how does it feel to have money be the most important thing in your lives? I bet you all are self centered and greedy.

Is money important or not, in your opinion? If not, why do you even post about tax cuts?

OK. But voting for a tax cut is not only about wanting more money, it's also about voting for less money being controlled by politicians. And politicians are seldom good at handling large amounts of money.

tax cuts for the wealthy do not help people who are struggling to get by. tax cuts when the economy is in a slump has been proven to hinder an economic recovery. just look at the past 2.5 years.

You are so full of crap! You kill me. What tax cuts for the rich? The only people that did will not benefit from the new tax cuts are those who don't pay taxes. These people wonder why they do not get the same tax cut on the EIC. It is because it is a tax cut, not a fucking handout to people who don't pay anyway.

"What tax cuts for the rich"??? You've got to be kidding. Here's a really good summary of who benefits from the tax cuts. 43% of the massive cuts will come from the top 1% of the population.
You like to use big words like "full of crap", to defend your position, but you should start using facts instead. For most people on these boards, that's a much more effective way to make a point.

Using simple logic...
if the rich pay most of the taxes, they should get most of the tax cuts.
If the poor pay little to no taxes, they should get little to no tax cut.
And it's well known that because of bullshit like the so called "Earned Income Credit", that many not only pay ZERO in income taxes, they get a check far in excess of the amount the would / should have paid.
Sadly, is was Reagen that signed the EIC into law. It was one of his greatest mistakes.

That's sound logic lds. But if it were a fair tax cut, I would think everyone should see a similar reduction in taxes. But the top 1% are seeing a 14% reduction in taxes, while most everyone else only sees about a 6% - 7% reduction (see page 4 of the link above, I wasn't able to paste the image here). Doesn't that mean the tax cuts do favor the rich???

I think freedom to do what we want with our lives and control our own earnings is extremely important. Tax cuts are simply a way to take power from the government and put it in the hands of the people. I will not vote for any politician who does not think that we deserve to keep the money that we earn.
Taxes take more than just our money. They also take away our time as we spend some of it working for the government. I vote for whoever is more likely to stop taking away our freedoms and that includes our economic freedom.

Lewis

Remember the difference between a tax cut and a tax deferrment. You might get a few dollars back now,but you'll pay for it later.

I don't see any point in taxing the poor at all anyway. It just places a disproportionate financial burden on them without generating any significant revenue.
I think in addition to the proposed cuts we should raise the standard deduction to $15,000; about double what it is now.

Large amounts of money tend to generate income from interest, rent, stock trades and investment banking.
Corporate mergers and superbanks tend to conglomerate large amounts of money (and by extension, power) which is a threat to the prosperity of the poor and the freedom of the individual.
SO-
If the american way is to be preserved from devolving into a communist politburo type of situation (IE- 5% of people controlling 90% of resources), the rich should be taxed disproportionately higher
than poor people.
