Biden's Biggest Blunder

Quote: Tanko

Federal Tax revenues fell four years in a row before Trump's tax cuts went into effect.

Federal tax receipts were flat between 2015 and 2017, before falling rapidly in the first quarter of 2018. Following the Trump’s ‘Tax Cuts and Jobs Act’, in December 2017, tax revenues recovered, and increased sharply, to record levels. Despite the lockdowns, tax receipts only fell in the first half of 2020. They have been increasing to new record levels, at a record pace since the second quarter of 2020, despite the pandemic.

The average tax bracket was reduced by only three percentage points, but tax revenues increased 8% in the first twelve months after the bill went into effect. They are up 19.9%, over the past twelve months, to new record levels, despite the pandemic.

Federal Corporate Tax revenues, which fell every year between 2014 and 2018, by a total of 38%, increased 3.8% in 2019. They fell again, due to the pandemic.

Biden’s current plan, will raise corporate taxes 33%, which will be passed along to the consumers who are already burdened with inflation. He will also let the Trump tax cuts expire in a few years, increasing taxes for 65% of the population.

There you go, bringing facts into the conversation again!

Fact is, liberals are so filled with hate for those doing better in life

What on earth do a few "high profile deaths" have to do with Biden's lack of leadership on the china virus? Biden has not taken it seriously and it is costing lives.

Biden is the "buck stops here--but it is someone else's fault" President.

He neglects to mention in his defense of using "Trump's plan" for getting out of Afghanistan that only a bastardized plan mostly of his administration's doing is what was executed. That plan was executed poorly and some folks should be fired.

Americans don't like the feeling of losing. That is what this abortion of an operation feels like. The losing feeling impacted the national mood in the 70's and we had some bad times with another poor leader, Jimmy Carter. President Biden certainly has time to turn it around if he would actually get out front and lead. You have no idea what the most transparent President in history is doing most of the day. Is he napping in the basement while he lets others screw things up?

A deal needed to be made that the Taliban wouldn't make any advance in forces during the final 30 days of our withdrawal. Trump didn't foresee it either.

Should you fire your intelligence experts when they get something wrong. Maybe the same ones who got something wrong this time got something right the last time.

Maybe Biden didn't do well with Afghanistan but look how forceful he was with N. Korea last week when they tested new longer range missiles. Maybe he was having a nap when they did the test and nobody told him.

Keeping the Taliban away needed to be part of any deal. Trump wasn't hailed as a great foreign affairs guy; him getting that wrong is bad enough...Biden getting it wrong is a total failure, because he is the guy with experience. Trump is no longer President and the plan executed is owned by Biden...he could have changed it (and did) in any way he needed to based on the Taliban violating the original agreement. We should have kept the larger air base, told the Taliban to stay the hell out of Kabul until the airlift was completed, and used at least two, if not more. air bases to evacuate all those we said that we would. No firm date should have been implemented, especially not 9/11.

Yes, people who do things badly get fired all the time in normal administrations.

The whole "but Trump" crap this President plays is old and tired. You beat him; you are the man...own it!
