I have thought since November, that as soon as people (even Dems who are working and paying taxes) start to get a little more discretionary money due to some tax cuts, Trump’s popularity will soar. It cannot happen soon enough, IMO.

If the Republican Party believes that it will help President Trump, we are not going to get a tax cut. He is having open rebellion waged against him by the Republican Party along with a soft coup directed against him by the Republican Party, the Democrat Party and the alphabet news agencies.

But nobody could see the benefit to unleashing the free market forces on healthcare. Instead the SOBs in congress and the senate give us variants of centrally planned medicine.

I don’t even blame the democrats anymore. They have zero power.
The GOP is pushing Russia in numerous ways. The GOP is refusing to repeal Obamacare. The GOP is refusing his nominations. The GOP is on TV attacking him.

We have the Congress and Senate and a nice position in the Supreme Court. We would be powerless if the democrats held this position.

Ryan and McConnell, McCain, Flake, Graham, Grassley, etc. THOSE are the names I see attacking him.

I hear you. To me it is frustrating. We had a legitimate election. Their guy [Hillary ] lost. They do not like that and now they are inciting a rebellion and rebelling. By they, I mean Republicans. They should be arrested, tried, and hanged by the neck until dead.

“If the Republican Party believes that it will help President Trump, we are not going to get a tax cut.”

That is my worry as well. Their hate of President Trump overrides anything that is good for the country. I think the tax cut bill will be another cluster-f***.

The American people voted for Trump. We want his policies, we want his EO’s, we want his ideas for our country.

We, the American people need to primary every RINO and run aggressive primary campaigns against any “Republican” that refuses to support the president for ones that promise they will.

If we do that, and they still don’t support Trump. Then there’s literally and realistically only one option left to save freedom in America.

If people thought that Trumpcare divided the Republicans then wait until they start working on tax cuts. You are going to get an unsolvable split between those who believe that tax cuts need to be revenue neutral and those who want the cuts regardless of the impact on the deficit.

If there is a tax cut let it openly be for middle class. I have had it with corporate tax cuts and then the next is they re “working with the Democrats” to spend us into bankruptcy, harboring illegal immigrants,tearing down our borders and printing all of the lies in the corporate media.Dem any way. why do we keep championing these people? :et them support us for once.

You and I pay corporate taxes, as they are included in the cost of goods and services we consume. A reduction in corporate taxes is a reduction for us too.

He’s up for re-election in 2022.

When he is 86 years old.

Frankly, he will still be alive, still run, and still win by 10 points.

Then why is it that corporations do everything they can to avoid taxes including moving to lower tax state? Are they really doing it just to help us? The current version of the GOP accomplishes no conservative goals unless it benefits the corporations. Conservatism does not work for Conservatives just the corporate Chamber of Commerce class. Some of it may indeed be passed on but not as much as most people here believe. I used to agree that every tax cut should be considered. But, as we cut taxes the current ruling class seems more inclined to spend and become more inclined with every tax cut. The scum of the country club and their campaigning to turn this country into a Democrat majority just so they can get cheap labor has caused me a massive change of mind. The backstabbers deserve to pay and they deserve to pay a lot. They have supported McCain and Graham. They refuse to invest in media and they of course are “working with the Democrats to get things done” screw them. It is a little hard to pass on after the fact taxes on their income and profits so those are the best.
