Ah! Now I get it! That dastardly Trump gave the whole country a tax cut and now people are deserting high tax states for greener pastures. They didn't 'lose' their jobs, they quit and relocated to places where their money is their own. I don't blame them one bit.

You're being lied to, just like you were lied to about this:

https://money.cnn.com/2016/06/21/news/economy/donald-trump-economy-jobs/index.html

But hey, use it if you want to, it's a whole lot more than a measly 800,000...

Where did you get the idea that Trump gave the whole country a tax cut. 87% of that tax cut went to the top 1% so stop the foolish talk.

Nobody’s quiting there jobs in high tax rate states where is that foolish talk coming from. The low tax rate states have the lowest median income and high paying jobs are not available because corporation won’t Move there because there states are have the lowest education levels.

Why would someone move from Mass. with great schools some of the best colleges and healthcare for all making $72,000 a year and move to Mississippi where the median income is $32,000 a year no response got to work laws, and no garuteed of healthcare. No Medicaid expansion and a state that had the highest level of poverty and Food stamp recipients and terrible schools. You have it just the opposite.

Nope Trump asked for the money to build a wall and Mexico told him to F off.

When did he approach the Mexican government about paying for the border wall? They certainly categorically said they would not pay for it but he never asked them directly. By the way, they will pay, just not directly.

What would Trump tell them to F Off if they were going to give them $25 billion to build his monument.

You think the border wall is some kind of 'monument'? By your logic, your garden fence is your monument; and don't come back telling me you don't have a fence because that's irrelevant and you know it.

No, President Trump will have a much bigger, better monument to remind people of his time in the White house when he hands the keys over to President Haley in 2025, count on it.

He's been very busy dealing with miscreants, malcontents and a host of other knuckle dragging assholes in Washington DC.

Foolish talk, eh?

Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100…

If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this…

The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.

The fifth would pay $1.

The sixth would pay $3.

The seventh would pay $7..

The eighth would pay $12.

The ninth would pay $18.

The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.

So, that’s what they decided to do..

The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve ball. “Since you are all such good customers,” he said, “I’m going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20”. Drinks for the ten men would now cost just $80.

The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes. So the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free. But what about the other six men? The paying customers? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his fair share?

They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody’s share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer.

So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man’s bill by a higher percentage the poorer he was, to follow the principle of the tax system they had been using, and he proceeded to work out the amounts he suggested that each should now pay.

And so the fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% saving).

The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33% saving).

The seventh now paid $5 instead of $7 (28% saving).

The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% saving).

The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% saving).

The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% saving).

Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to drink for free. But, once outside the bar, the men began to compare their savings.

“I only got a dollar out of the $20 saving,” declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man,”but he got $10!”

“Yeah, that’s right,” exclaimed the fifth man. “I only saved a dollar too. It’s unfair that he got ten times more benefit than me!”

“That’s true!” shouted the seventh man. “Why should he get $10 back, when I got only $2? The wealthy get all the breaks!”

“Wait a minute,” yelled the first four men in unison, “we didn’t get anything at all. This new tax system exploits the poor!”

The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.

The next night the tenth man didn’t show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had their beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn’t have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill!

And that, boys and girls, journalists and government ministers, is how our tax system works. The people who already pay the highest taxes will naturally get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas, where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.

Now quit being a spoiled brat and use some common sense for a change.
