This is ironic. I’m guessing “cutting taxes” is your propaganda? If cutting taxes doesn’t work, then explain how Trump brought in more tax revenue than any other presidents in history??? Another ironic comment is you saying taxes artificially inflated stock prices. I bet you can’t tell me what quantitative easing is. Cost of $4.5 trillion to prop up our stock market. Sorry you got dooped like many others.
A rise in tax collections is to be expected every year, barring a recession.

For the three months of fiscal 2018 prior to the tax cut, individual income tax collections rose by 10.8 percent over the equivalent period from 2017. But the rise for the seven months after the tax cut was 6.7 percent.

And if you look at total tax collections from every category, rather than just individual income taxes, the picture is even worse. During the seven-month period after the tax bill passed, total receipts actually fell slightly compared to the equivalent period in 2017, by about a tenth of a percentage point.

Tell that to all the people who got not only jobs but also better pay. Tell that to all the improved 401k's. Tell that to the millions who got more take home from less taxes. Tell that to all the minorities he helped with jobs. While we're at it how come Dems never pushed sentencing reform? Took Trump to get that through. You can deny all you want, but all I see your side doing is trying to get rid of Trump. Can't have a capitalist succeed and ruin your little socialism party huh?
All those metrics continued on the same trend they were on under Obama. At this point I’ll assume you’re trolling because you have access to all the data but are choosing to ignore it.

Prove it. When business owners saw they could keep more under Trump and not have to jump through the expensive hoops Obama put in place they started investing more. The unemployment rate came way down. We were stagnant under Obama for the middle class and he didn't want to do anything that would have allowed business owners to do better than the general public.

I understand you believe that. It’s not borne out by the actual data. Unemployment continued on the same downward trend as it had for the previous 6 years or so. I’ve shown you the graphs before but you refuse to acknowledge reality. You can look them up yourself, but it’s clear nothing will sway your belief.

Show me the graphs. I seem to recall a dramatic drop in unemployment, not a near decade long trend.

Google is pretty easy to use. You should try it.

Please show me the dramatic change in the trend. The rate of change actually slowed under Trump.
Look at 2016, unemployment flatlined. The rest can be explained by people going back to work after the big meltdown. What that doesn't show is the average increase in personal and family income under Trump not the explosion upward in the stock market.

In Mass. Gov. Baker has extended the Stay-at-Home advisory until May 18th, another two weeks. Plus he is putting together a Board to oversee the restarting of businesses. Kind of funny , he shut everything down himself but needs a cover story to re-open.

Gov. of Maine has released a statement saying that hotels/motels may be closed thru August. It's not like Maine has been a hot spot.

It’s because democrats don’t need an excuse to destroy the private markets and people’s lively hoods. Their base loves that :censored2:.

A decrease in tax revenue scares democrats the most, no more fake raises for their hacks and shutter to think actually having to lay off a hack.
