- You can't honestly be suggesting that we shouldn't consider what the results of the end of tax breaks are - Reagen Dec 18, 04:28
- no, I think she’s pointing out that the ‘middle class tax cut’ is going to negatively impact lots of middle class people, depending where they live. -- nm - mafic Dec 18, 04:28 11

      - I'm simply providing Mainstream Media links that ST seems to propose as Truth. Is the NY Times on David's Garbage Link list now? -- nm - Strongbad Dec 18, 07:13
    - ...to a very small degree relative to what high income earners get, and then eventually raises it on those same low income earners - Reagen Dec 18, 04:40 1
      - Plus, if the economy doesn't prosper to the nth degree, they'll have to raise taxes and cut "entitlements" on the middle class. -- nm - Inigo Dec 18, 04:41
  - I disagree with your premise that "lots of middle class people" can afford 750K for a new mortgage. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 18, 04:31 5
    - I get that you want to look at this as a stand alone policy because you think there's a moral high ground, but you can't because - Reagen Dec 18, 04:38 3
      - I believe that if it were Ted Cruz and TX residents, it would be held up as yet another example of R's favoring the 1%. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 18, 04:40 2
        
        As far as I can tell, he couldn't say this though -- there's not a county in Texas with an average value of $750k. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 18, 06:34
        
        I'd think Ted Cruz had a stroke if he spoke out against a tax cut. -- nm - Reagen Dec 18, 04:49
    - I knew several people back in Calgary who had around that for a mortgage. Well off but far from the lighting cigars with 100s money. And again - Reagen Dec 18, 04:35
