Isn't that what their party is supposed to be about? Trump is beating them at their own game and they don't know how to react I thought he promised his lower income base, tax exemptions for tips and overtime. He promised seniors tax exempt social security. These are vitally important for regular people. He definitely bought some votes with these promises. And if they were a priority, they'd be in the bill. The Suozzi questions and answers are striking to see in transcription. https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-prized-tax-bill-doesn-134032309.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall “On tips—the president said, ‘Your tips will be a 100 percent yours.’ Does this tax bill continue the payroll tax on people’s tips?” asked Suozzi. “Yes it does,” said Barthold. “Overtime. The president said, ‘Your overtime will be tax-free.’ Does this bill continue the payroll tax on overtime?” continued Suozzi. “It does not exempt overtime from payroll tax,” said Barthold. “The president said he’s going to remove taxes from Social Security,” pressed Suozzi. “Does this bill remove taxes on Social Security benefits?” “The legislation provides an increased exception amount—” Barthold began, before Suozzi interrupted. “But does it remove taxes on Social Security benefits?” reiterated Suozzi. “It does not change Social Security,” Barthold said.

Joe Ferguson forever Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago (edited) 5 hours ago, ScotSHO said: You @ssholes want to spend the fed gov't into oblivion, but then whine when the math stops mathing and taxes have to marginally increase. Or in this case stay flat for the end user. Maybe start with the problem and run on a ticket that wants to actually cut the fed gov't goofball spending programs? Dems would get 110% approval ratings if they ran on that, instead of tranny bathroom rights. you do understand that this bill stopped taxes from increasing back to pre trump levels, right? and that D's voted for the tax increase while all R's voted for the decrease. And that the deficit is estimated at $4 trillion with this bill. Also that this is a net tax increase on the poor through more expensive goods via tariffs and higher healthcare costs due to medicaid cuts. trump loves the uneducated: as voters but not enough love to help them financially.

Usually when politicians make election promises they can't keep they try to cover it up a little bit better. 1
