Which one was that

 

Any of them!

 

No, not at all!

 

Wait til the trade wars start. You won't be able to say this anymore if he follows through with these tarrifs on China and Mexico.

Because you're middle class, depending on your situation, your tax rate may not be as likely to go down as you think and may very well go up. Clinton would have been better to middle class tax rates.

I'd love for him to dump NAFTA and AFTA. As predicted, neither of them have benefited America and now it's always a pissing match with China to see who is going to increase or devalue their currency. It's stupid.

How taxes work or impact various segments almost always devolves into basic differences in theory, philosophy, and predictions of human behavior. Batchelder isn't likely to ever look at a Trump policy as a positive. The other side of the argument is here....

Stacy is married with dependents so she's likely to see a break. It's the single people who will no longer get the per person/household exemption who will experience an "increase".

 

Gotta be spots for Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin

 

I think my point was that neither Obama, nor Hillary, consider my family middle class at all. We're taxed at a very high rate--you know--in a effort for us to pay our "fair share." The fact that I work places us in a much higher tax bracket. But I''m ten years away from drawing state retirement for the rest of my life, so I'm putting in that extra decade.

 

Yeah, I've noticed that trend too with the threshhold for someone who is rich or at least upper middle class seeming to trend lower and lower. How's the retirement fund in Texas? Solvent enough to rely on?

 

This Country is doomed due to the millennials love for all things socialism and free shit.

 

I should be fine because many, many people that pay in never work long enough (30 years) to ever draw the retirement. I'm in my 20th year of teaching in Texas (25th overall), so if I had started in Texas, I'd only have 5 more years and could retire at 52. But I'll take 57.
