LD0506 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Quote Overall there’s a creeping sense that we’re stuck with Trump and we should make it “work” in some type of do-goody liberal appeal to patriotism. But this is wrong, both tactically and ethically. Trump isn’t normal and he should never be treated as such, regardless of what President Obama and Clinton and Sanders say. These people are politicians, bound by a different covenant. The media, namely progressive media, is subject to no such charge. The overall message of normalizing Trump is that you can steamroll women, LGBT people, the disabled, Muslims, and people of color, yet everything will be okay so long as you win. Indeed, when asked if he thought his rhetoric had gone too far, Trump responded, “No, I won.” This is the logic of a fascist, and liberals are acquiescing to him by pivoting to “Trump as our kooky uncle” normalization mode. http://www.salon.com/2016/11/14/the-media-is-starting-to-normalize-donald-trump-and-it-should-make-you-very-scared/ Some of y'all are seriously kidding yourselves, you ALREADY saw the "kinder, gentler" Donald Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsHokieFan Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I was hoping for at least a tax cut if I gotta deal with Trump. This however represents a major tax increase! The blue lines represent current rates. The orange lines represent where you would be under Trump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fergasun Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 So.. is there a reason every topic is getting lumped into this thread? So much stuff from the election... and the thread jumps fast. I want to post some specific articles re: denographics, rural America vs. urban Americaa split... on their own. But still lots of noise and shouting.

So if he does pass a huge infrastructure spending bill, not only will his wealthy buddies likely get the contracts for construction, the vast majority of the upper middle class will be forced to enrich all of them while the wealthy themselves pay very little as a percentage into the tax pool. Trump and his cronies are going to full on exploit just how little the public cares about the important details on government and policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoodBits Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Congressional republicans should look to impeach Trump on day 1. Launch investigations into his Russia connections, his finances, etc. It should be beyond clear by now that they cannot control him, and they've got their dream president sitting in the #2 chair. They obviously wouldn't have any problem getting Dems to go along with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With no head of household category, single-parent families might take a beating. Otherwise it looks slightly favorable until you get to higher incomes who make out like bandits - From NPR: Wasn't increased taxes on the wealthy another campaign promise - now broken? Top Earners Would See Bigger Tax Cuts Under Trump Plan Effective marginal income tax rates on wages and salaries would be reduced by about 2 percentage points, on average, under Donald Trump’s tax plan compared to current law, the Tax Policy Center says. The top 0.1 percent of earners would see a cut of over 7 percentage points, but those with the lowest incomes would see less than a 1-percentage-point cut. INCOME PERCENTILE CURRENT RATE PROPOSED RATE TAX CUT (PERCENTAGE POINTS) Lowest quintile 2.3 1.7 -0.6 Second quintile 15.6 14.9 -0.8 Middle quintile 19.2 17.5 -1.7 Fourth quintile 20.1 18.5 -1.7 Top quintile 31.1 27.9 -3.2 Top 1 percent 38.8 32.3 -6.5 Top 0.1 percent 39.5 32.2 -7.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
