Your link is biased. Here's how you know:
1. Tax reductions are quantified in total dollars, while taxes are a percentage of AGR.
For example: a 1% difference on 6M is a smaller percentage but larger amount (60,000) than a 10% difference on $5,000 (500). It is impossible for a household which pays less to receive a larger cut than a household which pays more.

If you and I had a 50% off coupon for season tickets and you bought 2 (and saved 2,000) and I bought 10 (and saved 10,000), was the coupon more favorable to me or equally favorable to us both?

In a flat fee model, your article would be valid.

So, the complaint is that those who contribute less don't get the most benefit from a tax cut?

So we fully support and understand both a decision to accept their hand as is or a decision to surgically alter their hand.

Yes, of course.

You think you're craftily avoiding the point in contention - trans activism posing as science - while preparing to deliver a gotcha-coup de grace, so deliver thy blow, Luth.

Your tongue in cheek reply is spot on.

It's nonsensical to expect someone paying 30,000 a year to experience a larger decrease in taxes than someone paying 30,000,000 per year even though the person paying 30k may experience a larger reduction in their percentage paid.

I love the BS branding by the idiot Leftists as " tax cuts". Cuts from what? Cut from where? From what benchmark tax rates that everyone in the US agreed upon and ratified? By "tax cuts" what they are really saying is " tax rates only SLIGHTLY less than the exorbitant, big government, punitive tax rates which the Socialists want to use to squeeze every last cent out of the 1/2 of adults in this country which are net taxpayers every year". Even then, these mythical "tax cuts" only apply to certain people...not everyone of the "makers/earners" in this country sees a reduced rate of taxes under the Republican tax plan.

Its the same stupid game leftists play when they call "Pro Life" folks that don't want babies murdered "anti- abortion". Its them trying to take their garbage position and make it the norm...and anything that goes against their destructive ideas and theft must be renamed with some negative connotation. Morons. There is nothing normal about taking 1/3 of every mans earnings before he even gets his paycheck every week...or killing babies. No matter how much you try and convince people that it is.

They shipped him to LA already, theory being that if his attorney brings a habeas petition, it'll likely be before a more conservative judge, and any appeal would go to the 5th Circuit, which is one of the most conservative in the nation.

I don't think the Rs want to do that. Their policies add costs to the middle class and down while taking taxes off the plate of those at the top. The current proposal hits the middle of the road payer with something like $1500 more a year.

I am fine with about 99% of the Rs being in the same category as Trump. they are all RINO.

for both sides, its about party loyalty, not some ideological loyalty that would give a party meaning.

How exactly does cutting NIH cancer research funding, while raising the debt ceiling in order to pay for tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy, combat what you perceive as a 'spending problem'?
Click to expand...
Cancer research isn't being targeted by Trump cuts; the cuts are general. Without objectively qualifying that existing funding is being properly utilized, you assert any cuts are harmful and you (somehow) know what is being cut.

See the credibility problem?

like I said from the start, its not necessarily what he does, but how he does it that is going to ruin a lot of Trump's stuff.

"During the incident, Khalil’s wife contacted his attorney, who asked the agents to provide a copy of the warrant. The agents reportedly hung up without presenting one."

""A Palestinian student and member of the community has been abducted and detained without the physical demonstration of a warrant or officially filed charges," WAWOG said in a statement."

like with any government abuse, if we are tolerant of it against our weakest, there is nothing stopping them from doing the same thing with others.

That was never my point of contention.

My focus is on the individual. I view them both as equally normal and equally free to choose what is best for them.

The fact that so many have historically failed to view them as equal is the root cause of the current environment.

Yes. The only one that comes to mind is an older brother of a guy that lived in the neighborhood I grew up in. He was a lot older so I never knew him on a personal level, but there were rumors about him.

I'm a few years older than you and I've known quite a few who were as vile or more vile than her, including during my time at UT.

It wasn't tongue in cheek, actually. The logic is so asinine that speaking it plainly forces the rational mind to translate it into sarcasm.

Looks like another MAGA day for the stock market. NASDAQ currently down nearly 3%. But hey, you goobers voted for a guy who somehow bankrupted a casino.

MAGA doesn't care. They are just happy that the words "diversity" and "inclusion" can no longer be found on the websites of government agencies. Meaningless culture war issues are more important to them - pathetic and stupid, but accurate.
