    He's a fucking moron.

    I've used exclusively Treasury's monthly log of statements as the support of my argument.

    It was so damaging that Flash had to lie about it too, because he cannot conceive of a world where his judgment was so poor, he got conned by grifters like Trump and the GOP.

    Poor whiny lying leftist thread troll; how ironic that you think it is anyone else. Cry harder.

    This is rather ironic coming from a brain dead moron desperately trying to argue that the Government needs our wealth more than we do and is entitled to it.

    Were you born a mentally retarded dumb fuck, or just work hard to become one every damned day?

    Yes it does, but it increases wealth disparity because the tax cut usually favors the wealthy and they take the extra money
    the government would have and put it to work for themselves chasing paper profits with no sweat. For every Bill gates who could use angel funding
    to change the world as he did there are 5 million fat old greys who simply plop every next dollar into large cap stocks like P&G or Microsoft.

    See the problem with everything you post, Flash, is that you never source it. That's deliberate.

    Here's actual Treasury Statements.

    When you add up the monthly revenue collections, you find that 2018 lags 2017 by $62B.

    Receipts
    Jan-2017: $344,069
    Feb-2017: $171,713
    Mar-2017: $216,584
    Apr-2017: $455,605
    May-2017: $240,418
    Jun-2017: $388,660
    Jul-2017: $232,040
    Aug-2017: $226,311
    Sep-2017: $348,722
    Oct-2017: $235,341
    Nov-2017: $208,374
    Dec-2017: $325,797
    Total-2017: $3,393,634

    Receipts
    Jan-2018: $361,038
    Feb-2018: $155,623
    Mar-2018: $210,832
    Apr-2018: $510,447
    May-2018: $217,075
    Jun-2018: $316,278
    Jul-2018: $225,266
    Aug-2018: $219,115
    Sep-2018: $343,559
    Oct-2018: $252,692
    Nov-2018: $205,961
    Dec-2018: $313,000
    Total-2018: $3,330,886

    $3,393,634- $3,330,886 = $62,748

    So $62B less was collected in 2018 vs. 2017, which is -2%.

    Now, do society a favor and kill yourself. I'm not even joking about that. There is no good that you bring to the table, or this world. All you do is lie. You're a liar. A pretty sloppy liar too. Lazy and pointless.
    Here are my sources:

    https://www.politifact.com/texas/sta...revenues-did-/

    https://www.crfb.org/blogs/has-revenue-risen-2018

    I knew I shouldn't have used those liberal web sites; the discrepancy is due to those reports being done before the end of the year and not including all revenues.

    Wanting people to kill themselves has me even more concerned about your health. We wouldn't want to lose our token liberal on this forum.

    poor people today also have better tv's then the richest person in the world had in 1980. you fucking retards would argue that as well as it crushes your entire view on things.

    you can apply this thought process to pretty much everything. wealth trickles down. phones. tv's. cars. health care. it is all true.

    So in other words, you rushed through your response without taking the proper steps to vet what you were saying.

    I provided unbiased, non-partisan Treasury statements that show what the actual totals are.

    So the lesson here is that you shouldn't talk about something unless you're 100% clear on the details.

    It's a habit of yours (and not just yours, but cawacko's as well) to not use accurate information in order to paint a false, partisan picture of your fantasy.

    The reality shows that actual Treasury receipts are 2% below what they were for 2017.

    So the argument that the Russia Tax Cut would lead to increased economic activity that would lead to increased revenues is bullshit, isn't it?

    That tax cuts don't pay for themselves. Ever.

    If I had you wrong on that, and that you don't believe cutting taxes increases economic activity, then I apologize and I welcome you to the Light Side of the Force.

    I can, however, show that one health metric, life expectancy, has actually decreased since 1980 for the poor:

    What the dip in US life expectancy is really about: inequality
    While poor Americans are dying earlier, the rich are enjoying unprecedented longevity.

    Ouch. How damaging to your argument.

    So before, when you argued that tax cuts don't pay for themselves by generating increased economic activity, that was you posturing because it's what you actually believe.
