About the same as everyone else that got a tax cut - again, the tax cuts were broad based where (pretty much) all federal personal tax bracket rates went down. And again, because some brackets were re-done, some individuals now have portions of their income taxed higher because of changes in bracket thresholds. If a govt decreases all tax bracket rates, that means, all incomes get a tax reduction, that would include the one-percenters AND the 99 percenters. Again, about the only rate that didn't go down was the less than $10k income bracket (that rate stayed the same) and pretty much all the other bracket rates went down.

Yah! they support the courts when its in their favour. That's their consistency 🙄
Great defense, Im sure it will be used next time another Gun Nut goes into a Kindergarten and someone tries to disarm them.
You didn’t notice US GDP growth under Trump was weakest of the G7 and under Biden it is the strongest.
TCJA personal tax code changes are a chicken bone thrown to the starving masses. you avoid what the real target was.. corporations.
the corporate tax rate alone dropped from 35% to 21%... among other juicy corporate taxation gifts.
and none of it was paid for by increased income or decreases in expenditures... straight to deficit.
How many syllables can i use to explain it? 3? 2?
Its like the dude who was pardoned in Texas. Driving into the scene and claiming self defence. Its actually instigation by people without a mandate to use lethal force.
Yes, that's why fiscal changes (whether it be new spending or tax cuts) should be funded. That's what a deficit is, more money going out (i.e. requires borrowing) vs money coming in. If you are going to have less money coming in, you should fund that with spending cuts rather than pulling out the credit card (so to speak). No one is arguing (at least I'm not) that the US doesn't have large deficits, they do. But you seeing it solely as a taxation issue (i.e. they should tax more), whereas I see it as a spending issue. The reason why I see it as a spending issue is because there is no government (left or right leaning) that can't find a use to spend tax revenue. The only difference, between you and I, you seem to think all spending by gov't is "good" and/or you want gov't to spend more on "things" you want. I believe gov't should only spend on things that are necessary/required. That difference can be viewed as (what a lot of left leaning folk parrot off) tax somehow being about "wealth transfer" - whereas I see taxation as a sort of Faustian bargain, govt's take some of my income, but only as much as is required to pay for those things that are essential for a civil society. The "wealth transfer" crowd just wants more "things" and as is the case with wants, they are limitless.
If you're walking down the street or standing on a corner, you can defend yourself if someone attacks you.
It doesn't matter if you are armed or not.
If someone is dumb enough to attack a person who is armed then. maybe that's too bad if they get shot.

Yah! Rigged election, rigged trial, rigged juries, rigged decisions, everything rigged. Hahahaha! Just plain stupid!Jeez, the problem of rigged juries seems to be a real issue for Mr. Trump, going back a long ways.....
Correct!! But some people just refuse to see it that way.
Did I say they aren't crimes...
Dick went looking for trouble, found it, and cried wold after the fact he couldn't handle it
Just like a 17 year old walking around in public during a riot with an ar-15 makes sense
Dick went looking for trouble, found it, and cried wold after the fact he couldn't handle it
Oh....my....god !!!!
I said one person was "KILLED"
It's been established that multiple people "DIED".
There is a difference between what those two words mean.
Go back and TRY reading it again.
Third time lucky?
Probaby not.
Sorry, still self defense.
All the liberal tears in the world won't change the facts.
Not an AR-15 btw.
Never let the facts get in the way of a good story.
