There is NO "the people". Some will always be left out, like

I didn't vote for Trump (Gary) but I wasn't left out of the tax
cut.
It saved me about $600 compared to running the same return on
the
2017
tax code.

Yes, and now the budget deficit, which was down to just $580 bil
when
Trump
took office, is on track to be ~$1 tril this year, with total
debt
exceeding
$22 tril. Trillion dollar deficits in a decent, expanding
economy.
Nice work by Trump and I hope you enjoy your tax cut that someone
will have to pay for before too much longer. I'm sure Trump is
enjoying
his
tax cut and doesn't give a damn. Cohen related how in 2008 as
Trump
was
cutting staff salaries by half, he was enjoying his $10 mil tax
refund
and
commenting on how stupid the govt was to give it to him. So much
for
today's
"conservatives" too. Obviously deficits only matter when
Democrats
run
them.


You never heard me say the tax cut was a good idea, I am just
pointing
out it actually was a cut for a lot of working class people. Too
bad
if you live in one of those high SALT states that didn't vote for
Trump.

Personally I would go for an across the board 2%
surtax on EVERYONE's taxes (based on your gross),

Basing on the gross has real downsides particularly with
small business that isnt operating as a corporate. They
end up paying a lot more than the average wage slave
and many of them don't necessarily have a higher
living standard than the average employee.

That's pure BS.

We'll see...

A small business today that isn't a
corporation isn't taxed on it's gross.

Thats what he was proposing the 2% surtax on, stupid.

No, you're the one who's stupid and I hope Fretwell will chime in too.
He proposed a 2% new tax on people's INCOMES, not on business revenue.

And with a sole trader self employed, THEIR TOTAL
TURNOVER IS THEIR GROSS INCOME, ****wit.

none of the rest of your even sillier **** worth
bothering with, all flushed where it belongs

You really are a total moron.

We'll see...

I've filled out the income tax returns for a small business many
times. The revenue, the gross receipts of the business are not
and never were considered the gross income to the owner.

All completely irrelevant to WHAT FRETWELL WAS
PROPOSING HIS 2% INCOME TAX SURTAX BE ON.

And since you can't even manage to work that
one out, here goes the chain on the rest of your
even sillier and more irrelevant ****.
