Now HR 1 bill is making its way through Congress....not what it says ! Sorry to say but this bit of legislation is set up with what appears to be hidden wording in Plain site .. NEW TAX CUTS. These cuts are designed to help the bill gates, and Musk,etc... Not the people who work . And they are counting on the lack of interest people have in engaging their
own State Congress persons, Senator or State Representatives .... or even reading this new Law.. This is not a Bill for anybody who has a job ! , It has been found again and again that the trickle down idea . Of successful big companies
creating more jobs and better pay...when they have more money :twisted: . Historically for the very big companies just use this money to pay bonuses.to their too big... :roll: executives . :jester: .....am not politically motivated person under most all circumstances.But if you know anybody who works for a living . You might look up your local Congress persons office number and ask to speak with their congress persons Assistant or staff. Or Congress person if you can . You may never get a chance to influence anybodies opinion again soon as our country goes down its current path.
8O ( This is not a effort to Attention grab ) 8O .....
If more proof is needed might check out movie called " Inequality for All" by a past member of Clintons White house economics programs outlining the recent history of this type of stuff . If you feel anything about this huge Tax cut for businesses please feel free to Offer your opinion in this thread . :ninja:
Not a Right or Left , or Republican or Democrat thing . In the movies content.Inspite of those are leading characters .

like evil Leona helmsley said, "only the little people pay taxes." that is what 77.1 million voters here think is only proper.

Yup. In Victorian times it was known as the "horse and sparrow" theory - i.e. if you feed a horse with enough oats, they eventually come out of its other end undigested, and the sparrows get a free meal. Why anybody would be convinced by an analogy, when analogies prove nothing, I don't know. But assuming it's a valid analogy, the sparrows would have to pick their food out of excrement, and the horse would become bloated and ill. Which is strangely like real life. Eliminate the horse, and there's no problem, except for the horse community, who are probably better off dead anyway.
