I'm not sure what you mean by "will all that extra cash be worth it" since I made it quite clear I don't care much for money. Maybe I misunderstand you.
And yes, I certainly agree that taxes and their financial implications are an important topic, certainly with regards to such things as welfare, but - and I say this admitting I don't know Sh76 pe ...[text shortened]... y criticizing, I'm just entertained by the hunger for money that seems ingrained in most humans.
Very few people reach that point. I certainly haven't.
I'll let you know when I do, though.

Originally posted by @sh76I have. That is to say, I have a steady income, I can pay the bills and still live comfortably and when casting my vote I don't need to care much about the proposed tax plans, at least not on a personal level.

I'm not rich though. No six figures for this guy.

Have you tried caring less about money?
Sincere question, how much money you have seems like a pretty big deal to you.

It's a bit misleading to call it "Trump's tax plan"; it has little in common with what he promised in the campaign and was written apparently with hardly any input from Trump himself.

Originally posted by @quackquackI personally find it tiresome that people only care about themselves and their 401(k) and can't really be bothered to care about people (yes, they are people, unlike corporations) on welfare, or SS, or disability, or living on the streets. I also find tiresome, in the extreme, people like you and whodey who cynically claim that programs that actually keep people alive (albeit minimally) are just "designed to help politicians get re-elected". And I suppose that you also use a similar excuse to not give to charities because you think these people should just "get a job".
I personally find it tiresome to have an inefficient government take my money and use it for programs designed to help politicians get re-elected.

I think you'll find more often than not, that we're probably on the same page with most issues....
