    Since the new rates will be applied to the W2 schedule come February those that are unhappy about it can use the extra take home pay to buy health insurance for someone else so I don’t have to.

    Trump is probably looking to offset the loss in tax revenue and rise in inflation by increased growth and government expenditure savings.

    The problem is that those who don't like the tax cuts don't make 13 million per day. ;)

    Or, they could just donate it back to the government. If you oppose the tax cuts, it’s the ethical thing to do.

    Come to think of it, that would make a great campaign slogan for Democrats ....

    “Send it back! Send it back!” :applause::cheerleader::clapping::clap:

    Giving tax cuts to the rich, when austerity harms the poor, means ethics aren't in play!

    How can you justify, or even hypothesize, tax cuts when we will have another $1 trillion in debt this year?

    Why would you encourage tax cuts when you have $20 trillion in debt to pay down?

    Why would you need tax cuts with unemployment supposedly at 4.5%?

    The CBO said the tax cuts pay for themselves.

    Did they forget to give any evidence (or is it Laffer Curve myth making)?

    So you can't actually support your argument? Golly! That's a shame.

    Take a look at the Real Time National Debt Clock updating 24 hours per day online.We have 38,926,903 living in poverty in the USA right now.We have 27,481,726 who have no health insurance.The MEDIAN WAGE in the USA today is $31,892 today and it was $31,378 in the year 2000...….a whopping $514 increase over the past 18 years and most of that was probably increases to CEO's and Executives.
