Promises Made. Promises Kept ?

MY taxes increased. My brother's taxes increased. My doctor's taxes increased. My auto mechanic's taxes increased. Most of my teaching colleagues' taxes increased. I'm sure we weren't alone.

I didn't post any article. Boiler once again demonstrates his mental confusion and his love for misrepresenting what other people have said.

This is a pointless discussion---the mechanisms of taxation are fairly easy to understand, but WAAAAAAY over Boiler's and Tom's heads.

Sure Kevin, your taxes increased.  Here is the truth on the changed tax rates.  Did they finally catch you for not really being blind?  Explain to us how your taxes increased in 2018..........the first year that the tax cuts were in effect.  This should be fun.

Sorry, Boiler, I'm not going to give you my personal financial information so that you can sell it to a Russian troll farm.

The change in what deductions I could take resulted in an increase in my taxes. The increased standard deduction did not make up for the elimination of many things I could formerly have itemized. That's all you need to know.

My tax preparer--who knows a LOT more than you--told me that the average increase in Americans' taxes was about 2% overall, but the rich got huge tax breaks and the middle class got royally shafted. We all had to pay for billionaires' taxes being cut in half.

I am sure your "tax preparer" is your lying self, Kevin.

Heh heh. You somehow know who prepared my taxes? How so? Are you a Russian troll-bot?

Clay pigeon *BLAM*

H&R Block disagrees the Kevin.  The Washington Post disagrees with Kevin.  Everyone that has done an objective evaluation disagrees with Kevin.

Hell, I read a lyin' Lib article from NPR, and they put their lyin' spin on the situation.  They mentioned the specific amount of revenue loses due to corporate tax cuts, and they they talked about how total tax revenues, as a percentage of GNP dropped.  This is exactly what Trump predicted..........tax rates would decrease, the economy would jump, and revenues would increase.  NPR told the same BS that Kevin was confused by in his article.  Either the writers are too stupid understand the BS that someone's spinning at them, or they are putting their own lyin' lib spin on things.  Most American paid less.

People now are paying lower rates, but as the economy flourishes, more tax revenue is generated...........just as Regan said and just as Trump said.  Revenue did increase as promised, so Lyin' Libs had to spin it and find a way to hide the truth.

Below is the Washinton Post reporting middle class tax savings.

"2. Promise: The middle class will benefit. Yes, the vast majority of Americans — 65 percent — did get a tax cut. Looking specifically at the middle class, the Tax Policy Center predicted that 82 percent of middle-class earners (households who make $49,000 to $86,000 a year) would receive a tax cut averaging about $1,050."

One should note that 35% of working Americans don't pay a penny in taxes, so it's difficult to give them a tax cut.

''Sorry, Boiler, I'm not going to give you my personal financial information so that you can sell it to a Russian troll farm.''

No doubt. his racist posts are not from a modern American.

He's either some old weird racist type or a bot.

Shit, the Russians shut down many message boards with their anti- American trump love over the last few years.

I trust my tax preparer, a professional, and believe my friends and acquaintances, when they all tell me that Trump's "tax cuts" cost ordinary Americans money---the cuts were for billionaires and huge corporations. I don't trust Boiler when he tries to say differently.

Boiler can be described in one word: obsolete.
