    Trump wasn't President in 2016 and the Trump tax cuts didn't go into affect until 2018.

    So, what does that chart which starts in 2016 have to do with what I said????

    You posted an article from a left-wing site....


    And I countered with the fact that the rich pay the vast majority of the Federal taxes...
    • The top 1% pays 40% of the Federal income taxes.
    • The top 10% pays 70% of the Federal income taxes.
    • The top 50% pays 96% of the Federal income taxes.
    • The bottom 50% pays only 4% of the Federal income taxes.

    He is discussing (trying to discuss) economics and can't figure out who was President in 2016. Unreal.

    That isn't the least bit relevant to the discussion. The federal government can pretty much pay what it wants to federal employees no matter how good or bad the U.S. economy is doing. So the very idea behind this thread is pointless.

    No the ones he passed for the middle and lower classes. Look at tax revenues, record revenues. It's spending, do you support Trumps spending cuts. Solid employment, rising wages.............more revenues.

    Can't you read? It's the change from 2016 (before Trump's tax cuts to the rich) to 2021 (when the middle class feels the negative effects.

    You're talking about the small temporary bubble that the tax cuts produced when first enacted way back then. Other than that... we just went back to the tendency we had before the tax cuts for the rich were enacted.

    Whom do you think builds cars, appliances, lawn mowers, and furniture? Whom do think represents the largest segment of the consumer sector. these items or yachts? Meanwhile, America is a country of billionaires and homeless veterans sleeping in the streets. And Atlas shrugged.

    So? How will eliminating billionaires help "homeless veterans"?

    And why are veterans being homeless any more (or less) important than anyone being homeless?

    Correction;

    To reduce the deficit, Trump's revenue growth rates have to outpace his spending growth rates by at least 1%.
