Maybe cause more value is created if the money is in the hands of the rich rather than given out as welfare

I'm worried about immigration, everything else was secondary

Jesus Christ how fucking stupid are these people.

Hey, dickhead. That's how math works. If Walmart has a sale, 10% of everything, you save a lot more by buying a couple of HD TVs than you do if you buy a pack of gum. OF COURSE people who earn the least are benefited the least by tax cuts--half the country doesn't even pay taxes at all.

No, this is that dumb nigger tier math where they say it benefits the rich more because they get a larger dollar amount saved on a percentage decrease in taxes.

Of course they're going to benefit more from a percentage based tax drop, THEY MAKE MORE.

Dump fucks.

Principles

why do liberals seem unable to produce sensible and informative graphs?

WE GOT ONE THAT CAN SEE!!!!!

>rattner
Nuff said

bottom 20% are unemployed and get more money in tax returns than they ever pay in regardless m8.

The people who pay income taxes get an income tax reduction.

The people who don't pay income taxes don't get an income tax reduction.

I'm shocked, truly.

Wow, tax cuts benefit people who actually pay taxes the most, what a shocker.

It'll trickle down any day now. Honest.

Is that in dollars? What a misleading statistic

You can't cut taxes much lower for the bottom 20% to begin with, most of them don't pay income tax and their total tax burden even including sales tax and payroll tax is very minimal.

...

>Hillary wouldn't lower taxes and probably raise them
>Trump lowers taxes
>me voting for Trump and having more money is against my interests

>Liberals
>Logic

Percentages impact bigger numbers more than smaller numbers, wew who knew lad.

>tell you what your interests are
>Oh look, he went against your interests

Also it's probably a lie, since it's a reporter saying it.

>bottom 20%
>paying taxes
The bottom 20% are invariably niggers, spics and meth heads.

Mass immigration and illegal immigration is not in their self interest. Free trade deals are not in their interest.

How do you cut the taxes of people who already pay no tax?

That retarded theory has been proven wrong over and over again. Trickle-down policy is why we're still suffering from the aftermath of the 2008 economic crisis. The current extent of income inequality is economically unsustainable.

1% of a bigger number is a bigger number than 10% of a significantly smaller number. this is a profound realization. drumpf blown the fuck out by my strong, female primary school maths teacher

2008 was the fed funded real-estate bubble m8.

>people who pay proportionally more taxes save proportionally more from tax cuts

>Trickle down
>Nobody has ever seriously called it that

Your country has higher marginal tax rates and yet similar levels of income inequality.

>trickle down having anything at fucking all to do with people handing out federally backed, cheap worthless loans with massive default rates like candy to poor people who don't think good and think their McJob can sustain a 4 member family in a small mansion with a swimming pool

Just take a look at Trump's history of business failures and you see how wrong this conclusion is. Trickle-down economy is one of the most fucked up theories that was ever invented.

>Trump's history of business failures
Out of 500 businesses 10 failed? Wow. He never even filed a chapter 7, just chapter 11s.

because the republican party at least pretends they care for rural poorfags jobless since the 2008 crisis. All they heard from the democratic side was it was important to elect a woman president because she has a vagina

Compare North America to South America. Freer, low tax economies lead to progress. Restricted, higher tax economies lead to stagnation. That's bad for everyone. It's been proved time and time again. We didn't vote against our interests at all.

Tax cuts will always go to the highest brackets because of math. Iirc the top 1% pay 50% of the taxes.

>still memeing the bankruptcy even though he's still a billionaire and he made billions out of his father's million-dollar loan

Exactly, the fact that you can say this shit in public and not get crucified shows how bad our education system is.

fpbp

I'm pretty sure if you give poor people a bunch of extra money, they're more likely to spend it and put it back into the economy than the rich who will hoard it.

bottom 20% are a drain on society anyway, they don't pay any net taxes, and are more likely to be a money pit.

...

>small percentage of a large number is bigger than a large percentage of a small number

Really makes you think, somebody making under 25 k a year now has no tax burden at all but it's not in your self interest because the guy making a million a year just got a 7% decrease

>Keynesian sorcery doesn't grow the economy long term.

Other way around, actually. Storing money in a bank has it depreciate via inflation. The only way to make money with money is through investments.

Poor people don't play the stock market or invest in startups, they are the ones who put money in the bank.

Tax cuts go to people who actually pay taxes

Sure worked well with Reagan.

Because it's better than nuclear war against Russia

under Hillary I would have received a whooping $100 annual tax cut

Where is all the money going in taxes? to the illegals, refugees and non-stop poor that sit back and rake in free cash while I bust my ass. Why would I want to keep playing this game?

49% of working people dont pay any taxes. The bottom quintile is irrelevant.

And of course the people making more money are going to see more raw dollars back in their hands.

Liberals are fucking stupid.

Yall are both wrong.

When you spend money, you need to spend it on American goods and American goods only. Do you think spending your money on a Benz helps America or Germany?

Buy American goods
Buy American products

Suddenly we have more American companies hiring more people to keep up with demand.

For the record, I hate American cars. JDM is superior.

Poor people don't keep any significant amount of savings in the bank. They live paycheck to paycheck. They always need money for bills, rent, food, their shitty clunker of a car that just broke down...

What an asshole, it's almost like he wants jobs to come back.

>rich people have more money
>they benefit more from a percentage based tax reduction

OH THE HORROR

Do lefties actually fall for this shit? Do they actually believe it's horrific that tax is based on percentages rather than taking all of your income over a certain threshold value?

They fall for "wage gap"

No shit, everyone has expenses. Rich people eat food, have bills, and upkeep too.

The rich use their discretionary income on investments. Poor people do not.

>>My own taxes get cut
>>Why do I always vote against my own interest?

fpbp

>the 1% contribute about half of Federal Tax Income
>Due mainly to the progressive stack tax
>SHOCKING NEWS
>THOSE WHO PAY PROPORTIONATELY MORE
>WILL SAVE
>PROPORTIONATELY MORE

The sad part is that a person who legitimately has to worry about getting Malaria/Yellow Fever seemingly knows more about the American fiscus and tax system than a vast proportion of Americans.

>progressive stack
typo

>Democrats want to raise taxes on me
>Donald Trump wants to lower taxes on me
>WHY U VOTE AGAINST UR SELF INTERESTS

Literally brainless. Only Leftists live in this fantasy universe where taking money away from people and giving it to the fucking government somehow benefits me. When was the last time the government did something right?

t. obama

A FUCKI-oh

But everyone still gets a tax cut. There are people who will be infuriated by this.

>Current tax rate is ~35% for people making >1 million
>look at Trump's tax cut and it will reduce the top bracket to 30%
Guys, I think he might be lying.

And where does the money directly go to when they spend it on Jack Daniel's and Nikes?

They only matter of where to place the tax increase or cut is who is upset by it.

Because unlike Dems we know damn well our country can't support a bunch of mooches.

you waana knowwhy a lot of people didn't vote for Hillary?

Watch this, it sums it up perfectly.

youtube.com/watch?v=GLG9g7BcjKs

100% of the tariffs are levied on the 1%

Why do republicans vote for their own interest thats selfish.

>the people with the least money benefit the least from tax cuts

yeah but they also need it the most

fucking shit

Aren't the bottom 20% basically not taxed in america.

No income to be taxed on. Beneficiaries of our gracious welfare state plus the occasional child support. Gotta have skrilla for dem new Jordan's.

do you even know what the top 20% makes?

most of them don't actually make that money since they have a ton of wealth in liquid assets

THIS JUST IN, RICH PEOPLE MAKE MORE MONEY THAN POOR PEOPLE, AND TAXES ARE A PERCENTAGE OF INCOME.

WHO
WOULD
HAVE
THOUGHT

>RICH PEOPLE MAKE MORE MONEY THAN POOR PEOPLE

literally a crime against the mandate of social justice, comrade, we should send these capitalist pigs off to the gulags!

>calling supply-side functions "trickle down theory"

its not theory when it is a literal function that results in growth due to artificial monetary supply. Its happening as we speak, in the US and in damn near every country right now. Saying this function is theory just shows the level of economic ignorance we have. Instead, word your statement so that it at least says what you are thinking:

you believe "that the upper sectors of the economy are dampened and won't result in the efficient creation of artificial monetary supply that will result in increased growth across all consumer brackets"

Quit being a faggot, and at least learn of what you speak before ever saying the words "trickle-down" or call a literal function of any economy a "theory"

Don't even need parentheses when he's got Rat right in his name.

Now that Trump plans to give himself a massive tax, will he start paying taxes?

Flat tax on property is the only moral tax. All other taxes, subsidies and tariffs should be abolished.

How do you know what my self interests are?

no, he's declined his presidential salary and he's no longer in control of any businesses

he has no income, so he pays no taxes

If by spend it you mean waste it on chips and 40 ounces you are correct. They don't invest it they squander it. Idiot

Let me guess, this is measured in total amounts of dollars and not percentage of yearly income, right?

and all the casinos in AC are failing due to surrounding states legalizing them and the shit economy.

> Republicans
> Bottom 20%

That is fucking funny.

This.
Straight to walmart.

Also,
What are these divisions of income?
What is the top 20%?
What is the bottom 20%?

Exactly, they spend the fucking money, that keeps the economy moving.

Which is still better than sitting on it for fucking decades. At least it's going into a business, which then uses it to get more product, etc.

There has never been a successful economy in history where >70% of the wealth in a system has 0 fiscal velocity

>Americans
>Voting in the best interest of your person
Yeah, no.

No you fuckin dunce

They spend it in living expenses; news flash, the rich spends even more on living expenses

It's investments outside of regular expenses that generate growth. Joe blow doesn't have enough capital or spend to positively impact the economy. He needs more money to buy a new car; guess how that is generated

Because we're not selfish niggers and joos.

B-but paul krugman says you're wrong
