*votes to fund yet another war in the middle east*
Well, as I understand it wars are already too expensive for a long time now. The only reason there's war in ME is because of the oil and the motto "that war will pay for itself by selling their oil". That's why there will never be a war with North Korea since there is no money for it and they don't have any oil.
Are you sure? I'd say you'd get enough barrels filled squeezing Kim Jong-un hard enough. He's that greasy.

I'm still trying to noodle out how the tax plan can simultaneously raise everyone's taxes AND explode the deficit . . . .
So, is the government going to accumulate enormous piles of cash and burn it ?
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

They are vastly reducing the taxes on the wealthy so that it will "trickle down" and they will finance that by cutting aide to and medical care for the less well off.
But that's republicans for you, morally bankrupt users.

Also didn't Trump actually promise during his campagin that he'll actually put import taxes for all those US companies that make their products in China and Mexico to make it more feaseable for them to actually make those products like cars, computers, iphones etc. in US and hire US workers?
And yet with his new tax plan he is actually awarding Apple with $47 billion.
Quote:Under current tax laws, Apple would have to pay $78.1 billion to bring its profits back to the U.S. Under the Senate plan, on the other hand, Apple would only have to pay $31.4 billion on its past overseas earnings, Richard Harvey, a tax professor at Villanova University told the Financial Times. Harvey has testified before Congress regarding Apple’s overseas holdings.

Seems like he just awarded China.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Seems like he just awarded China. If Apple paid its full tax bill it could buy a couple of new aircraft carriers and the planes to fly off of them to fight the Chinese in the next war. What a bunch of unpatriotic scum.

There was a Hollywood script writer on Channel 4 news last night and he mentioned that his tax break from Trump equated to five Ferraris, Sorkin or something, wrote the west wing?

Well when I said "awarded China" I mean with jobs since obviously Apple is not bringing them back since new tax plan doesn't give them any reason to.

Personally I'm all for it because it increases the standard deduction to 24000 dollars. As someone who only works part of the year and lives off a small amount of money, doesn't a bunch of stupid deductions to make up, I'll basically never have to pay federal taxes.

Eliminate your internet bill and then you can contribute to the federal budget.
