Trump/Russia Tax Cut results in lower wages for most workers
- Thread starter LV426
- Start date
So you say.
Yes, because worker wages have declined.
All workers' wages have declined? Are you sure?
We were promised by Conservatives that it would have "an immediate effect".
Paul Ryan said it would be felt in paychecks by February at the latest:
What was promised: Paul Ryan: "Profound" Change To Tax System, Americans Will See Larger Paychecks Beginning In February. "On January 1, Americans are going to wake up with a new tax code. On February 1, they are going to see withholdings go down, so they are going to see bigger paychecks. And April 15 will be the last day they have to comply with the old, bad system. "
Reality: Worker pay in the second quarter dropped nearly one percent below its first-quarter level, according to the PayScale Index, one measure of worker pay.
So you all promised an immediate effect of wage increases, and the opposite turns out to be the case.
Paul Ryan said it would be felt in paychecks by February at the latest.
And was it?
workers would get about $4,000 in wage increases.
What was promised: "My Council of Economic Advisers estimates that this change, along with a lower tax rate, will likely give the typical American household a $4,000 pay raise," Drumpf said.
Reality: During the three months following passage of the tax bill, the average American saw a $6.21 increase in average weekly earnings. Assuming 12 weeks of work during the three months following passage of the corporate tax cuts, this equates to a $75 increase. Assuming a full 52 weeks of work, the $6.21 increase in weekly earnings would result in a $323 annual increase, nowhere near the minimum $4,000 promised and $9,000 potential annual increases projected by President Drumpf and Speaker Ryan if significant cuts were made to corporate tax rates.
So the words you're looking for are; "I'm sorry LV426 to have wasted your time feeding my sea-lion tendencies, I am an abject turd who is nothing and who has amounted to nothing and I come on these boards to feel better about myself".
They have? Everyones wages?
On average, yes.
So you all promised an immediate effect of wage increases, and the opposite turns out to be the case.
I don't recall making any promises. Are you feeling faint? Is there an adult nearby who can summon medical assistance for you?
So you say.
So this is Legion code for; "I know you're right, but don't want to admit it because I'm fearful of how you will respond, and the effect your response will have on my fragile ego."

On average, yes.
On average, yes.
So you say.
Looks like your original claim was exaggerated, doesn't it?
Trump/Russia Tax Cut results in lower wages for most workers
And was it?
Nope. Worker pay has declined, and most people say they haven't seen an increase in their paychecks.

You support this policy, so that makes it yours and the promises of it yours.

According to Vox?

Non sequitur.

Think so?
So you say. ooks like your original claim was exaggerated, doesn't it?
Nope. Not at all. Not exaggerated at all.
Just like I said, most workers have seen lower wages:
Worker wages drop while companies spend billions to boost stocks
Face it; your fiscal policy is just as bankrupt as your morality.
Nope. Not at all. Not exaggerated at all. Just like I said, most workers have seen lower wages.
According to one report?
According to Vox?
Nope, according to "A Politico/Morning Consult poll", just like the link says.
So you didn't click on the link, did you?
What a lazy parasite.
Non sequitur.
You're not using the phrase correct here.
In fact, you're making a non sequitur.
Nope, according to "A Politico/Morning Consult poll", just like the link says.
A poll?
How do you know people were telling the truth? Was the poll oversampled to skew the results?
