This destroys every Democrat talking point.
200,000 taxpayers with steady jobs are going to have 1,000 extra dollars in their bank accounts to put back into the economy, save, or invest.
And it happened mere minutes after the tax bill passing.
Trump tax plan....

All the climate change armageddon types should stop using any fossil fuels.
Workers get 10% of their tax savings, who do you think gets the remaining 90%?
Seems like it would be cheaper and more efficient just to cut everyone a check for $1000, instead of this bank shot.
Pension funds, mutual fund investors, ETF investors, etc. i.e., other people.
And, there is no way that it would be cheaper or more efficient for the government to collect $1000 per US person and then send $1000 to each US person.
If I'm factually incorrect on this, I'll retract.
But I'm pretty positive there are simple ways to donate money to the government.
One can write a check to the Gifts to the United States Fund.
Alternatively, Mr. Terry McGlynn could write check for the amount he feels he is underpaying to several government entities that are within his stated interest areas, including:
- The National Science Foundation
- U.S. Forest Service
- The National Park Service
- The U.S. Dept. of Education
- The Library of Congress
- National Institutes of Health
(They shred the cash, but credit it to the treasury account, as if they were checks)
How many bridges do you think Terry McGlynn can afford?
Some thieves in Dallas are fighting the good fight:
More than could be built if the gov't had kept his tax break money and misused a large portion of it
Very true, hypothetical misuse of bridge money reduces the amount bridges that can be built. However, leaving it up to some ecologist to privately finance our bridge building severely limits the amount of bridges that can be built.
What is the chart? Need context.
Who said anything about collecting $1000?
Regarding the $1000, were you not saying keep tax rates up and then have the government pay people? That entails the government collecting money and paying it out versus lowering the collections and not paying it out. The first has transaction costs (government employees, bank fees, etc.), the second does not.
The chart shows where the rest of the 90% goes.
The $1000 can be done as a $1000 refundable tax credit for every taxpayer and dependent. You could increase it to ~$5000 and have roughly the same debt impact as the tax bill that just passed.
Well, here's to hoping that the Fed Gov't won't rob the bridge fund to in an effort to steal back his money for him then.
Dang, AT&T and Comcast handing out cash bonuses and investing in infrastructure, Boeing investing in infrastructure, Wells Fargo raising minimum wage to $15 an hour, and Fifth Third Bancorp handing out cash and raising their minimum to $15 an hour. This all announced today.
How in the hell can the Democrats bitch about that?

It is just the latest end of the world discussion by Dems. It just doesn’t become news. CNN’s top 3 headlines on their website is about alleged Russia collusion and a Democratic Senator warning Trump not to fire Mueller.
Just watched 15 straight minutes of CNN. They had a panel of four. All four talking about how bad the tax bill is. It has to be EXAUSTING to find reasons why people will not like getting to keep mire of the money they earned.
BTW, they quickly transitioned to the Senator warning Trump not to fire Mueller. And making fun of Don Jr. I guess it was too exausting.

I wonder what will be fresher on people's minds in November, these bonuses or Paul Ryan's upcoming crusade to destroy Medicare and social security.
Despite losing depreciation write off? Haven't looked at this scenario, genuine question...
I'm so proud of those government contractors publicizing pay raises.
This mass conservative economic victory lap will age well. Haven't seen this much economic momentum since Dubya took office.
