If I hear any more Repukes say that deficits or the national debt matters? I'm gonna give 'em a nice knuckle sandwich and a knee in the family jewels for good measure.

You're not exasperated or anything like that, are you?

I'd be fairly dangerous if the arthritis in my knees wasn't so bad.
Finally getting the right one replaced in a few days.

As Reagan famously said, there you go again. You're suggesting that this is somehow a bad thing.
Who are shareholders? Are they just more rich, white Republicans? Nope. Shareholders are likely you and me. If you have investments in any stocks, or mutual funds that invest in stocks, you'll be the recipient of those dividends as are shareholder. That represents some 94 million individual investors, and mutual fund–owning households hail from all age groups, incomes, and educational backgrounds.
Oh, and those stock buybacks? Of course they help buoy the share price for stocks and are good for shareholders, which as pointed out above, also give a nice bump in share price for those 94 million folks just like you and me.
Sheesh, Finn. Go out and try to find some joy in your life.

That still doesn't make this tax bill a good idea, plus it reveals the lies used to sell it. And yes, I've made plenty of money in the stock market over the past year. Accordingly, I didn't need a windfall financed by Chinese debt and paid for by my children.
