I haven’t met anyone who hates keeping money they make.

Yet the tax cuts will ensure democrats victory in midterms.

Anyone who actually pays federal taxes and votes D is voting against their best interest

Again, it’s tragic what Trump has done to the programming on NPR. They used to be one of the few, reliable news sources. Now it’s just anti-Trump garbage all the time.

Used to love NPR. Most of my podcast were NPR programs but I can't listen to more than a few minutes without having to turn it off now.

Dave Ramsey made a good point on this on his show last week. Not that I trust him 100% on anything, but I agreed fully on his quote, "Regardless of your politics, who would you trust more to handle money - the government or people?"

They’re unpopular with the folks on npr because they only ever hang out with academics. And those folks are far more likely to strictly adhere to theory over practice, which says that expansionary fiscal policy should be used during recessionary environments. By all accounts the economy is already booming, so this is the kind of policy that the theory says we should save for a rainy day.

But yea, like 80% of americans are saving money with this tax bill, so it’s definitely far more popular than the academics on npr believe from only listening to their own closed circles

Progressives believe that money is magically made virtuous when it transfers from an individual citizen to The State. Only by becoming as inefficient as possible by placing it in the hands of Government does the modern- day Progressive think money is truly virtuous.

Honestly Obama did that to them. They went all in on defending him.

They had some never trumper on this afternoon to discuss how "real conservatives" could never support trump because even though he's substantively the most conservative president in like 100 years he's racist, obstructs justice and supported an alleged child abuser for the senate.

Robert Siegel went on to ask, is the Republican Party even worth saving at this point? At which the never trump voice of real conservatives conceded it may not be.

I can't imagine the type of loon that Listens to that drivel and takes it seriously.

Liberals don't mind when the government takes less of their own money. They just really hate it when the government takes less of anyone else's money. Because liberal is synonymous with hypocrite.
