Thurmal34 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Prez promised. Is it happening? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakeYouToTasker Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 When the term "middle class" was coined it represented those making upwards of today's equivalent of about $250k a year. They weren't wealthy, but they also certainly weren't considered working class; hence: "middle class". I assume, however, that isn't the group you're talking about. Please define the term.

It's your job, as the question posed was yours; and it's impossible to answer unless you're specific about who you're talking about. This shouldn't be hard. Define "middle class".

BeginnersMind Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 (edited) He said the vote would happen after the mid terms. Of course no one knew about it but that’s his style. I have no problem with more cuts but this is looking a lot like Bush economics. Cut the tax revenue and not the spending. With the divided Congress, he ain’t getting that done. The Rs had their window for fiscal responsibility and blew it again. The Ds are not about to help.

leh-nerd skin-erd Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 The enacted tax cuts resulted in a substantial reduction in my estimated tax. I hired another employee. There is a noticeable increase in new construction, employment and overall confidence in the economy in my little slice of the world. Word on the street is that there are a ton of basement remodels going on, so there is something literally for everyone, even the Sanders supporters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try not to get too personal in these posts, but yes. She even used the full length version to give the appearance of a room above-grade. She saw it on "Flipping the Basement" and told him it "gave texture and customized the space". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No - Trump over promised and under delivered but he did manage to prioritize his friends and screw the middle class as usual… but “he’s the best POTUS ever.” But wait - be sure to vote for the same GQP that is already promising a tax increase on the middle class.

SoCal Deek Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 ‘You people’ crack me up! Everyone loves to take pot shots at everyone else’s tax rates so long as they aren’t in that bracket. In a nutshell….for those who missed it, or were still in junior high, Obama raised the tax rate on the uppermost wage earners on the premise that it was all for the cause during the Great Recession. The Trump tax cut brought the rate right back down again when the Recession was over. How is this difficult to understand? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People don’t realize that Trump gave a huge tax break lower income people by doubling of the standard deduction. But Orange Man Bad so they just assume he only gave tax breaks to the rich. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
