    The Republican tax bill got worse: now the top 1% gets 83% of the gains

    I got a chance to watch the celebration up on the Hill. Incredible bill! Not only are taxes going to get cut for the majority of Americans…We are going to start drilling in that wasteland called ANWAR, the failed Obamacare individual mandate has been eliminated and the estate tax has been rightfully butchered. 

     

    Even the anti Trump RINOs are starting to say..Make America Great Again.  I feel today was the breaking out party of the greatest POTUS in my lifetime.

     

    Welfare reform sounds like it could happen next year. 

     

    What a time to be alive!!!!

    I was just asking questions. It wasn’t an attack.   I truly wonder if you or any other trump supporters ever consider any those points.   For sometime now I have been in search of these answers.  Never seem to get any, just more insults.   If your offended maybe it’s your conscience.  

     

    You get what you give.

    Interesting, seeing how XL has yet to get going and will only be 3500 jobs

     

    Jobs

    “I will be the greatest jobs president that God ever created,” Trump pledged in June 2015.

    At six months, Trump was only the eighth-greatest among postwar presidents. Job growth under Trump was 0.7 percent, lagging behind the growth for the first six months of the first terms of Jimmy Carter (2.7 percent), Richard Nixon (1.9 percent), Lyndon B. Johnson (1.5 percent), Bill Clinton (1.1 percent), and George H. W. Bush, John F. Kennedy and Dwight D. Eisenhower (0.8 percent each

    He is just getting started.

     

    As far as the two pipelines....the number of jobs created varies on who is asked and whether or not they are talking about other jobs created related to the pipeline, such an increase in jobs if we use pipes made in the US.  Either way, jobs were created as a direct result of the presidents actions. They all add up and to say the President has no effect on the economy is just not true. I am not saying you claimed that...you may have...I just don’t know.

    So you understand then, service providers don't have network backbones with unlimited bandwidth - network capacity is limited to about 90% of what their aggregate infrastructure can support.  Your company has to pay an ISP for the bandwidth you want, depending on your needs right?  Your company doesn't get to pay a flat fee and use as much network capacity as they want.  

     

    Service providers are also in business to make money, just like Netflix and YouTube, as examples.  Netflix and YouTube take up a large portion of all bandwidth (estimated over 50%) going from providers to users and also eat up a huge chunk of provider backbone capacity.  If you want providers to enhance/increase their network capabilities, it has to be financially feasible for them.  They can't be expected to invest millions of dollars that they can't recoup in some way.  They recoup those costs by charging customers who use the bandwidth.           

    Well said!  Has your internet collapsed yet? I am shocked mine still seems to working:rofl:

    Sorry brother but to assert that the President, has no effect on the economy is naive.  The President is the leader of the Country.  His polices, his attitude toward free enterprise, his appointments,  his attitude toward burdoneous regulations,  the signals he sends to  the business community are all things that influence confidence and economic outlook. Not saying he has a magic dial he can turn, but to say he has very little to do with economic confidence is wrong .

     

     

     

    I agree! The question should be….How much does the President effect the economy?   One of the first things he did was approve the pipelines. 40,000 + jobs right there. Trump has also stated he is the greatest jobs President God ever created.  Trump is not particularly great at giving nuanced politically correct speeches, but he is great on the economy.

    A Swedish court has acquitted five men accused of raping a woman and being complicit in her rape in Stockholm suburb Fittja in 2016, saying there was insufficient evidence to convict them of the crimes.

    Södertörn District Court on Tuesday said that the men – three of whom were charged with aggravated rape and two with complicity in rape – would also not have to pay any damages as they had been acquitted of the acts alleged to have taken place in the summer of 2016.

    According to the court document which The Local has seen, the two men acquitted of complicity in rape had been accused of filming the incident, but despite a large number of mobile telephones being searched "videos of the incident were not found, and therefore not presented to the court".

    Video evidence from CCTV and images from the stairwell where the rape is alleged to have taken place were however used in the trial, as well as witness accounts. The three men accused of rape acknowledged that they had sex with the woman, but insisted that it was voluntary

    Be gentle . All this winning has the MDL in turmoil.  They have all gone into hiding 

    If the tax bill passes today......people are going to die by the millions and the world will end.....again.  I believe this has happened 17 times this year alone. 

     

    They are are just getting ready for the end....again.

    The fact that only 27% of Americans think this is a good deals speaks volumes on why they want a Democratic Congress.

    It speaks volumes on how the corrupt media still has the ability to sell lies. Once it passes and people see the positive effects…the numbers will reverse.

    As a tax professional (specialized in intl matters nonetheless), I wouldn't care about that.

    I like this bill. The US had (still has, hopefully for only two more weeks) the most archaic and absurd corporate tax code (and rates) for US multinational companies.

    Finally it's moving to a territorial system, just like any other industrialized country. And there are plenty of anti-abuse rules, especially on BEPS.

    Corporate tax systems are a HUGE variable in the country's competitiveness. At 21% we'll be in line with most of our trade competitors, and without the absurd corporate worldwide system (which only produced monsters like MNEs holding $200bn of cash overseas).

    The individual provisions are good for families with kids, as it should be. And not just at the lower level, but also at middle and upper-middle class levels (raising the phase-out threshold at $400k for married couples is a good thing).

    I saw plenty of clients today and over the weekend, most of them in the top 1%. All of them are going to pay more next year. The benefit is only for pass-through owners (not service providers though) with plenty of employees and capital-intensive business, which is a good incentive for the economy.

    Great post!

    what is interesting is that the corporate rate changes are baked in forever, the individual changes expire

    Thats one of the great parts about this plan. Another thing that gives me hope is that 51 senators have said they will vote yes TOMORROW. Even if McCain can't make it…Pence can break the tie. 

     

    The amount of lies that the democrats are screaming about this says it all. They want people to be dependent on the government.       This tax cut will boost the economy, provide more jobs, give taxpayers the right to keep more of the money they earned ect.  All things democrats hate.
