re: So how many trump haters here are going to go against their self interest on this tax bill

Maybe I misread your original response to me. I read it as "wealthy" being the top 1%.

Edit: and I agree with what you're saying.

Like I said, assets and passive income are much more important than earned income when it comes to determining class.

quote:

---

Assets, not income, determine class.

Spot on

All of it

Highlighting this to emphasize that "class" means social standing and wealth demographic before some damn fool leftist expresses outrage about "you think you're better and classier than me because you have more stuff!"

quote:

---

If you got an “A” in class, would you say you were an “average” student?

I don't accept A's in my household.

Tell that to 90% of the population that is poorer than you.

Just means there is a huge wagegap between those that make a lot more than me and the rest of us peons. If your going to commit class warfare vs people in the 100k range and accuse them of being rich then I'm going to correct you on the facts. Just because I earn more than 90pct of people doesn't mean I'm rich. You might want to look up the definition of rich. According to wiki I'm actually in the 15pct range and Upper Middle Class

Upper middle class[1] (15%)
Highly-educated (often with graduate degrees) professionals & managers with household incomes varying from the high 5-figure range to commonly above $100,000.

Facts be damned.

112-190k isn't middle class you fricking jamoke.

Nobody actually making $112k-$190k as an individual thinks they are middle class. That poster was just a minimum wage fry jockey frontin.

How exactly are middle classes getting much of a tax break when income from $112,500 to $190,150 is going from a 28% tax rate to the highest bracket (33% or 35%)?

---

Do you even know how taxable income works, you pleb?

quote:

---

Being middle class means you can stop working without worrying about bills

---

The term you are looking for is "financially independent" not middle class.

Middle class is people who are just above paycheck to paycheck. If they couldn't work for a month or two they would be fricked. They still have a small savings and retirement but are required to work to pay bills.

If you think middle class means you can retire at 30 then share your fricking secrets.

I will wait to see what the plan is.

Progressive tax. While the top portion of their income will go up to 33%, the bottom 2/3 will be taxed at the lower rates.

Overall, they'd pay less

If the reports are true, there will be cuts across the income spectrum, but most heavily for pass through businesses and middle class households

Will you let your hatred of trump result in less money in your pocket?

Best of both worlds. I get more money in my pocket and I can still hate Trump. Win-Win
