Cons just did it for us. enjoy your private jet tax breaks.Are you still wanting to pay more taxes? If so, you can always write the Treasury a check every pay day you know. DO YOUR CIVIC TRICKLE UP DUTY!
I wonder if I hired the right lobbyist could I get a carve out in the next spending bill that would specifically defund John Connor?
After watching that conservative college almost get it's own little amendment in the tax bill I think the answer is yes.
How do you defund that which has money overseas?
Your toilet is not a sea.
#bothsidesIt was nice of them not to pass a bill in the dead of night and after everyone had a chance to really read and analyze it unlike those shady liberals.

So what you're telling me is that neither side is capable of compromise and is willing to ram legislature through, completely ignorant of the long term implications, to create the illusion of actually doing something?
How long did the aca take to pass, and how many Republican compromises were considered and included.#bothsides

John, in your infinite high school civics wisdom, please explain exactly how *you* benefit from this bill?
Your 401k? Lay it out for me in your own words, what you think a 401k is.Fat stacks at tax time in 2019 for one. The economy will improve greatly since that God awful corporate tax rate has been reduced. Not to mention the stock market is going to go up even higher making my 401k look pretty damn good. What's not to like? It's beyond me how anyone can say this isn't a good thing. It truly is. Anyone that says otherwise just suffers from Trump derangement syndrome.
It's interesting to see a John Connor thread because you get to see the clearest example of what pure malicious insanity looks like.
Fat stacks
Well, if we are going to examine the context, the ACA was the Democrats charging forward arrogantly to score a legislative victory ironically enough by essentially implementing a Republican plan, with the Republicans then backing themselves into a corner because "reasons", only for the Democrats to totally fumble on messaging and marketing, allowing the worst element of conservatism to score major legislative victories and thereby considerably obstruct the Obama Administration.How long did the aca take to pass, and how many Republican compromises were considered and included.
Lets go for the bothsidesdoit comparison.
First of all taking a year to pass major legislation is a failure. Its like being proud of taking 7 years to graduate high school."The U.S. Senate voted just before 2 a.m. ET Saturday to pass a sweeping tax overhaul worth roughly $1.4 trillion, putting the Trump White House a big step closer to its first major legislative victory – and many Americans closer to a tax cut."

Trump hasn't been in office a year yet and already he's making great strides for the American people.

The current Republican tax plan is using a nuclear bomb to eliminate decades of unecessary scar tissue, with the Democrats once again unable to market any ideas of their own, and the Republicans willing to ignore long term implications for a short term gain.
Neither side is able to capably legislate.

Based on his understanding of other things it just might be. There I got in before the lock hits.Your toilet is not a sea.
Yup. Social security, medicare, and medicaid.
Cut backs!
Do you think the ACA, a handout and major subsidy to the insurance industry, was a great piece of legislature?Nope, only one side.
You have to remember that with the ACA those objections from Republicans were obvious and transparent lies. Here they just actually happened.
So let's pass a flawed piece of legislature just to pass legislature? The ACA is barely on life support.First of all taking a year to pass major legislation is a failure. Its like being proud of taking 7 years to graduate high school.
Secondly the bill is a shit-show for 90% of americans. How can it honestly be happy about it. And the house version was worse! Meaning they will drag the final version even lower with negotiations.
Yes. Charging forward with 1 year of debates and amendments from both sides.
This tax bill was written in like 2 weeks.
Also a little known fact about the ACA. In the process of courting two republican votes, the ACA's drafters removed two provisions. This again was part of the bipartisan effort the ACA's leaders were trying to create. One was for a public option to buy into medicare by any american and the second was to allow medicare to negotiate drug prices essentially setting making our pharm market similar to most european countries. The two republicans they were courting killed those provisions and promised their votes in exchange. Then when it came to the final vote, the two republicans didn't vote as promised and sided with their party, leaving those provisions out of the final version to be voted on. Those two provisions are major major changes that would markedly benefit the US consumer. So its not the kettle calling the pot black. Its just the kettle being black all by itself.
Oh by the way don't forget the ACA is entirely funded by taxes from people making 250K or higher with almost all the benefits going to people who make way less than that. Oh yeah don't forget that. This tax bill will be essentially a reverse robin hood situation.

Sure, the ends were noble of intent. Who doesn't want affordable health care for all. The means were an absolute failure., especially given how easy its been for the Republicans to undermine and dismantle it.
