  the ideal woman for a republican is barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen.
context: One more time for the people in the back who missed what happened because they were too busy screaming "socialism!"....
  Tax cuts for the very wealthy were permanent, but if YOU got a tax cut it was very temporary. 
  Thanks Republicans!!!! >
  
  Way back when all this was passed, a good friend of mine who's a tax attorney was screaming about this. Until he told me, and I was following the news fairly closely, I didn't even know that Rich and poor had been bifurcated in the bill.
  The way they were able to move their stock back onto US shore without paying taxes as well, that was pretty fucking nuts. Then all of the buybacks.... >
  
  I've been reading how the very wealthy have doubled their wealth in the last 3 years. This should be an extreme example of trickle-down economics if it actually worked. The economy should be roaring out of control right now. If there were going to be a trickle-down effect, there would be no doubt we would be able to see it in this environment.
  Still waiting.... >
  
  you will never find the words 'trickle down economics' in any textbook. >
  
  I certainly saw it in our high school textbooks, but I did go to school in Florida so 😬 >
  
  Lol. My friend who's the tax attorney says that once he hit college anyway you don't see that. >
  
  I note that several tax credits in the area of children have expired.  Seems like the Republican House would be pushing for them to get restarted.  Especially since the Republican House advocates for a stoppage of Abortions.  Hey Republicans, if you are going to force children to be born, the least you can do is give the parents a little extra once a year.  Don't ya think? >
  
  You would think, but they all voted against extending it.
