ace's n 8's has not posted a source for these assertions, but I will assume that they are true.

Tax receipts have usually increased from one year to the next. They have usually increased more when taxes were not cut than when they were cut. They have increased still more when taxes were increased.

That is the balance page that has the info and clearly says that 2018 and 2019 are ESTIMATED.

In 2018, the government’s revenues amounted to $3.3 trillion...hardly an estimate...November 7, 2018

Trump and the Republicans pumped a trillion dollar stimulus package into the economy during a time of prosperity promising economic growth would pay for the trillion dollars they gave to corporations and the 1%. And we all knew that was a lie because its the same thing Republicans do every time they grab power and it has never worked once.

Don't like Trump's plan?
Get Cortez or Saunders plans into place, and see how you like it.

 

NO...NO...NO WAY.

Trumps agenda has proven success's.

For those that dont care for Trumps agenda, it's far better for this country to watch those yo-yo's sqirm rather than watching Obama 3.0 take control.

 

Huh. An expatriate living in Spain knows President Trump's plan for America and its to bankrupt the country.

Looking at the economy, he isn't doing a very good job, is he?

 

US personal income falls; spending weakest since 2009

But the rich got richer. What can anyone expect from a Republican administration?

 

Define "the rich" for us, would you?

 

Government shutdown, cold spells during the winter months...more spending for christmas.

Several reasons for it, and not a damn one of them affect the end game.

 

Rampant jealousy.

 

HELL YES, TAX THE RICH!!! <they say>

But anyone with basic math skills <add, subtract, divide, multiply> can tell you, the rich aren't rich enough to fund the masses.
Basic fucking math. And it ain't even close. The rich don't have enough riches to fund the poor. It's NOT THERE.

Bring on the pie in the sky democrat liberals. OCD says no airplanes! No fossil fuels! No beef! RAH RAH! And fucking other lib demorats fall in line.
WTF?

The dem are going down in flames is they promote this horse hockey.

 

The leftists will never tell anyone how Socialism will affect the economy in the end.

The leftists will never tell anyone how Socialism will affect the crime rates in the end.

The leftists will never tell anyone how Socialism will create a massive central government takeover.

As it has been said, no one ever got a job from a poor man/woman.

Let the radical left keep up their talking points and aspirations....I welcome it.

 

Taxpayers lost $323 billion in deductions under Trump’s tax plan giveaway to the rich: report

Huh.
And Stumbler still doesn't understand the difference between a tax refund and a tax liability.
Jesus

 

90% of Americans would see an increase in their take-home pay as a result.



That still leaves the problem of the deficit. By 2022, federal deficits will top 5% of GDP, something that happened only once between World War II and President Obama's spending spree.

The Congressional Budget Office says that federal revenues in January added up to $362 billion. That's an increase of $18 billion— or 5.2% — from the year before. As a result, the government ran a surplus of $51 billion that month, which is equal to the previous January.

Wait, weren't the tax cuts supposed to bankrupt the country to benefit the rich? It almost looks like the tax cuts — which took effect in January — are paying for themselves.

 

Well, Stumbler apparently still doesn't understand the difference between a tax refund and a tax liability, but here's some news the rest of us will find very positively ............ positive.

Democrats' anti-Trump tax cut talking point just collapsed — tax refunds are up this year

The IRS has released new data about tax filing season that has put weeks of overhyped media stories to rest: Compared to last year, refunds are now up 1.3% on average. Many politicians were quick to jump to conclusions about how tax refund data had proven that the recent tax cut law was a bad idea, but it's turning out that the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act has been on the whole a windfall for taxpayers up and down the income ladder.

This debate was always a bit silly. The size of tax refunds is not a useful metric for evaluating tax liability — realistically, the only thing they effectively measure is how accurate the federal withholding tables and individual withholding decisions were. While it’s understandable that many perceive a significant refund as a windfall, the truth is that tax refunds are an interest-free loan the taxpayer gives the federal government, not some sort of financial bonus.

On the other hand, when it comes to tax liability, the vast majority of American families come out ahead. The Tax Policy Center found that 90 percent of middle class American families would receive a tax cut this year, while the Tax Foundation estimated that middle-class families would receive an average tax cut of 1.7 percent (the most significant reduction of any income level, including the wealthiest).

— for the vast majority of Americans, the TCJA left them with more money in their pocket. If you want to know how tax reform affected you, you’re better off looking at the amount in taxes you paid this year than the size of your refund.
​

So much for the frauds wrong story spew about how the Trump tax reform took money from middle class Americans and gave it to the rich.
Yet again, proof that he's a liar, hypocrite, and fraud. He'll copy and paste anything that bashes Trump, no matter that it is full of spin, twisted facts, and outright lies.

 

Mnuchin Halts Payments Into Two Gov’t Retirement Funds To Avoid Debt Ceiling

*And this is just total bullshit because Congress forces the Postal Service to pay retirement benefits in advance for all employees. Just another Trump/GOP rip off to try and pay for their tax cuts to the rich.
