"particularly when it's deficit spending."

we are going to pretend to care about deficit spending? LOL

I think everyone cares at least a little about wealth distribution....but don't hurt yourself clutching those pearls over deficit spending.

-People do care about it... especially as it relates to poverty and inequality.

no they don't. They care about poverty and inequality....but there is no connecting it to deficit spending.

They can't connect.

You can't connect it either.

"grabbing you by the nuts"

how do you normally respond to such comments?

LOL

Where in that link does it connect wealth inequality to deficit spending?

oh, and make sure to point out you really care about that.

"as per the link"

which one? It's not like you can read any of them.

You lied earlier about your Pew link.

You gonna keep going?

And you're going down the wrong road anyway.

Just what exactly is your point?

That you can prove deficit spending is correlated with wealth inequality?

Stop.....I'm not asking you to do that. I just said people can't make the connection and they don't care about deficit spending.

And neither do you.

-Goalposts made of feathers

You should know....you did it at least twice here.

"I'll take that as an admission of guilt"

I'm guilty of pointing out you don't give a crap about deficit spending. Almost nobody does. It's a common partisan concern.

nothing else.

In the headline ... ."keep your taxes low"

You're a mooch and proud of it.

and there is no difference between "nothing would change" and "keep your taxes low".

You're just inventing a difference because you want attention.

so Moochy...you want those tax cuts to expire? All of them?

Biden has already promised to not raise taxes on anybody making less than $400K, right?

That's not true actually but I understand what he's saying.

Because you can't remove social security taxes from a discussion on......taxes.....But Biden can.

It can't possibly compare to calling someone a Nazi. Or a fascist.

And I'm calling you a mooch. And that you're proud of being a mooch.

Moochy, are you even interested in knowing what the tax cuts were and they affected everyone?

Lemme guess ... .you think they were just for billionaires?

-I can't imagine what else you're riffing on.

Sure you can.

Congrats.

Now you know

It wasn't all cuts. The SALT cap hurt some filers, like me.

You see, there are rates AND deductions ... ..you can adjust both sides of that.

Personally, I might be better off with it all expiring

But I don't know.

"Regular people like us"

LOL

That's cute

"Trump Tax Cuts For The Rich ... ... and Moochy"

FT

You benefited from it. The SALT cap didn't impact you.

You saw your rates go down and standard deduction go up.

Look at you pretending you didn't benefit.

LOL

"Like most corporations, they didn't raise wages on their own, nor then they invest in job creating facilities as Republicans touting the Trump/GOP tax cut claimed. It went to stock buybacks, dividends, and management bonuses."

That's a fair point. That tax cuts for corporations like Kroger don't help employees. Certainly not the rank and file employees. But you can't convince the average voter that raising corporate income taxes will help that same employee either. Even if you can make that argument.......you can't make it with an average voter.

Danni, I'm not saying there isn't a connection. I'm saying it's a connection that 99% of people can't make.

-I also pay a higher effective tax rate than a homeowner, since I can't claim the mortgage interest deduction.

not everyone who owns a home pays mortgage interest.

And you still benefited overall.

You're welcome, Moochy.

-Please organize a pity party on my behalf

Why? You benefited from the Trump tax plan.

I know...it's funny and ironic you've been here on the place every single day whining about the Trump tax cuts without even realizing you benefited from them.

LOL

"Normal conservative Americans know enough to own a sensible house that fits their budget" can't figure it out, huh?

Correct. Watching the Federal government accrue a spending deficit is something most everyone has experienced their entire lives. Almost every year.

They watch the party out of power criticize the irresponsible behavior of the party in power and then when the roles are reversed....then the same thing happens.

No, they cannot see where deficit spending impacts them personally even if they are bothered by it.

Neither can you.

However, they can manage their own finances enough to judge what they can afford. Well, normal financially conservative people can.
