Now make that 25% say 38% and make that 2% say zero. Donald lost some of my support.

Trump didn’t enact these taxes you idiot. Grow the fuck up. You can’t be in the 38% tax bracket and be that stupid can you?

The fact that a lot of people are getting some % back is basically Trump saying “if we lower taxes we can survive and thrive better” - the precedent set is what matters. So if this is successful it says something about taxes. The OP post is about “hey look the more money people keep from their hard work the easier it is for them to survive a crisis”.

You basically said “Donald” lost some support from you because he effectively lowered taxes on a lot of people.

To that I say gtfo, cuck.

And if you think this stimulus is anything but a redistribution of wealth from those that earned it to those that haven't then you're the "cuck". This stimulus is the definitely of socialism asshat.

You're both wrong, because this 'stimulus' isn't coming from taxes at all! The Fed is devaluing the dollar by printing new money and flooding it into the market, which means the 75% (or whatever) you have left after taxes is worth even less due to the sudden inflation.

More than one thing is intertwined. It is many things, however at its core is people have some of their money back. Only those who had such a low income that they never paid $1200 in taxes in their entire life are not seeing a tax reduction and are having wealth 'redistributed' to them. By, I would mention, all the people who have ever worked. Not just you. Not just wealthy people. There's no 'share' of the government honey pot that is allocated from any one of us.

Not to mention all the future taxes everyone will pay; your point about it being redistribution fails unless the vast majority of people receiving this money have never been, and will never, pay more than $1200 in taxes in their entire life. You're an idiot.

Taking money from one person and giving it to another person is redistribution. It's pretty simple. Take it in the past, take it now, or take it later... All the same. Since more than 40% of Americans didn't pay taxes last year but will still get a check, I think you should be able to see how this isn't a fiscally conservative or fair stimulus. You seem to just want to say random things and call me an idiot though.
