You can state that the earth is flat. Doesn't make it so.
"Every analysis that I have seen says the tax bills hurt the lower income people (some said below 35K, others up to 125K in yearly income) and benefit the rich. "
And SOME of the ones that I have seen, claim it will help the poor and the middle class, and also help the rich.
"If the end result is that someone making less money pays more in taxes and someone making more money pays less in taxes that shows where the Repub. priorities are. "
If that's what happens, I agree with you. I don't know, that's what is going to happen. And neither do you.
Why can't you tell me, how doubling the standard deduction, fails to help the people who utilize that deduction, none of whom are wealthy?
""Your team/side" voted for him when they had many other choices - woman, more conserv, less conserv, minorities"
True. Your team also voted for an ethically bankrupt lizard.
"Bottom line Repub. policies hurt the poor and benefit the rich"
Well with such convincing supporting data, that's a compelling argument.
"Bottom line, 2+2=5".
See what I di dthere.
Sorry Paul, I spent half my life living near New Haven, and the other half working near Hartford. Liberal cities in a liberal state. There is zero evidence that liberalism has helped these people. I have seen firsthand what a generation of pure liberalism has done.
After 40 years of voting for Democrats, the fatherlessness rate among blacks has more than doubled.
Fat lot of good liberalism has done for poor people.
I'm not saying conservatism eliminates poverty either.
