So you believe you have the right to people's hard-earned money? Last time i checked many of us have 401K(s) that are rising is worth so we can retire comfortably instead of depending on your Ponzi-Scheme (#SocialSecurity). Unemployment is low, economy is booming!
There is NO way to trust your retirement plans especially if it’s a 401k or IRA remember #WorldCom and #Enron. @GOP allowing #TooBigToFail
Thank you, @SenatorBaldwin! While trolls are double-talking down this thread, the good working people of Wisconsin are getting wise to the greed and self-dealing of Ryan/Walker/Trump! Keep fighting, and don’t you dare confirm Kavanaugh! We’ll turnout in droves.
YAY, I LOVE THE 1%!! As much as I love fire ants in my pants and making America great again!
Tell me how much money in federal taxes do the bottom 30% pay?
Tell me why that’s relevant. We are CITIZENS who care about FELLOW AMERICANS. I can’t imagine thinking of America so transactionally. What a disgrace!
Because she's bitching, pissing & moaning about the top getting tax breaks and she doesn't understand that the bottom don't pay taxes! You can't get a tax break if you don't pay taxes in the first place. That's why it's relevant!
We’re talking about the bottom 90%. Try to keep up. Plus we ALL pay taxes. Not paying income tax only means not paying one type. Finally, the GOP wants to cut programs that 100% of workers pay into, like Social Security and Medicare. We are ALL invested. You are an elitist.
Top 10 percent pays 53.3 percent of all federal taxes. Looking at just federal income taxes, they pay 68 percent of the burden. Top 1 percent pays 24 percent of all federal taxes compared to 35 percent of all federal income taxes. Now tell me who's not paying their fair share?
@SenatorBaldwin stock buybacks are a good thing for the health of a company. #TaxBreaks are a good thing for #Americans. Now please write these two statements 100 times on a blackboard until they sink into your brain.
My wife and I got a $1,000 bonus, a raise & our family will get a much larger tax refund next year. My wife and I are just regular working folks. Thanks Republican s for the tax cuts! They sure helped us!
What I know for sure is that the Obama economy Created millions of “part time” jobs Increased income inequality Drove people out of living wage jobs GDP grew at a pathetic 1.6% Sent real jobs overseas Raised the cost of healthcare
So when you tax me more, you're raising my wage...?
Stop Lying please. In the 2nd qtr 2018 more personal income tax was collected than ever in history. $1.5T. Because people are working and companies are hiring, expanding and producing because of the TAX CUTS. The scam on America is liberals like you!
You do understand how corporations work, right @SenatorBaldwin? They exist to reward shareholders, not to provide jobs. They may as a side effect employ people, but the purpose of a corporation is to make as much profit as possible, including keeping labor costs at a minimum.
Trust me, Ryan and Trump knew exactly who would benefit from the #GOPTaxScam. What stopped them from passing that money directly on to workers and taxpayers? Greed did.
Yes. And that is a good thing because ECONOMICS! We need a strong economy, and provide corporations with tax reform is the reason the economy is roaring. The issue is that the builder of wealth isn't wages, its saving. The crisis right now is that people aren't investing...
The economy is roaring thanks to Obama. Where’s the “Trump Bump” in hiring, wages, etc? It’s not there. Everything we see today is a straight trend line continuation from 2008. Companies are hoarding cash and using it to enrich execs. You’ve been played.
Facts are facts. No Trump Bump other than driving up stocks because investors know he will protect wealthy over workers. Amazing how you didn’t counter anything I said but made it about party. Sad!
Sorry, but I can't teach you basic economics in 240 characters. Try reading a Milton Friedman book. That will help...
