[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just got our #s from our accountant. We will pay $50k less under the new system compared to the old. $50k! Which is great. But we are not the people who need to pay less. This is not good on a macro level. [/quote]

45% people pay zero or even negative income tax. It's really tough to help them pay less...[/quote]

Not sure of your point. My point, since it blew over your head, is that we are high income and got a pretty big benefit from the changes. Which is great on an individual level. But terrible on a macro level where people like us need to pay more (or at least the same) to support government programs. A huge and growing deficit is not good. It is pure stupidity that we are paying $50k less. [/quote]

At a macro level, the best government program ever is to have a great economy and full employment -- which we have as a consequence of this tax reform, smartly primarily aimed at corporations, not individuals.[/b]

Now, if you want to spend that $50k, nothing prevents you from hiring a publicist and launching a coalition of folks who want to donate more to good causes.

We already had that with Obama, but without the massive additional debt and deficit.[/quote]

I'm an educator. Under Obama's administration, our school system reduced our salary across the board by over 2%, no raise in 6 years, and health insurance premium went up $100/month.[/quote]

Thank you for reminding DC liberals about life outside the bubble.

Also, 
1) Obama increased public debt by 8 trillion, more than all previous Presidents combined
2) The economy by 2015 and 2016 was on a serious decline, threatening another recession

So the comment by previous PP is beyond ludicrous.[/quote]

The only time that you guys give a s*** about that is when there is a democrat in office[/quote]
