The "leadership" of Congress has been deteriorating over the course of the Bush and Obama administrations. It is becoming more and more us vs. them, with no adults in charge capable of real debate and compromise. Pelosi and Reid were the worst ever as far as stone walling, but the current GOP "leadership", while more civil on the surface, appear equally inept at discussion and compromise.
For the most part, that is not necessarily bad news. While the country as a whole would benefit from tax relief and health care reform, anything else either party wants appears to be toxic. If they could just work out those two issues and go home, we would all be a lot better off.
We need to go back to the founding, when Congress met in the late fall or early winter, after the crops were in, got their work done, and went back home for spring planting.

What exactly are the poor transferring? It's hard to cut taxes from negative to more negative.

Try this: Republicans passed a tax bill which, according to their own analysis and all others, transfers trillions from the middle class and poor to rich people and
|
A ha!
So you admit that those danged poor people who have not been paying taxes, in fact, have squirrel away trillion of dollars.
Then this bill is JUSTICE, Dan! It returns those trillions to their rightful owners, the RICH, who have been shouldering the tax burden wrongfully!!

Right on!
They keep us divided along political lines while THEY, together, rape, pillage, and plunder the country.
We should, as one people, light torches, gather up pitch forks, and march on Washington and drain the damn swamp ourselves.

Reminder to all liberals: Tax rates are merely legal minimums. You are free to send as much as you would like.
