“Republicans Hate Poor People:” County GOP apologizes for social media post

We've cut welfare a lot since the great society, so no wonder poverty rates are about the same.

Not to mention muh prosperty bible fails very hard when productivity has massively increased yet compensation is only slightly higher. These financial and tech firms are screwing over workers and are getting far more money than they deserve. These guys dont deserve 30 times the pay of a teacher just because they got lucky with some financial investment.

I am an upper middle class guy that gets over $50k a year by doing nothing but puttinng stocks in a mutual fund. This sh**t is just completely unfair and shouldn't happen, but that is the fcked up societ thatConservativeGuy jerks off too.

Also rofl at "give business more opportunities". Seriously? They've been doing perfectly fine; the provlem is they give dividends to their  shareholders before their workers.

Really? Does that apply to the enormous number of small businesses who aren't public (thus having no shareholders) but were paying the top individual rate before tax reform? Encouraging small business growth is a great way to provide more opportunity to the economically disadvantaged.

The tax cuts for sole proprietorships, partnerships, etc. were far lower than the cuts for corporations, even though corporationls are only about 20% of businesses

So you agree with me that the tax cuts should have been even bigger?

Depends

Capital gains tax should be greatly increased so Jim can't make more than a person who works 12 hours a day while naked eating cheetos off his belly button just cuz he was lucky enough to be passed down wealth by his papa

I believe we need a very big increase in the EITC (minimum $100 billion more a year).

Whew, almost missed this one...
 
Please tell me about these great cuts to welfare spending...

Tbf, $0.25 bought you a gallon of milk a few decades ago

Also, the aging of baby boomers who are an increasingly large % of the population makes SS, Medicare, and even Medicaid higher.

Also notice how welfare spending went down for a while under Obama but skyrocketed under Bush
