If that's the case should we expect to see democrats who have their taxes cut returning their money to the federal treasury?

Haven't Democrats said that they would have no problem paying more in taxes if it went to (fill in the blank program) they supported. More than one has said they'd be happy to pay a little more in taxes so people could have healthcare coverage. Wonder if they'll follow through or take a reduction in taxes that will be coming their way?
 
Hey, if it works, the GOP will reap the rewards.

The results will be clear enough, either way. It's a GOP bill, no Dem support, so it will be a pretty clear guideline for elections in the near future.

Is that a prediction Thingy?

Will you voluntarily pay more in taxes as a sign of your disgust with this bill? Or will you secretly enjoy getting to keep more of your own money?

Maybe you and Cawackjob can form a support group and hug it out?

I bet those that claim it won't work will still vote for Democrats.

Wonder how many that oppose the bill will voluntarily send the greater amount they get back to the federal government.

Will you reward Republicans with your vote?

You sound so ticked off. Shouldn't you be happy today?

You should tune into the news - all of the politicians are bowing down to Trump in the most obsequious display I can remember. It's a time to rejoice.

(Reuters) - The Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives gave final approval on Wednesday to the biggest overhaul of the U.S. tax code in 30 years, sending a sweeping $1.5 trillion bill to President Donald Trump for his signature.

In sealing Trump's first major legislative victory, Republicans steamrolled opposition from Democrats to pass a bill that slashes taxes for corporations and the wealthy while giving mixed, temporary tax relief to middle-class Americans.

This is supposed to be reportage by Reuters but they couldn’t help but put the spin on it.

At any rate, the historic tax reform bill gets passed without a single democrat vote.

Political ramifications?

Fucking disgusting bullshit, a) the lower and middle classes are getting a disproportionately higher share of the tax cut as a percentage, the top 5% may actually get a tax increase if they live in a blue state, and the only reason why the individual tax cuts are going up for a revote in 2025 is because of Robert Byrds Senate Budget Rule which requires 60 votes to make them permanent, in other words they are temporary because 10 Democrats refused to cross the aisle to put more money in the pockets of the middle class.

I'm just a kid with Google and I know this, and that laughable propagandist calls himself a journalist? They are the equivalent of the Nazi ministry of propaganda of that there is no longer a single doubt.

Looks to me as if you can't answer a simple question.

The question is simple-minded & irrelevant.

You & ILA believe strongly in symbolism (at least selectively). I don't, at all. If either of you can show me how me sending my fairly paltry extra $$$ back to the gov't will change the generational responsibility for the cost, I'm all ears.

Your excuse in refusing to answer shows you have a simple mind.

You're all mouth.

It's not about symbolism. If all you lefties sent it back, it would amount to something. Not because any of you are capable of making very much but there are a lot of you and it adds up.

Nah; it's absolutely symbolism.

Let's set some parameters:

Are you claiming that I have not advocated for spending cuts?

If I can produce evidence that I have, will you admit how dumb it was that you asked ME for proof, if you doubt what I'm claiming?

Your claim was ALWAYS. You can't provide proof of that. It isn't possible. Since you can't provide it, are you willing to admit how much of a dumbass you are for stating you could do something that can't be done?
