    When the economy is good it doesn’t mean it’s good everywhere. When the economy is in recession there are people/groups that do very well. It’s the nature of the beast

    I seriously doubt any of those people have payed taxes in the last 10 years, if ever. And I'd like to ask them if this is something new for them or if they have been doing things like this for years

    See how the Conservative argument has shifted on their tax cut...what used to be pitched as a universal good has devolved into a position that everyone is just too dumb to see the benefit of the Russia Tax Cut that increased many workers' liability while nominally affecting after-tax income.

    Remember, back in December 2017, y'all said the Russia Tax Cut would raise wages by $4K-$9K.

    So you were bullshitting.

    We were having a very good economy here in Alaska during the Great Recession. In a recession for now.

    The problem is that you all pitched your Russia Tax Cut as a universal good, and that it would pay for itself in increased economic activity.

    Turns out it didn't pay for itself, and it wasn't a universal good...just like we said.

    Lol, not only that, but a few people lining up for free stuff, is no way to gauge an economy. None of the people in that picture look like they are starving to death or anyting. And how are we to know that picture is even what it claims to be? I call BS

    The Russia Tax Cut was supposed to raise everyone's wages by $4K-$9K.

    What happened there?
