These 7 charts show Trump's tax cuts still haven't been the economic 'rocket fuel' he promised, 2 years after the fact
Just over two years ago, President Trump accomplished his signature legislative achievement: the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. It was the biggest overhaul to the nation's tax code in three decades, and the president pitched it as "rocket fuel" for the American economy. Now the Trump administration says it's designing another plan dubbed "Tax Cuts 2.0" to boost growth and benefit the middle class, which it will roll out in the middle of the 2020 presidential election.
The 2017 law permanently slashed the corporate tax rate to 21% from 35% while also providing temporary benefits for individuals and their families. Critics, though, argued it was a windfall for corporations at the expense of the middle class. Meanwhile, supporters of the tax cuts contended it would unleash an economic bonanza. Businesses would invest in their operations, they said, resulting in improved worker productivity and higher wages.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, among others, said the law would juice the nation's gross domestic product to 3% (or more, as Trump said 6%) and soon pay for itself. It's a claim Mnuchin touted at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland through the last week.

Will you be paying the new lower tax fates or the old higher tax rates,Miss Marple?
I suppose I shouldn't hold my breath waiting for any con to tell the truth about Dems, liberals and progressives.
The Burlington Free Press shed light on the truth of the matter, revealing that the money for the summer home came not from campaign donations, but from at least three sources.
Jane Sanders said she and her husband paid cash — $575,000 — for the four-bedroom summer house they recently bought in North Hero on the Lake Champlain shore. She said she sold her share of her family’s long-time vacation home in Bridgton, Maine, to her brother for $150,000, added some money from her retirement account and from an advance her husband got on a book he is writing to come up with the money to buy the couple’s third home.
5 February 2019: Additional information has been added from the Burlington Free Press regarding the payment for the summer house. The purchase amount has been updated from $600,000 to $575,000.

Well, Miss Marple, there are articles showing that the lower taxes did spur economic growth.
You can take this to the bank, jobs, jobs, jobs, and the lowest unemployment rate for Blacks and Hispanics...and everyone in history.
Are you dcpvading the question as to which tas rates you will pay this year, the older higher rates or the new lower tax rates?
Speak right up.
I will be paying what the IRS tells me to pay, Komrade. You?

And so you gomers go out and prove us so very right. It's like we trusted you with the keys to daddy's Audi R9 for the prom and you proceed to run it into the first tree you see.
You elected Trump. You are not worthy of the right to vote, or at a minimum you've tried your hardest to be irresponsible with the franchise.

Except Trump's "base" was big enough to win a national election. I'm saying Bernie can't garner enough support to do that. Hell, he can't garner enough support to win the Democratic nomination.
Ah...Miss Marple, I don’t see how anyone who is so opposed to the new lower tax rates could not, in good conscience, pay them.
I can’t see that.
Then contact Sanders and tell him you want to purchase a share of the house he paid for out of his and his wife's pockets, Mr. Earl.
Btw, I don't need a translation of Spanish words and phrases so feel free to post without taking the extra time.
I don't suppose she will send extra money to the IRS to make a principled stand.
I don't think Bernie will win the nomination so you're preaching to the choir. And trump benefited from the electoral college so he should stop whining about losing the popular vote and savor his win already.
The translation was for those who do not speak Spanish, even those who do not conjugate verbs in Castilian Spanish.
That was ugly, I take it back.
Perhaps the 600K went to repaying debts. Who knows? Lol
I'm not yet in the 1%, Mr. Earl. Perhaps then I'll be singing a different tune.
Here's a breakdown of trump's cuts. Individual rates dropped 2.6%. Corporate rates dropped 14%. Maybe I should incorporate myself, Mr. Earl.
President Donald Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) on Dec. 22, 2017.
It cut individual income tax rates, doubled the standard deduction, and eliminated personal exemptions from the tax code. The top individual tax rate dropped from 39.6% to 37%, and numerous itemized deductions were eliminated or affected as well.
The Act also cut the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% beginning in 2018. The corporate cuts are permanent, while the individual changes expire at the end of 2025 unless Congress acts to renew some or all of the provisions of the TCJA.

Well the DNC isn't trying to help Trump, like Russia is. But the DNC will screw over Bernie and then begrudgingly allow Trump to win.
It appears so...lol

Considering he's been a criminal all his life, I'm guessing law is the one thing he knows. Though if his brain disease really is that bad, he probably asks his lawyers first.

I have a better idea, Miss Marple.
Work hard, 16-18 hours a day, seven days a week, live in your company warehouse, sacrifice time with family...do this for 22 years, sell your business for 27.5 million dollars and retire at age 42. My son and his business partner did this.
Become a one percenter. You can do it too.
