I Got Mine, Did You Get Yours?

I saw extra money in my latest paycheck due to the tax bill. Not that I am complaining, but I would gladly give up the extra money if we could eliminate the negative impact the overall tax bill will have.

Mostly, I am insulted that this administration thinks it can throw me a bone and think that will make me forget how much the richest people in the nation will benefit.

I hadn't even looked and don't care. What's happening to the character of this country is more important to me than whatever financial benefit I may have received, no matter how substantial....or not. He has damaged the wall of separation between church and state, legitimized apathetic greed and restored the misguided and unwise notion that "America" does no wrong as he sets about reviving Nationalist militarism.

He can shove his tax reform up his bunghole.

Any fattening of your paycheck will be more than offset with inflation. Our gasoline price has already gone up by close to 5-10% in two weeks and I don't know why.

Just wait a few, whatever the feds give back will be sucked up by increases in state due to the cuts in bill.

The states are going to fund themselves more due to cuts from the fed.

Because it's the oil industry, the industry that always gets a pass even when their actions run completely counter to market forces.

The tax cut is a $6 billion gift to Exxon

And guess where that $6 Billion is coming from? Hint: The government does not have the money and going broke by the day.

Exxon Mobil profit quintupled after Trump tax cut

Yet the prices are going up probably on some made up excuse. From aroung $3.00 to now $3.50!
