Then you need to get some tax advice.
Then you need to get some tax advice.i pay a higher percentage of my wages in taxes than the hyper-rich do, and can less afford to do so.
Only 'cause you pay a pittance in tax. Or live in a high tax state and couldn't deduct your state and local taxes.
ludin....I notice that you now add the qualifier about overcoming the standard deduction. I have been saying that all along....I'm a simple guy...all of this semantic about liability, and such, all I know is last year I got back $400 which was about breaking even, and this year I owe $1600.....Now you consider how that effects a household that for intents and purposes, lives pay check to pay check, and you tell me why I should feel comforted that because I got back $40 per week during the year, that I am not giving it all back now? How did that help me?
since the tax cuts for the rich didn't do much for the middle class, the Trumpist party shifted it so that the worker bees would get their former refund distributed throughout the year. i hope that people are pretty pissed about it and vote against every Trumpist candidate.
Except that wages have been rising at near record rates and with demand for labor increasing wages still have room to grow.Average numbers in any field (including wages) are misleading when the income distribution is not normal and there is very high inequality.
As for the unemployment, it continues the trend of the previous year. The concerning thing is that despite the fact that it is very low and approaches full employment (as you may know we can never have 0% unemployment), this does not seem to give workers any particular leverage. If workers cannot increase their wage substantially in a 3.9% unemployment economy, they have a serious problem.
And spent large amounts in employee wages and benefits and capital expenses as well. Oh, and that trillion dollars the spent in buybacks goes into the economy as wellpamak said:Companies simply used the tax cut for buybacks which is good for about the upper 50% of the population which has an interest in the stock market
U.S. companies spent record $1 trillion buying back own stock this year - CBS News
Nonsense, with wage growth and expanding job growth they stand a great chance of improving their quality of life and prosperity. Medicare cuts are from attempts to cut fraud and waste, recipients will never see the effect. Medicare and Social Security have their own problems with looming unfunded liabilities.pamak said:The guys who will eventually pay for this tax cut are the ones at the bottom 50%. You already see the signs with the proposed budgets trying to cut medicare by about a trillion in the next decade.
See what I mean? Your personal story doesn't invalidate his. That's the moronic way in which you lose an argument, every single time.I got a tax cut. I am not rich. your argument is yet again wrong.

already addressed.
Except that doesn't happen.This is why populist messages like Bernie's resonate with so many people. A person making 1000$ a week and losing 150$ in taxes feels that monthly 600$ of taxes a month a lot more than someone making millions and having millions after taxes.
No, I don't. Please read my post first, THEN replyHatuey said:Bullseye though calls a 'pitance' the money that could go towards someone's bills, small business, or even their child's education.
Which is why Republicans fought to lower tax rates, build businesses and create millions of new jobs. While all the dems promise is more free stuff they can't even explain how to pay for.Hatuey said:Republicans have convinced their masses that poor people are poor because of bad decisions and not because everyone of us lives in an economy where the hyper-rich can control the rules of engagement for themselves and everyone else.
Keep wishing.Hatuey said:Get ready guys, 2020 is going to sting.

he said only rich people got tax cuts and nothing for the middle class

i already have that. if i were to run for office, i would also be able to release my returns unlike some room temp IQ dullards who paint themselves orange.

Thanks for keep the discuss on an intellectual level. :roll:
offers nothing as to why it is bad or hurting people just says that it is without context or anything else.
Where are the business tax returns? where are the statements showing how much they paid last year to this year
and if it went down. none of that is list in there they just state ol it is bad. dismissed.

Again nothing that says there is any harm done.

busts your article all to pieces. you should do more research.
nothing the idiot leftists in the country says is meaningful in anyway so why did you even post it?
I did understand it. unlike you who thinks that tax returns mean anything. They don't.
Once people get their with holding figured out and lower their allowances they will be fine.
it still has no impact on their tax liability. which you have yet to actually discuss.
let me know when you actually want to engage in honest discussions because that will never
happen with you. I don't see why you would start not.
tax return =/= tax liability.
Split posting? I must have hit a vein. Don't worry, you will be whining when the 2020 elections don't turn it how you wish they did.
The only things you'll have to blame are calling the taxes poor people pay 'pitances'.

Agreed, all I am going with is demographics - not enough to make a prediction.You know, I do not underestimate the partisanship of voters and their willingness to make political decisions based on their feelings and not based on facts. I stopped trying to make predictions about elections after I saw Bush win a second term despite the fact that by that time everybody knew that the war in Iraq was based on lies or massive incompetence at the very least!
Hilarious. Trump gives a massive tax cut to the 1% and his followers can't figure out why it didn't help them.
I don't see where you libs are coming from. My taxes were lower, my daughter who owns a restaurant says all her staff made more, and kept more than previous years. She is a staunch supporter of Trump, primarily because he's been good for business. The tariffs had minimal impact (food costs did not skyrocket). She getting ready to open a second restaurant. She said under Obama there was no way she would make that step.

How does you doing well refute the fact that there are millions of right winters who won't see a benefit from Trump's tax cuts?
Don't worry, I want you to double down.
Jury of peers moment for you, ludin.

What does being a "right winger" have to do with the size of the tax cut? Was there a special deduction for Conservatives? Damn! I missed that one for the last forty years!
your blatant lie about how I used that word is shameful and dishonest. Par for the LW.Split posting? I must have hit a vein. Don't worry, you will be whining when the 2020 elections don't turn it how you wish they did.
