No, your post is the epitome of blind partisan hackery.
First of all, we were told that this would be a middle class tax break, which as it turned out was a lie. Secondly, corporations received a huge tax break and we were told that jobs would be created. However, as we knew, the money saved by these companies went to stock buy backs, dividends and executive compensation. Exactly what happened with Bush tax cuts.
Little of any went to the workers, in fact 3% or less received salary increases or bonuses. Now we hear that Trump and the Congress want to give billions more because long term capital gain rates are too high at 20%.
Then it really doesn't have anything to do with Trump. You just want to vote anti-Republican.
It has a lot to do with Trump. I want to put obstacles in his way at the polls and to punish those who put us all at risk by giving him control of the military.
Basically, are you voting for Democrats?
and don't sleep with pornstars, they already have a leg up.
I'm middle class and I got a tax break. My wife is middle class and she got a tax break. Methinks you read far too much left wing propaganda.
Pure jealously that someone got more than someone else. Since the rich paid the huge majority of the taxes then it is understandable that when taxes are cut, the rich get higher tax cuts than the poor. They still pay the huge majority of the taxes and the poor still got tax cuts.
I have a pet theory that the reason that Congress went to the Republicans in 2016 is that the people "knew" that Clinton would win, and wanted a Republican Congress to constrain her. I believe much the same motive will be involved in how people vote this November.

Interesting. You do know that what most of what a President wants to accomplish has to be passed by Congress. There are people running for Congress that are D, R, and I, that do not support President Trump in all of his ideas. So you are going to just vote D without looking at who is the best candidate. Your choice. Not mine.
(side note. I did not vote for Trump).
Trump and Trump supporters are destroying this country. That is fact.
You support having a president that sends non-stop tweet attacks
The majority if Republicans support Trump. All Dems oppose him. He needs to be stopped regardless of the consequences. It is funny how trash like Trump can change things. I have always voted for the candidate, not the party. My entire life. These are different times. I've never blindly donated money to a political party either but the last 18 months I am giving. I've never volunteered for any party - this summer I have been. (side note. I did not vote for Trump either, or Hillary. I wrote in Kasich who I believe was the best candidate and we see what that got us). So this election cycle - and the next few elections for me are not for a person - they are against a person and the party that supports him. 100%. I also encourage as many people locally and in my friends/family circle to get out and vote who only get out in presidential elections. He has to be stopped.
Just stating the fact. If you look at the threads on this forum there are faaaaaaaaaaaaar more troll posts from the left than there are from the right. But, I do acknowledge that both sides do it. Do you?
Moreover, half of that tax-cut bonanza for the middle class was eaten away by rising gasoline prices.The average tax cut for the middle 20 % of the population was 780 $ a year, or 15 bucks a week. Source: https://www.taxpolicycenter.org/sites/default/files/publication/154006/the_effect_of_the_tcja_individual_income_tax_provisions_across_income_groups_and_across_the_states.pdf). That means that about half of all taxpayers got less than that. Not terribly exciting, nor is it going to have a real impact on those families. That is why republicans are not running on it.

Trump and Trump supporters are destroying this country. That is fact. You support having a president that sends non-stop tweet attacks and constantly divide. When you hold that POS accountable for what he does, then I'll consider what you have to say. Until then, handle YOUR side first, then speak to me.

In fairness we sleep with porn stars on occasion too we're just less judgemental and not preachy about while we ourselves are doing it.
That is an opinion, not a fact. Please do not confuse the two. It is also hyperbole. America has survived for over 200 years because we can handle the occasional terrible president. Trump is a terrible president, but when you overstate your case, you actually help his supporters.
That is your choice.
In some cases my vote will cancel yours :lamo
What a stupid question, why should this country stand by when the tax system is designed to move all the main wealth of this country into the hands of the wealthy Reagan's trickle down lie, what did people think was going to happen when the top tax bracket went from 70% to 28%. What happened since then all profits other then pennies of gone into the hands of the wealthy. and the working people in this country got a little more then nothing , to nothing , to less then nothing. While the wealthy had income raises of 100%.Basically, are you voting for Democrats?

I prefer not paying for sex, so I expect the same from my leaders.
