Any tax plan that benefits the top 1% by more then 10x the middle class isn't exactly helping, but since most Trump supporters will notice some sort of increase that doesn't matter I guess.
According to the Tax Foundation’s Taxes and Growth Model, the plan would significantly reduce marginal tax rates and the cost of capital, which would lead to an 11 percent higher GDP over the long term provided that the tax cut could be appropriately financed. The plan would also lead to a 29 percent larger capital stock, 6.5 percent higher wages, and 5.3 million more full-time equivalent jobs. The plan would cut taxes and lead to higher after-tax incomes for taxpayers at all levels of income.
im happy with that......
Wow, you're happy you found something on the internet that confirms your previously formed belief.
he asked me from the links above to support what those who voted for Trump liked?
who pisses in your cheerios on a daily basis? you can't seriously be this angry all the time
I'm actually angry very little of the time. It's debating. What's funny is that people interpret my comments as angry.
im messing with ya i actually understand your personality as most my friends respond like you, i actually appreciate it to be honest...anyway we got sidetracked there
Taxes: The plan would cut taxes and lead to higher after-tax incomes for taxpayers at all levels of income.
im happy with that......
The only reason you should be happy with that is if you're in that top 1%. No reasonable mind can argue that they should see a higher increase in after-tax income than those living below the poverty line. The appropriated percentages actually go down, down, down from higher to middle to lower classes. This is utterly backwards and is a big part of why our political system and economy are so broken. We have allowed the super-rich to stand on our heads for so long that they have LITERALLY all of the power and influence. It was probably already too late, but putting Trump in power is pretty much a nail in the casket.
Well, Trump does plan to spend more money to make America's military great again. Curious to see where he pulls those funds from too. Lot's of spending, considering all those tax cuts. But he is a "successful" business man. I'm sure he can make it work.
Who has ever said that our military isn't great?! Stretched too thin? Almost certainly, but that's another issue. Under-funded? I'm not buying it.

so making less than 50,000 a year and paying 10% in taxes in benefiting the top 1%?

It's be easier just to read in to more than me explain. Forbes and NPR break it down pretty well.
In a way you do have to admit that it's some what humorous that Clinton as well as most of the other "Liberal Elites" will be given a tax cut while the disenfranchised will receive theirs in the form of a lower minimum wage, but at least they bucked the system.
The environment is going to take a hit, no if's and's or but's about it. Hopefully other countries can overlook trump but their not going to if it gives us any advantage in the economy thus we'll all suffer (tragedy of the commons).
As for guns, something tells me that even with the secret service his thoughts about easy access might be changing with his new job.

Forbes did a great job i will agree with you there...there are some red flags in his tax proposal
The US military could beat anyone in the world if the press stayed out of it and just let the military do their job. Historians have theorized that if the current day press was the same in the 1940's the u.s. might have lost ww2.

I don't believe that for a second. Monitoring resources and troop movements is war 101, do you really buy that Trump line of logic that ISIS wouldn't have known we were attacking Mosul if the press wasn't involved? That seems pretty naive.

An Engineer Explains Why Trump’s Wall Is So Implausible Twelve million, six hundred thousand cubic yards. In other words, this wall would contain over three times the amount of concrete used to build the Hoover Dam — a project that, unlike Trump’s wall, has qualitative, verifiable economic benefits. Such a wall would be greater in volume than all six pyramids of the Giza Necropolis — and it is unlikely that a concrete slab in the town of Dead Dog Valley, Texas would inspire the same timeless sense of wonder. That quantity of concrete could pave a one-lane road from New York to Los Angeles, going the long way around the Earth, which would probably be just as useful. Concrete, of course, requires reinforcing steel (or rebar). A reasonable estimate for the amount of rebar would be about 3 percent of the total wall size, resulting in a steel volume of 10,190,000 cubic feet, or about 5 billion pounds. We could melt down 4 of our Nimitz-class aircraft carriers and would probably be a few cruisers short of having enough steel.

This doesn't take into account the cost of labor or machinery, not to mention the millions of dollars it would cost for design work, surveying, and land acquisition.

It's funny because President-elect Trump decided to run when he knew the war of minds could not be matched. President-elect Trump treated Hillary as equally as his republican opponents during his campaign - he called them all losers. The dream that won't be fulfilled is the one the liberals wished came true.
For the thinkers who are willing to try to leave the anger out of this, maybe do some reading, and answer me one question...
How is any of this GOOD for our country or our world in 2017 and beyond?
Taxes Trump’s tax policy proposes very conservative cuts for middle and lower classes (all less than 10%) to reduce revenue/debt over a 10-year period, but boasts a 10.2% rise in after tax income for the populace “overall”. This is because he boasts significantly greater gains for the top 10% (14.6%) and even more for the top 1% (21.6%). Despite this, the people who stand to gain the least from his tax policy still voted for him.
This one is included, but is particularly disturbing. http://climate.nasa.gov/climate_resources/24/ You can argue that the temperature change overall might yet be within a normal variance, but the levels of CO2 in the atmosphere are off the charts since the mid 20th century.
He also has a similar take on vaccinations, suggesting that they cause Autism. This has also been debunked by the best available research.
Gun Control Trump's proposals will make it quicker and easier for people to buy guns, including assault weapons that are especially deadly in mass casualty shootings. He also proposes that we lift gun-restricted zones at public places, including hospitals, libraries and schools.
Obviously, there are other issues, but if we're going to keep this conversation going, we might as well be civil and tackle them one at a time. Otherwise, what's the point?
Still waiting. Anyone who voted in support of these policies willing/able to defend theme here and now?

It is proven a fact that Hillarys camp sabotaged and rigged the primaries. Bernie would have crushed Donald...
The emails were a reason too.
I really have no idea if Bernie would have crushed Trump, but I personally doubt it. It seems to me that Americans are really freaked out by socialism. Like, McCarthy levels of freaked out by it, in a lot of cases. They think it is "anti-American". Of course, I could be wrong. Maybe Bernie would have squeaked by... but we will never know. I don't think it's something anyone should really be declaring with confidence.
