    Seems like the Dem talking points are shifting a bit. I have heard a lot of "the rich are getting a BIGGER tax break than the middle class/poor". The straight up lying that the middle class was getting an increase just wasn't working. So now they're moving to an old standby, attack the rich.

    Tax breaks can literally only be given to those who actually pay taxes. And since 50% of the country doesn't pay any income tax, they can't possibly get a tax break. So, in Dem logic, that means only the richest 50% are getting a tax break. When they say the "rich" are getting the biggest breaks, they aren't technically lying so I bet that's the Dem talking point we'll be hearing the most going forward.

    I haven't read the new law, but a couple weeks ago the story was that the bill would allow companies to write off capital improvements in the 1st year rather than having to depreciate them over many years. If that's still the case, that is going to lead to some HUGE private spending in the coming years....read: Economic STIMULUS done the right way.

    A new much lower corporate tax rate AND the ability to write off capital improvements in year one? Yeah, get ready for an economic boom boys and girls.

    Yes, it is. I'll have to admit getting on board the Trump Train was a little difficult for me during the primaries. Once it was Trump v Hillary there was no question, obviously. Looking back, not only did he run a great campaign, he was the best choice all along.

    This is exactly the type of outcome I was hoping for when I (foolishly) voted for Perot back in...whenever that was.

    I'm amazed at the good things he's getting done and trying to do. And I think getting the tax bill passed was just the turn around the GOP needed to realize they CAN take on the left and win. I'd still like to see a thorough house-cleaning of the lame-ass republicans in the senate...though Flake will be out and McCain's days in the senate are probably numbered.

    It was 1992, and it wasn't foolish, it was hopeful. I also voted for Perot and it was the first time I had ever voted for a President. It wasn't until much later when I understood what was, and actually had happened.

    It's a hard thing to back someone you really like, when you really know they have NO chance to win....and the lost votes to Perot put Clinton in office.

    I remember the debates and the repeated "Can I finish? Can I finish here?" with his heavy accent anytime he was interrupted.

    I also remember him dropping in "If you feed a horse peanut butter it makes him look like he's talking." Definitely a colorful guy. I know someone that had worked with Perot and apparently he was also a well protected guy. Armored Suburbans, body guards and SMGs.

    As much as people wanted him to mix things up in DC, Clinton won both elections without a majority.

    Bravo, sir! That was amongst the most subtle "GBPSE" I have ever witnessed.
