For those that aren't familiar enough with tax preparation to do your own analysis, the garbage and manipulation of the numbers in this

Posted by: PhoneHome on Dec 19, 21:28 in response to slipping jimmy's post 83% of all benefits of final tax cut bill go to the top 1%

article is a perfect example of why you need to get your information someplace other than a blatant grossly political source like VOX.  There are worthless fictional writings from both sides of the aisle that dress themselves up to look legit, but in reality are purely fictional, preconceived conclusions playing dress-up to make it look as though there's some research or science behind them.

Look for legit research that doesn't try to make sensationalized claims that are nowhere near the truth such as this one.  This is the same kind of garbage as the e-mails from a prince in Nigeria that wants to share his wealth with you.  Unfortunately, some people fall for it, and others spread it for ulterior political motives.

83% of all benefits of final tax cut bill go to the top 1% slipping jimmy Dec 19, 18:00

Left wing propaganda!! Oh wait, TPC is actually non-partisan, and was established with Reagan & Bush staffers {nm} dubord.s Dec 19, 19:30

Vox's source is TPC as pointed out above. Why don't you offer your source instead a bunch of words that prove nothing. {nm} Antibody Dec 19, 22:19

The tax bill is my source. I do taxes. I calculated the thousands of dollars each low to middle income household will save. PhoneHome Dec 20, 10:36

So the middle class are fooled for the next 10 years while the wealthy and the corporate get their tax breaks forever. {nm} Antibody Dec 20, 10:39

Come on, the middle class get their tax cuts for the next 10 years guaranteed, when it just gets extended by another Republican congress. {nm} TJNFL1 Dec 20, 11:01

Too funny. You've got 10 years to fix 2027. Start working on it. {nm} PhoneHome Dec 20, 11:02

Also from TPC. "In 2018 , 80 percent of taxpayers would receive a tax cut from the included provisions -- averaging about $ 2,100 {nm} PhoneHome Dec 20, 11:03

yes, it's rigged to look good for a midterm election year. why vote for something that automatically needs "fixed" to avoid raising taxes slipping jimmy Dec 20, 11:09

Because it's a minimum 10 year tax CUT. Something Democrats just can't vote for. {nm} TJNFL1 Dec 20, 11:14

12 Republicans voted against the Tax Bill. {nm} Antibody Dec 20, 11:21

Republicans that won election in traditionally democratic districts, thanks to Trump. Their votes were not needed in these blue areas. {nm} TJNFL1 Dec 20, 11:28

Meanwhile the deficit soars to $1.5 trillion. {nm} Antibody Dec 20, 11:16

*by {nm} Antibody Dec 20, 11:16

(at a minimum, but likely even more) {nm} slipping jimmy Dec 20, 11:28

Since when do Democrats care about deficits? How much did Obama add to the deficit? lol. {nm} TJNFL1 Dec 20, 11:30

The $1.5T over 10 years that you're whining about was added by Obama for every year he was in office. {nm} PhoneHome Dec 20, 11:34

They don't care, just a talking point they have to spew. {nm} TJNFL1 Dec 20, 11:36

The difference is, this $1.5 T is going to you and me. Obama's $9 Trillion went to government beaurocracy, overseas, waste, failed Gov Progr {nm} PhoneHome Dec 20, 11:37

the 10 years is the tax bill. they could have made the middle class cuts permanent 10 years out too. they chose not to and still voted yes {nm} slipping jimmy Dec 20, 10:44

Perhaps in 10 years they will lower your tax rate even more! Oh the horror! {nm} PhoneHome Dec 20, 11:10

i make enough to probably get a modest cut from the start. most laws aren't based on the assumption that it means something other than what slipping jimmy Dec 20, 11:17

What? You get a modest tax CUT? Just say thank you and stop crying then. {nm} TJNFL1 Dec 20, 11:33

We're not gullible fools,. {nm} Antibody Dec 20, 11:36

Then stop posting about the horror of a tax cut. {nm} TJNFL1 Dec 20, 11:38

If you bought into that Vox article, then maybe . . . never mind {nm} PhoneHome Dec 20, 11:38

Calm down. They can just extend the 10 year window anytime within the next 10 years. Democrats just won't vote for tax cuts. {nm} TJNFL1 Dec 20, 11:10
