    As a result of tRump conspiring with his antigovernment conspiring GOPer cronies sure the economy is booming for them and their rich buddy's wallet while giving the working and middle class the shaft. This atrocity included huge losses for the working and middle class as a result of their seditious tax so-called law to give their fellow greedy creeps huge tax breaks. Giving tRump unjustified credit who is trying to destroy democracy and the well being of society is like getting pissed on by a skunk and enjoying it:

    Trump and the GOP Tax Plan Screwed Middle-Class Parents Out of a Refund
    Republicans pushed an unpopular tax plan through Congress while billionaires filled their coffers. The obvious outcome is coming to light during tax time: The middle class is screwed.

    I am a father of two in a dual-earner household, sitting smack-dab in the middle of the middle class. It’s February and I am terrified to do my 2018 taxes. It’s not because taxes are hard. It’s not because I’m seeing middle-class Trump supporters become apoplectic on Twitter as they calculate their tax bill. It’s because for the past three years I’ve been a remote worker itemizing my tax returns and, in 2017, House Republicans and President Trump stripped me of crucial deductions. So I hesitate to file. Because I know it’s going to be bad, and I don’t want to find out just how bad."

    WRONG. They are set by price discovery. Obviously you don't understand basic economics.

    They don't have to. They have the workers they need at the wage they pay them. That's called price discovery dude.

    Walmart obviously does. They are one of the most successful retail chains in the world.

    They don't need to. They have the workers they have with the wage they pay them.

    Yup. That's what a period is sometimes called. Doesn't change anything.

    They don't benefit from the welfare system.

    Lame attempt at an insult fallacy. I guess you can't even throw an insult effectively.

    People exactly like you, who can't handle the truth, and have nothing to counter the truth, so they attack people with insults, because they are so weak, all they have are insults!

    That's weak!
    Lie.

    What atrocity? What huge losses? I don't think you've worked a day in your life.

    Everyone had their taxes rates reduced.

    It is justified. He pushed the bill through Congress and he signed it.

    This skunk happens to smell pretty good. Unemployement rates are the lowest since the early 60's. Businesses are doing so well they can't hire enough employees and wages are going up.

    It was popular. The people wanted it. Congress voted for it. Trump signed it.
