So, What Will Democrats Do When The Tax Bill Becomes More Popular?
Townhall ^ | December 20, 2017 | Matt Vespa

Posted on 12/20/2017 5:11:16 PM PST by EdnaMode

As Guy wrote, this tax reform bill, the most extensive in 30 years, is a tax cut for the middle class. It will create a better job creating and investing climate. Even The Washington Post noted that for 80 percent of Americans, they’re getting a tax cut, contrary to the Democratic warnings that this is Armageddon. Right now, they’re confident that this bill will sink Republicans in the midterms. They see the polling. Yeah, it’s bad, but it can only get better—and we’re still many, many months away from the midterm elections. A lot can happen in the interim. So, what will Democrats do when this bill becomes more popular, when Americans see relief, when they see bigger paychecks, when they see, as CNN’s John King noted, more factory workers being hired? Not a single Democrat voted for this reform—not one. With this bill slated to become law, that means the Democratic Party is against tax relief for working class families, against economic growth, and didn’t understand what a couple hundred dollars in relief means to a working class family. It’ll show that their only economic agenda is tax and spend. Again, not too shocking since the Democrats are moving away from the centrist triangulation strategy of the Clinton era. They’re returning to the left wing. Yet, the GOP knows how much is riding on this bill and its success, which is why they’re priming millions to win the messaging war on it (via WaPo) [emphasis mine]:

But here’s the truth: 8 in 10 Americans will pay lower taxes next year, according to the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center’s analysis of the final bill. Only 5 percent of people will pay more next year.

They'll just have to go back to using identity politics.

They never left that.

One thing they will NEVER do is to admit they were wrong.

Nearly all of the 5% that pay more will be in California, New York, and Illinois.

First, they will deny that it is popular. If it gets to the point where they can’t, they will denigrate people who are happy with it and call them stupid. If that doesn’t work, they will go with “sure, it’s great now, but down the road you’re gonna have sell your organs for bread when it all collapses”. After that.... who knows...

From what I understand, they just repeated what George W bush did thanks to Rubio. It sounds like he is giving out more tax refunds to those who never paid in.

In time, there will be another Democrat president that raises taxes on everyone but keeps those handouts for the non-contributors.

The men will get frustrated and molest more males, or in rare cases females.

Pity the democrats. Now that people will actually be seeing more money in their wallets, they aren't going to want to trade that in for racial grievances.

The only place grievance mongering might work is with those who have decided to remain permanently wards of the state — habitual users EBT, Welfare, WIC, and Section 8. They don't pay taxes anyway, but they want to keep their "free" stuff.

Unlike the GOP-e, they had a fear this was going to be the result.
They fought like caged animals knowing that Reagan II was a real possibility.
Now soon to be reality.

Sheesh.

They will lie about the facts. That's what they always do.

The Left has been taken over by Post-Modernism...reality is what you say it is.

That is the dividing line of his war.

Reality (True Reality) versus Relative Reality.

Here is the defining phrase of this war...

"You have to pass this bill to learn what is in it."

Translation in Post-Modern Speak: You have to embrace this reality before you can recognize it.

This is the 60's mantra.

"Turn on, tune in, drop out."

The Democrats and Republican Establishment think Trump is going to be President for a short time or not be reelected.

Drag out Gloria Allred and her goofy daughter and a bunch of paid for bimbo story tellers. They will never do anything other than peddle lies with the help of their activist group the MSM.

They will organize another mass casualty attack. Plenty of time before Christmas.

Expect it around the time of President Trump's signing of the bill.

The most stupid thing I’ve heard today...that this just cost us $1.5T dollars, and that “my grandchildren are being robbed”. Seriously....after Obama, racking up more debt than all prior President’s combined. Now they’re concerned?

Hypocrites.

They’ll continue to lie like they always do. Unfortunately, the brainwashed zombie libtards will believe those lies despite the fact that they take home more pay each week. You can’t fix stupid.

The Rats will become violently enraged and hysterical, and then they will sink into a massive collective deep clinical depression. Life will not be worth living.

The only real solution for these perpetually angry and depressed @h*les is to off themselves. Seriously.

“It sounds like he is giving out more tax refunds to those who never paid in.”

That’s how I understand it. Welfare.
