Anyone here remember the Laffer Curve? You know the “trickle down” economics beautiful theory destroyed by ugly facts? The one where we cut taxes on corporations and the wealthy and they, in turn, invest it in good paying jobs for Americans instead of following their instincts, taking the money and running (yachting, private jetting) as fast as they can?
Well, it’s back.
That’s what Trump’s tax “reform” package is all about. Greg Sargent at WaPo’s Plum Line says it will be the end of Trump’s economic populism.
Not necessarily. There’s a lot to like here for the mindlessly vindictive Trump supporter who thinks coastal elites are trying to ram the nanny state down their throats and force them to gay marry right before surrendering their guns and marching them off for mandatory abortions. For one thing, if reports are true about the reform package curtailing the mortgage deduction and state tax deductions, it’s going to slam California, NJ, NY, MA the hardest. Sure it will cause some Trump voters pain but the howls of rage from the libtards will be like choirs of heavenly angels to their ears.
Hokay.
The housing market will likely crash somewhat so sell your house now to the first sucker you find. I’d look for them at the nearest Trump Rally.

The late, great Molly Ivins:
Like the other regulars here, I think there was far more than a hair’s-breadth of difference between HRC and the Siberian Candidate, but what she said would have applied even if the Purity Putzes had been right about Hillary.

Trump the Saboteur
Where is that fucking idiot who was calling me names down couple of posts? Does she know what is going on at Arkema plant in Crosby? Did she know Abbott stopped giving tier II reports on chemical inventory in plants like that? Does she know that those harmful chemicals could have been neutralized but the company didn’t do that? Does that fucking idiot know what trump has done with his EPA and all the regulations? I hope that and other fucking low IQ brigade are safe from that chemical plant which is about to explode any day now because we need them to vote for the buffoon again in 2020, (yeah, that was sarcasm).
Is this the peroxide plant we’re talking about? Because that could be one hell of an explosion.
Yes.
Can we start calling Trump’s favorite child “Lyin’ Ivanka”, now?
