Poor old DonDiego does not recognize an orange god.
In fact, he's pretty much agnostic on the subject of "god" regardless of color.

Kevin Lewis speculates: "DonDiego might be in opposition to the gigantic Trump tax windfall for billionaires and giant corporations that he rammed through in 2018."
2018 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
Owwwww ! This article makes poor old DonDiego's head hurt.

Once again, did tax revenue drop? It did not. You need to be a more critical reader.

Tax revenues have gone up virtually every year since records have been kept. Why? Because the population increases every year, and so does economic activity--with only a very few historical exceptions.
So if tax revenues increased under Trump, that just means he didn't manage, despite his best efforts, to plunge us into a depression.
But he's doing so now! Cheer for your orange god!
The House has a Bill that makes SOcial Security solvent well into the next century. If Democrats win the Senate in November it will almost certainly become law. Why the current Senate doesn't like it? And why dont they have an alternative? Probably for the same reason they dont have a healtcare plan. Republicans aren't good at solutions - they're good at finding fault with Democrat solutions.
But dont worry, DonDiego, help is on the way. But lets be honest - you'll side with the people who have no plan.

Yes, they did. (But not corporate) And so what? The population grew, inflation went up, and most importantly the FED printed 500 billion more borrowed dollars (annually) and injected them into the taxable economy. Thats thanks to increased spending from legislation sponcered by people Boilerman tells us are fiscal hawks.
Repuiblicans borrow and spend money and then brag about how it grew the economy and tax base. Congratulations. And lecture me some more about "free shit".
But the real issue is Larry Kudlow, DOnald Trump and Paul Ryan intentionally and maliciously lied about who their tax-congame benefited. Working schmucks compared to the yacht club saw their tax rate gap increase even more aggressively than the eggregious rules it was on before. Republicans lied...again.
Boiler's kindergarten-level understanding of economic issues makes him focus only on government revenues.
Trump cut taxes in half for the wealthy and big corporations. So what made up for the resultant shortfall? Answer: the average Joe's taxes skyrocketed. Boiler must like that.

Tax rates decreased for all tax tax payers, including Joe. Kevin is still confused, for God's sake.
Kevin posted an article which neither he nor Todd can understand, leading them to claim that tax revenues have decreased. I've posted tax revenue data several times in the past when Todd and Kevin were equally confused. Apparently, this IRS data didn’t help them at all.
Since we’ve gone through this a half dozen times, I'm confident that Kevin and Todd will be making this same incorrect argument within the near future. Todd still doesn't understand how tax revenues have increased. He still believes that the article claims otherwise.
