to keep the economy humming by lowering withholding. I understand that. What you didn't include was how the cap on deductions and those deductions that just went away would effect the total tax bill. The people who have been dependent on thirty thousand a year in itemized...

    I was a shop steward in one of those unions. Unions keep things fair. They stop firings when a couple of days with no pay will succeed in disciplining the offender. When a vacation is scheduled with advance notice, the person gets to take it. Thanks for the knife in the back fellow worker. As...

    52%? He didn't have 52% on election day. You're not really saying that his approval rating is going up are you? I hope that Trump is not stupid enough to reject the deal reached in Congress on funding the budget yesterday.

    What Has Trump Really Done You As A Member Of The Middle Class?

    You mean silly stuff like pointing out who funds a foundation cherry picking facts to suit their donors? In post #5 you quoted an article from a tainted (see post 11) source. There's nothing silly about that. As far as the quote by Wertmuller, Socialists can be right some of the time.

    What Has Trump Really Done You As A Member Of The Middle Class?

    Here is what I have gathered so far that have survived the sniff test: 1. He genuinely wants a better deal for American business interests in China. 2. Those of us who don't itemize, will do better. 3. Trump opposes China's requirement that we share our technology as the part of any trade deal...

    Forbes magazine just lost some points by considering the Texas Public Policy Foundation a credible source of data. Here is a comprehensive source of funding for the Texas Public Policy Foundation ...

    It appears that it has. Please take a look at this web site: NAFTA replacement: What's new in the US, Canada and Mexico trade deal? - CNNPolitics

    America Will Never Be A Socialist Country

    Use "Fox News Socialism" as you see fit. I'm happy to spread the word on that.

    What Has Trump Really Done You As A Member Of The Middle Class?

    Thirty five percent of you are sticking with Trump in spite of a storm of criticism. I need to know why. I will start it off. Trump has replaced NAFTA with something more American worker friendly. Please include executive orders.

    Good post. It boggles the mind to see how thoroughly indoctrinated people have become. I would bet that the right wing have labeled our writings fake news, mostly because the truth is over their heads.

    Executive Time

    You keep referring back to Obama. This isn't about Obama. It's about Trump. Trump gave the wealthiest people in America a tax cut at the expense of the upper middle class in high tax states. There was a report on NBC tonight about a family who got a ten thousand dollar refund last year who will...

    So Obama doubled the debt. It couldn't have been a tax cut and the initiation of two wars six years earlier. It couldn't have been the revenue lost by the worst recession since the Great Depression. Meaning no disrespect, you need to hit the books, and please try to look at Obama more...
