See, when you tell people this who are ill informed, that's how you create a narrative that people fall for. Unfortunately for you, informed posters here have already pointed out that your narrative is bull shite.

I simply stated what Fox news reported.

If it doesn't fit your narrative, take it up with them.

Sorry to break it to you, but most people other than envious Progressives applaud a lower corporate tax rate to be more competitive worldwide. So if that's the best y'all can do, I think we made out pretty well.

The corporate tax cut was sold by comparing U.S. nominal corporate tax rates with other advanced countries tax rates.

However, the effective U.S. tax rate, which is the more properly used for comparison, is only marginally higher than the effective tax rate of other advanced countries (approx. 24% vs. 21% - or 3%).

It will all come out in the wash.

You reported it thinking you had a "gotcha" because you figured I was a Fox news watching Repub. But again you're wrong.

Your thought process was "well if they disagree with it, I'll be able to say it was from THEIR news network! Haha! I win either way."

Another disingenuous post. I don't give a shite what Fox news reports.

Thanks to the tax bill I can now contribute $320 to my Roth instead of just $200.
The left however, has tried to tell me that this is not a good thing.

I'll take the extra $50. That's the difference between poor people and rich people. $50 here or there makes a difference.
