To date, what has Trump been shown to be wrong about?
To date, what has Biden been shown to be right about?

You are exactly right on both counts, MargieRose. Doesn't matter to the Idiots, though. With a little more time to stew in this, though...it will. It's like they live their lives in a haze of Stupidity...thinking their decisions will never actually affect THEM.

There is a PDF in the Hill article.
A person in the lower end of the scale, one earning between $20,000 and $25,000 saves $106.68. He could use that to maybe buy groceries for a week.
An upper middle class person earning between $100,000 and $200,000 can use the $1,933 he saves to pay a month or two of rent.
But if you are ultra wealthy and earn in excess of $10,000,000 per year. You save more than $611,000 on your tax bill. You can buy a house in the Chicago suburbs or a small yacht, or put a deposit on a vanity seat on a space shuttle.
There is no justice in any tax reform that cuts the tax burden on the wealthy. They have been paying too little for too long. They must pay more.

The only stupid one is you. You’re being played and you are completely oblivious.

You wouldn't know the truth if you read it in someone else's magazine!

Like a stopped clock…Trump was right only by accident.
But that never stopped him from taking credit for it.

Tell that to the lawmakers and the IRS. Percentages is what the progressive tax system is all about. It's a given that lower income brackets will always receive fewer actual dollar benefits than higher income brackets.

Because it is a shell game, they are in bed with the filthy rich who will never pay. The poor can't pay, that just leaves the middle class like us.

Thank you. You just proved me right. Any percentage of $10,000 is less than that same percentage of $100,000. Similarly, when you start with less income, any tax reduction benefits less.

The stats don't back up your statement. If the filthy rich make 40% of the US income how much of the US tax should they pay? What is their fair share?

Look, I drive down into Westford, Massachusetts all the time and some of the houses are really something. I never once said they should be paying more, just not me. I do think rich folks are paying more or much more than I, my example of the shell game is what I really believe so I post it. Buy yourself some Tums if you can't stand when someone posts what they believe.
