...they will realize that the "taxcut" was really nothing but a con-job. The old "put it one pocket and take it out of the other" trick.
But, if you have to drive, you will have no choice but to pay it.
Trump's plan for infrastructure is to make America a toll-road across every state. Just my opinion.

(52,277 posts)see, the tax cut is donnie being your bestest buddy, right?
and gas prices going up? that's all on obama. or hillary. or both. and carter. can't forget carter.
and toll roads? sure, the roads seem the same but traffic would be so much worse if we let those freeloaders on as well.
see how easy that was?
even just on taxes, they will remain convinced donnie helped them immensely, *even if they see their own taxes go up*.
because it's a cult, and reality just ain't getting through to these people.

(22,154 posts)In MO, they passed a law forbidding toll roads in MO. I do think that those using the roads the most should pay the most, including the biggest users of all, commercial vehicles. But for some reason, I feel that commercial users will escape the responsibility of paying their fair share and leave it all on us, the ultimate consumer.
Just wait. We're going to pay for the majority of the infrastructure improvements somehow.

(4,533 posts)That assumes rip roaring supply side growth. More likely $400.
Federal spending is the real tax rate and it is up. The rate on our tax returns just determines when we pay, now or later. The Trump tax cut is really a tax hike on younger people who. Will live long enough to pay for the spending.
But politically it sure looks like a tax cut. Another smart Republican scam.
