        The fact that people will receive a small decrease in their taxes is of little consolation when our deficit explodes due to the MASSIVE tax reduction that the wealthy are receiving!

        Sure, looks good for next year. That’s the way it’s set up. In five years, the middle class will be paying more than ever. You know this.

        Senator, you have to know this is far more complicated than whether or not some people get some tax relief — what does that relief really cost them?

        Big deal Lankford. How about cutting out the middle (trickle) man? If we simply split the $1.5Trillion between every tax filer in the bottom 95%, each filer would receive $11,450 each. 1.5T/131M filers = $11,450. That's how you spur spending & the economy, not giving to the rich.

        I’m sorry but this just illustrates how out of touch you are with your constituents. This doesn’t address our concerns about the deficit, the massive breaks for the wealthy, and the damage to healthcare, Social Security etc. All this tells me is you still aren’t listening.

        Your constituents problem isn't that we don't understand the bill, it's that the tax cuts that actually benefit the middle class and poor are not permanent where as the the tax cuts that just benefit the rich and corporations are permanent.

        How about not cutting taxes at all and reducing the debit R's have bitched about for the last 8 years? Spend the dollars on infrastructure, which we KNOW will create jobs, or simply give the $1.5T to the middle class to spur growth. Middle class breaks end in 7 years? What a deal

        Only because our tax cuts are temporary. Because dems wouldn't vote. Yes higher income will get a bigger break. That's common sense. I'm middle class and its going to help me.. You are just like all dems. You have to insult people and spout hate at those who disagree with you.
