All these tax cuts are creating more millionaires... more rich people who often vote |
|
Republican. Could it be that is one of the reasons why the GOP doesn't not one iota of taxes increased? These people who benefit for tax cuts are potential new GOP voters. And we know the elections are won or lost by tiny percentages. Any percentage of supporters turned selfish/gop results in double the loss for democrats because democrats loose those votes at the same time as Republicans gain them.

1. No, they're not creating more millionaires. |
|
The tax cuts only favor those that are already wealthy.

7. That's right, they do a lot more than just vote. |
|
They establish foundations that never get tired or sick and never die. Their think tanks have billions to spend on all the minute aspects of the tax code that individuals seldom understand or care about. Their pervasive fascism is everywhere.

8. How close are the presidential elections? 1% will not do it on its own but add |
|
that to all the rest of the social conservatives & wedged and you have something close a majority. And remember that that one % used to vote (since well off people tend to vote more than the poor) and you end up with a 2% change in how people vote. And that is something.

Tax cuts aren't worst a shit if your sales tank ....

10. Oh I agree the middle class is being sunk by these policies. But they are creating |
|
more millionaires. You either grow your rich/poor or you grow your middle class. You can't do both. And the middle class is shrinking that is for sure.
