Bob Corker

A man of principle.

A man of principle.

But apparently no interest.

A man of principle.

A man with no understanding of economics and a man who will put his hate for the President above the economic welfare of his fellow Americans.

Do you think this tax plan is good for MOST Americans?

Obviously people who buy in to the theory of voodoo economics believes it is.

Too bad Jeff Flake was more concerned about DACA residents than the middle class. It's the only reason he voted for it, so he says.

I'd love to know where the outrage is over this tax plan is from the right and botany boy who vacillates all over the place so he can point his finger from everywhere and claim to be so fuckin clever.

I doubt there many, if any that this plan helps.. not only that, but the whining about THE DEFICIT under Obama, just doesn't seem so important any more. What a bunch of asshole hypocrites.

The irony of the GOP claiming this same method worked under Reagan so it should be used now.

The idiocy of anyone who thinks it didn't work under Reagan.

This country was circling the drain in the late '70s and early '80s.



Do you even know what marginal tax rates were back then ?
People were doing unbelievably crazy and uneconomic stuff (tax shelters and other tax motivated stuff) that was incentivized by punitive tax rates.

It will be after the Conference Committee does away with phasing in the new Corporate rate over years and instead makes it immediate, as the House intended in their plan. Phasing it in over years will fail because it means there will be no certainty in support of current corporate planning and therefore no immediate economic benefit. It will be a good plan for most Americans who produce goods and services and who actually pay taxes.

Corker and the deficit hawks who now dominate the CBO and worry about how the tax breaks will be "paid for" are not based in economic reality but instead on their belief that government decides how all assets in America are to be distributed and that government cannot be made to adjust spending to fit the changing economic realities demanded by the real owners of the country. In addition, they don't understand the economic history of the United States that clearly demonstrates tax cuts produce record revenues for the government through increases in production and new economic activity, driven by lower production costs of doing business in the first place.

An apt description of the entire Lit BroPatrol whackpack during the Obama years.

We'll see what the people think, won't we? Not a single Democrat voted for a tax cut for Americans.

US National debt =

$10 trillion = 1789 - 2008 | George Washington - George W. Bush

America's first 219 years: avg = + $45.66 billion / year


$20 trillion = 2009 - 2016 | Barrack Obama

America's 8 Obama years: avg = + $1.25 trillion / year


US National Debt =

$20.224 trillion - January 21, 2017
$20.576 trillion - December 3, 2017

America's first Trump year = + $351 billion

4 years @ $351 billion per = + $1.404 trillion
8 years @ $351 billion per = + $2.808 trillion

If that simple projection panned-out, the US National Debt would've grown around 15% after 8 Trump years, compared to it exploding 100% during Obama's 8 years. That's 85% less National debt during the exact same time period, folks.

Of course it'll never happen, but it does give one some, uh, perspective.

GB progressives usually find plenty to bigotly hate about old, white, Amendment II-loving, pro-life/anti-baby killing, Presbyterian Republican Senators from Tennessee...

Hmmm, whatever could be different about Corker? What could GB progressives possibly admire about him all of a sudden now?

We know what

Good thing there's no law against progressive cucks so sissily exposing their partisan hack panties in public - again.

Translation: We don't care about adding 1.4 TRILLION dollars to the US debt because Republican.

We'll see what the people think, won't we? Not a single Democrat voted for a tax cut for Americans making way more than most of whom voted for 45 will never see.

Better, now.

Are you kidding ?

What was inflation in 1980 ?

Where were interest rates in 1980 ?

Now that you do what you always do ascribe falsity to what I say, let me explain. It's relief for actual taxpayers not a welfare program for non-productive people like you, Luk.

Or, not a single Democrat voted to increase our staggering debt.

Well, I'll do no more than completely disagree with you. I think trickle down economics has never worked, and won't this time. The widening income gap is going to explode even more, and it's already so bad that the top 5 in this country are worth nearly half of everyone else combined. If you think that is a good thing, there's no way we could find common ground.

Rubio says that part the tax breaks for the rich will be paid for by cuts in Medicare and Social Security.. Unless you're a bullshit billionaire like my mile high friend from Ghetto Californee who will not need either, then it will affect you, me and everyone else.

Thinking that this is good for MOST Americans is outright lunacy, IMO.

Translation: We don't care about adding 1.4 TRILLION dollars to the US debt because Republican.

99% of corporate tax windfalls will go to shareholders (many foreign banks and sovereign funds) as dividends and premiums. The remaining 1% will buy-up competitors (easier and cheaper than developing new products) and fire surplus workers. Ain't none of it going for new jobs.

Let's siphon terabucks away from workers to further enrich the rich. Right. Let's impoverish the nation, destroy its political system, and reduce the population to vassalage. Check. And don't forget the God-Emperor's royal dynasty. It's for the kids.

$1.4 trillion over the next 10 years...

While your Manifesto-mate racked-up $10 trillion in just 8.

Why ain't that plenty enough for you to suck on, seaniepoo? Why are you ALWAYS seeking more to gobble?
