2&2, could the 2017 Giants beat the 1987 Giants?
In fairness, Dem presidents since Reagan have been very pro-Wall Street, too. The Great Distraction is played by both sides, in favor of the rich. Basically, the cartoon above your post is really the whole enchilada.
The tax plan is also finally scraping the final piece of the untouched not quite rich pie. Poor forgotten about, middle class previously raped by tax cuts going to the 1% of 1%, now the next round of tax cuts for the 1% of the 1% paid for by taking away upper middle class savings.
yep.
thanks 2and2 and jhmd, and I know you aren't in the 1% so you must buy that the trickle is coming.
the standard of living has undoubtedly and significantly improved for all over that same time period.
Los Angeles County’s homeless population has soared 23% over last year despite increasing success in placing people in housing, according to the latest annual count released Wednesday.
The sharp rise, to nearly 58,000, suggested that the pathway into homelessness continues to outpace intensifying efforts that — through rent subsidies, new construction, outreach and support services — got more than 14,000 people permanently off the streets last year.
This post may be your most self-contradicting yet. First you say that the comparison should be present to present, not present to past. But then you say that the tax discussion should be present to future impact. So..... if the question is whether past policies have worked, it would seem to make sense that the comparison for analysis purposes should in fact be present to past to help predict present to future. Present to present doesn't appear anywhere in the analysis other than via the aforementioned jealousy.
Present to present is how you gauge current income inequality. Just admit you don’t give a shit about income inequality and call it what it is.
I would assume so. They have to realize that they may lose control of Congress in November, so I think they'll try to push it through Obamacare style.
We need tax reform not to benefit America but to win elections.
If Trump gets rid of the state income tax deduction, House Republicans in CA (14), IL (7), OH (12) and NY (9) could be in trouble. If they end the real estate deduction to give the super rich a tax cut, it could get fun.
