[QUOTE="SMS, post: 3051615, member: 42"] Taking the Republican numbers, touted by the President and Paul Ryan, and comparing them to one’s personal taxes to reveal the factual lack of a “tax cut” and even a small increase is not “chanting the MSN liberal mantra”. It is an exercise in reality that is neither liberal or conservative. Some folks just can’t peel themselves away and exercise independent thought on issues like this. The bill certainly won’t keep its present form. Anyone who thinks it will get improved in terms of its impact on the middle class needs to step away from the kool-aid. As it stands now, according to independent analysis from multiple sources, 3/4 of the tax reduction benefit goes to the top 1% of taxpayers, which I’m totally fine with since they pay most of the taxes in this country. My beef is with the lies, dishonesty and used car salesmen shuck and jive attempt to bill this as a large “gift” to the middle and lower classes. It’s not. By any analysis. Just call it what it is and stick by the conservative tax mantra we’ve been hearing about for years. [/QUOTE]
