I just hope we can all realize that the 10k SALT deduction limit is a giant ****ing problem for anyone who lives in a progressive state. **** the GOP for using this to pay for the 1% tax reductions.

I live in one of those states and my wife has done a preliminary return online and we got screwed beyond anything I could have ever imagined. 

I'm gonna take my taxes to an expert this year to see if we're not understanding the new rules this year but as of right now nothing has changed between this year and last year as far as our jobs or income but the new tax plan cost us 15 thousand dollars.

So pre SALT plan it was shifting 15K to your state as a deduction?

 

no wonder we have a federal deficit

I don't know if it's salt or what the hell it is but all I know is my tax return changed by that much this year and it sucks.

And it sure as hell isn't because I don't pay taxes.

Remember too that blue states with higher SALT tends to be net givers to the federal government.

 

I could see the sense in a tax reform that results in higher taxes for some if it was in pursuit of a worthy goal.  But the Trump plan blew a 1.5 trillion dollar hole in the deficit over the next 10 years to give the biggest break to those who least need it.  In essence, @redskinss of the country is getting hit with 15k more in taxes so that Daniel Snyder can buy a new yacht with an IMAX certified theatre (Napoleon Complex anyone?).  Something very wrong there.

Those blue states have high income....many as a direct result of the federal govt spending.

I would certainly hope they were net givers. :)

 

I'm all for slashing govt spending and reasonable taxes.

 

on the other hand it seems wrong to shift 15K to the blue state from federal funds as a deduction(after the 10K).

 

sorta encourages more bad behavior

If Fed Govt spending returns more money to federal coffers than it gives out to those blue states, maybe we should have massive tax increase and start spending more money!  How about AOC's New Green Deal?  Wanna barnstorm the countryside and whip up some support together? 😂

You’re from Texas. You have 31 military installations in your state. 

 

and Texas is a net giver,,,,both in taxes and military volunteers

 

but you don't hear me complaining about the 10K SALT cap.....of course I would love to pay less taxes even w/o a deduction.

Owning property is bad behavior?  You GOPers really have ****ed up values when owning property is bad behavior but impeading a federal investigation is a mere “process crime” that should be ignored.

Not sure why so many people think this. Do we not acknowledge the fact that there is a large population of conservatives AND independents who will be running from the republican candidate in 2020? The fact that we might have a strong indi running would pull people towards the center to get votes by itself. You dont have to be the most left to win the nom unless the DNC is actively trying to lose again by forcing a particular candidate no one wants. Again. 

 

No, I dont think the only way to get the dem nom is to be the most left candidate out there. Im not sure why anyone does. 

 

And EVEN if that ends up being the way it goes I still dont see how any of you can justify that equating to a Trump win at this point. He has isolated himself to his base and is even losing them. No way he can win. Its over. Seriously, this shut down finished it for him. He lost in all phases on that one. 

Actually, no we don't.  Those anti-Trump conservatives and conservative leaning Independents aren't going to all of sudden vote for a Progressive Democrat.  They may not vote for Trump but they aren't going to be lured to a progressive who's policies are anathma.  They'll either vote for some third party candidate or not vote for PResident.  When push comes to shove, I think many of them will vote for Trump again.  Better than the evil Progressive Socialist Communist Democrat.

 

You may think it's over for Trump.  Until I see it called on election day that Trump has lost, there's always a shot he can win.

 

Trump, the GOP and the Russians will do everything they can to make sure the GOP wins in 2020.  The Dems nominate someone who's to far to the left, I don't care how crazy Trump is; that left Dem is going to have a hard time beating Trump.

 

I siad early in this thread, I don't think the progressive stand on the issues can win a national election in 2020.  Maybe by 2024 or 2028.

 

Medicare for All, sounds nice. Who wouldn't want that.  Then you tell the voters, to get that; they will have to pay higher taxes. Not B.S. that they can tax the Trumps and Shultzs of the world and you get medicare for all.  You want it, then you have to pay for it.

 

Free College Education.  Well, your taxes have to pay for it.  Do you really want to pay taxes to give education to people who can afford it.

 

Gauranteed basic income.  Sounds great but where's that money coming from.

 

You can do down the list on issues like that.

 

If your running for the Dem nomination in 2020; you will have to be for these issues to get the nomination. That's where the Democratic primary electorate is now.

 

In the Fall of 2020, I don't believe the country is yet there on those issues or issues like that; especially against Trump and the Russian supported GOP.  I could be dead wrong on this. WE will see, which type of Dem wins the nomination.  People are for alot of things until you tell them, how much it costs and that they have to pay for it.

Let's be honest though, if the Dems resurrected Ronald Reagan  and indoctrinated him on every classic conservative theory and he ran under the D ticket he would be named the "furthest left candidate ever!!!" The Dems always choose someone center-left. Recently, the Repubs always choose someone fringe-insane.

 

I mean was Hillary Clinton really an extremist left character? The conservative media said she was. 

 

I do agree about the Russians and Trump though. There's no depth of mud Trump won't sink too.

Just cause I can tell you didn’t read it, half of that post was an argument against the dems nominating the left most candidate they can find. 

 

So so most of your post here is arguing against yourself. 

 

You can can wait and see, of course. We all will have to. But I don’t believe there is a way for Trump to win it now. Look at the midterms. The candidates he backed were the losers. There are your data points. If you can ignore that then I have no problem ignoring your argument.

I've been saying this for a while now.  I voted 3rd party for President.  Partly because I didn't think there was anyway Trump could win and I wanted to do my part to raise a 3rd party.  In hindsight, I probably would have voted Hillary but then needed to go home and take a shower.

 

This cycle I am begging for a Dem that isn't way too far off from my views.  I want Trump gone but that doesn't mean I will just automatically vote Dem.  It has to be some I can at least somewhat agree with and a far left progressive won't get my vote.  I don't know a whole lot about Kamala (too early to start deep research) but I'm not a fan of what I have seen so far.  Someone too far Left will end up with me going 3rd party again.  And I'm not sure the Dems can win without people like me.

There is a way. Trump shutdown the government for a month. Who knows how much fun Russian hackers have had during that time. Our election was  already compromised. Trump, McConnell, and Ryan did everything they could to stonewall or cut funding to watchdog groups.

 

I don't know if I'm being totally tin hat, but it would be worth hundreds of billions, at least, to Russia for Trump to remain in power.
