Smh.

Blue state vision? You mean the blue states subsidizing the red states?

+1 I don't mind paying more for taxes to subsidize the poor and important spending like Medicare and education. I do mind paying more taxes while Ivanka and the Mercers get tax cuts worth hundreds of millions.

And google, and Facebook, and yahoo, and amazon...

About two-thirds of Americans, 68 percent, say they paid the same or more in taxes for 2018 than the previous year, while less than a quarter said they paid less, according to a new Hill-HarrisX survey.

The survey results show individuals' perceptions about their taxes for 2018, the first year of President Trump's tax law. The survey was conducted in the days leading up to Monday, the deadline for taxes to be filed in most states.

Fully 36 percent of Americans in the poll said they paid the same amount in federal taxes last year than in 2017, while 32 percent said they paid more. Another 18 percent said they paid less.

The survey found that the more money individuals made, the more they tended to believe they paid in federal taxes. For example, 46 percent of respondents earning $125,000 or more a year said they owed more in 2018, compared to 33 percent of people making between $50,000 and $75,000 who said the same. Among those making $25,000 a year or less, 17 percent said they paid more to the government

I loved them. As an individual who does not own a house (got divorced last year), I only paid $8,250 on $360K of income. Last year I paid $21,000 on $250K of income. Yeah Trump. Just kidding. I hate Trump. I don't mind paying higher taxes.

“My kids are owing the government back money, that the government gave them, because their dad died, and my kids have to pay it back," Jones told Task & Purpose. "And every year this comes around and it's just this reminder of this tragedy, and it's literally like throwing salt in the wound."

Military widows and widowers who put their benefits in their child's name saw a significant spike in their taxes this year. To make matters worse, Jones, along with three other military widows who spoke with Task & Purpose, said they were not aware how much their taxes would increase and were unable to budget or otherwise prepare for the hike in cost.”

How is that possible? All unearned, tax-free income?

The tax plan screwing over Gold star families isn't a good look for the Trump tax plan.

And now, for the rest of the story

The Congressional Research Service—which is nonpartisan, independent, and highly-respected—just published a report that dismantles claims that the GOP tax law is doing much good for the economy.

Bottom line, the GOP's latest massive tax cut for the wealthy didn't pay for itself, didn't boost growth, didn't raise wages, didn't do anything, really -- it was garbage policy transparently designed to put a big windfall in oligarch pockets.

Sigh. Bringing a new definition to "voodoo economics." Republican policy is bad for your financial health. *unless you're a billionaire or some other form of politically connected oligarch.

My 401k is pretty non-partisan, and up 35% since the 2016 election.

My job is pretty non-partisan too, and making 20% more.

Your anecdote is not data. And only 32% of Americans have a 401k. But let them eat cake!
