gThe Dems. will not win the Senate by campaigning on roll back the Tax cuts
Since it was a tax cut to the rich elite, they may pull it off if it is skillfully presented. The Hillbilly Tea Party underclass that boosts the very rich hoping for some "trickle down" only make up 1/3rd of the electorate.

Tax cuts reached everyone in the US
And raised taxes for some.

This is real simple, son. In 1979, the top 1% of households had less than 25% of the wealth in the U.S. Now they have more than 40%.

I'd surely love to talk about what to do about this problem, but I can't with you, because you don't see it as a problem.

I heard an interesting stat on Bloomberg yesterday . Do to longevity and education within ten years women will control 70% of US wealth . What this has to do with 2018 in terms I don’t know but interesting none the less .

Is it true that the 1% account for just under 50% of the taxes collected? The middle class accounts for the rest? I agree that the top end is holding to much wealth but how can you argue when they are paying most of the bills? Mom and Pop shops use to be the backbone of the economy back then, now as soon as a promising small business pops up it is either starved or bought out of the market place.
