115th Congress - Still 100% Roy Moore Free

Obviously it’s a terrible bill. The difference I’m talking about is child tax credits with a 21% corporate rate vs. nothing for me with a 20% rate. Given those 2 options, I’ve got my hand out.

Yeah, $900 a year (which is nothing) vs. the destruction of America. It's a clear choice.

That’s not the choice. America is being destroyed whether or not the Poors are granted a small concession. Do you think lowering the corporate rate from 21 to 20 will save the country? It’s negligible.
Would you rather have 100% of the benefits going to the rich? That doesn’t seem nice.

LOL
It wasn't going to pass until they conceded that $900. Now it is. Everything that gets this bill to pass is a destructive force no matter who it benefits.

The rubes aren't lapping it up though. Is there any demographic aside from "country club billionaires" and "hedge fund dudes" who support this tax bill? It can't just be Dems making it the most unpopular piece of legislation in at least the last 30 years.

The idiots will eat it up when they see their $1000.

Oh it was going to pass no matter what crap is in there, as long as the super rich are gaining the bulk of the benefits. That was the goal all along. We’ll be lucky to be left with a few little crumbs.

there's a good buck in that racket.

Re: 115th Congress - Still 100% Roy Moore Free
I’m honestly surprised if the thing you guys are most infuriated about in this whole mess is that families under the 50k median are getting a tiny little crumb of the giveaway. By far the bulk of the benefits are going to the rich.

Comcast backed off their commitment when it was announced that this was a sure thing.
Take a gander at the future of the Internet thanks to MEO Internet in Portugal.

Think about it. Now think about voting patterns and how stupid people are. Now you get it? It needs to be as awful as it can possibly be or they'll hoodwink everybody again. This isn't hard.

Well, everyone was warned. Just more money to the 1%. Typical. This has to be the stupidest ****ing nation on Earth.

families making under 50k are not paying a lot anyhow. so even if you take 100% tax cut of that is isn't going to compare to a cut of any substantial amount for higher incomes.
who will be the first person to rightfully claim that balancing the budget
rolleyes should start with defense?

66% of Republicans support the bill. That will go even higher if it is passed because then it is just points on the scoreboard to them.
It's like Net Neutrality, which Republicans also support because of braindead deflections like "get yer Soros gubbmint outta ma internet!"
The rubes will buy anything with an R stuck on it. They have been trained by 25 years of Fox and Hate Radio to reflexively hate anything D and love everything R, no matter how much it harms the country and even them.

Yep, still here
Re: 115th Congress - Still 100% Roy Moore Free
I like that less and less people identify as Republican, meaning that that 66% isn't going to be enough outside of primaries.

I got into a lengthy argument with a friend on Facebook (yeah, yeah, that's like two strikes against my better judgement) because he was so hellbent that this was a good move.
He was adamant that "the internet was just fine twenty years ago, it'll be fine tomorrow." He thinks that the cable co's won't do anything like MEO in Portugal. I fear it's a slippery slope that they were already headed down, and Cable Co's needed to be told to quit being d!cks.
After many failed analogies that he plowed through with his thinking, I finally asked "next are you going to tell me we need to eliminate National Park land because 'It's been weeds and dirt for decades, no one will build a Wal-Mart here ever?"
I haven't gotten a response yet.
