That was a huge part of the republican tax cut. To double the standard deduction from $12-24 k. This way a low income person is encouraged to work than to accept Government handouts. If you combine this tax cut with entitlement reform, you will encourage less poor people from having children until they are older, hopefully employed, and more ready to stay together as a family unit and live a happier and more rewarding lifestyle. And more and more and more and more Black and Brown People are seeing it this way.
So I see eventually more and more Black and Brown like Larry Elder, Candace Owens, Diamond and Silk, Thomas Sewell, and even Kanye West will experience more and more success. and become part of the republican party.
and more stuff a Russian bot would say....
You wasted all that time posting more right wing garbage that no one here cares one iota about... but let me throw you a bone and see if you can not veer into a completely different subject. .
Name me one policy measure being pushed by trump that helps black families and their communities. - and no, doubling the standard deduction while simultaneously taking away state deductions for millions doesn't count and neither does slashing entitlements to "encourage families to work and have less children" smh.
Because all see you and your ilk talking about is cutting more entitlements and what Black folks real problems are. So instead of telling what you think our problems are, and telling us what we don't need... tell me in actually policy terms what will be done to positively make a difference.
ok back from work.
1. doubling standard deduction is not some light weight move. It's huge. So lets start here. You dismiss it. Why? It really is huge!!!! The reason they chose $24,000 tax free is because that the
typical single mom with 1 child receives in about $22,000 in entitlements for NOT working. Now she makes $200 more per month and also qualifies day care. This is HUGE. The old number was a miserable $12,000.
But that's not the be all end all. Most of my assistant and office assistants are single moms or moms with a partner. They are seeing an average of $150.00 per check for the low end help and my higher earners are keeping around $250.00 per check. I write the damn checks. I know! Given the new tax rates, the sweet spot is right around $62,000- where people will only pay about 4200 in taxes!! Thats pretty fantastic. My assistants earn 28-55K so these are good numbers for them.
2. Trump and the GOP also significantly decreased the tax amount. This is equally HUGE. the next $10k is only taxed at 10%!!
3. Then from $10K-38k is only 12%!!!!!! Huge savings for the working poor to working middle class. Instead of sitting at home collecting entitlements!!
4. All of that doesn't matter without jobs! Jobs! Jobs! Jobs! So we have massive tax savings at the low end. Huge and we have record low unemployments. Black, Brown, White, across the board!!! record lows in unemployment!! Why?????
5. Because he is shutting down the borders. kicking undocumented criminals out. Which helps put the working poor to work!!! Undocumented immigrants compete directly with the working poor for jobs!!!
6. he brought back manufacturing jobs. nearly 500,000 manufacturing jobs created!!!! and Obama had already brought our economy back from life support and barely gave the economy a pulse (finally in his 8th year in office and spending 6 trillion). Trump created the $6 million bionic man! With simple policies. 1. He closed the border and 2.negotiated to bring jobs back.
7. the jobs came back at record numbers to create record low unemployment in part because they lowed the corporate tax rate which repatriated trillions. Not billions . trillions. Yes it saved corps money but our corporate rates were not competitive so companies have brought their money back from oversees. and those same corps have announced huge pay rates. bonuses. and new hirings.
8. That same repatriation of funds sparked a huge run in the stock market. which helps all the mom and pop 401K's.
I bring all of that up because it has brought hope back to neighborhoods like mine. This stuff is really working. i see it because i have multiple small businesses in Black and Brown communities. I still have an office today in the neighborhood i grew up in. My people have money to spend again. And it all began around january 2017. Since then, each month i keep breaking records from the month before at my dental offices. far exceeding the numbers from 2006 and 2007. These are almost entirely Black and Brown people that have been coming to my offices for nearly 18 years!!!! Putting off much needed health work for nearly a decade!!! Also getting smile make overs. getting rid of dentures that you set on the night table at night for permanent teeth supported by dental implants. And in some cases, just pulling teeth that have been rotted and infected and causing major health problems. They would not show up for years! They are all coming back now!!
Adding to that point, insurance benefits are increasing again!! we have NOT see increases in nearly a decade. benefits were fading since 2008. Obama!!! hello!! I'm not making this up!! its real, bro. Unions can negotiate for more health benefits when the corporations are making more money. thats just the way it goes. And people get raises. and more people get jobs. Thats where we are at. And the working poor and working middle class in large cities are mostly Black and Brown folks like my family.
So the trump effect has been huge!!!! massive!!!
I dont know how better to help children than by giving their parents more jobs and more money to perform those jobs?? And Trump has done that in spades.
like i said, its a full rebuild.
