Americans Paid $90 Billion MORE In Taxes After Republican Tax Cut
Anyone surprised?
Nope... I was warned he year before that if Trump got hiss way I would lose come tax time. I think I took home and extra .20 per check... But lost write-offs that would have saved me thousands.
I have never once complained about having to pay taxes or the amount I pay... Only what it is used for or how it is wasted.
Thankfully, this number actually reflects the increase in people getting employed, thus, increasing the amount of actual income tax the government took in. We need to keep in mind that Corporations don't pay 'income' tax. They pay Corporate Taxes though, that can be offset by any number of ways. Usually it is by reinvesting earnings back into the Corporation by building new plants, distribution centers, research and development, etc. I keep hearing how Amazon didn't pay ANY taxes last year, when in fact they paid 2.6 BILLION, that's with a B folks,, and that doesn't even include what they paid in other countries for their taxes. Here's a good video that explains it pretty well.
Do I feel bad for the supporters that are now losing their businesses and farms? No, not really. His perfidious business practices have been well known for decades. His penchant for falsehoods is famous. His history of being sued for unpaid wages and bills has been public and printed in hard copy news time after time. The hardest part of the con is finding someone willing to set aside what is blatantly obvious for the opportunity to screw someone else over (in this case the desire is to "own the libtards" ). The mark always has to believe they are getting it over on someone else. Self blinded by greed or revenge, they are the only ones in the room that cannot see the obvious con. And even after it is over and they are standing bare naked and holding the proverbial bag, they will not admit it. To admit they have been conned, cheated, swindled, bamboozled is a humiliation from which they cannot recover. And so, no one is surprised. Those seeing the con, and those denying the obvious con, no one is surprised.
This:
is why the wealthy (without a conscience) have nothing negative to say about trump..
This is why the ignorant will hate ‘government’ even more...
This is considered ‘the cost of doing business’ for the religious institutions..
And, This is ‘the cost of freedom’ for our gun fanatics...
