        From the WSJ:

        How does actual income level look for these?

        I'm just wondering what is causing the difference. Is the Bottom 50% income still going up, just not as fast as the Top 1%?

        It is a problem either way. I'm just curious.

        • Our CEO sent out an email today saying that ~145K employees will be getting a $1,000 bonus by the end of the year because of the tax cuts. I don't get one.

            If only there were a way for the bottom 50% to vote people into office that would represent them.

                    • President Trump went to the "Winter White House," his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, on Friday, where CBS News reports he told friends dining at his club, "You all just got a lot richer" because of the GOP tax overhaul he'd signed several hours earlier. Two sources at a nearby table described the comments to CBS.

                      In public statements before the bill became law, Trump repeatedly claimed he, as a wealthy person, would take a financial hit so that ordinary Americans could pay lower taxes. In April, Trump said he would "probably pay more" after the reform, and in November he said he'd be a "big loser" and lose "a fortune." Since the legislation was finalized, analysis has shown Trump will save millions annually under the new system. Bonnie Kristian

                          • Oh Snap!! If Bernie and the rest of the Dems don't take Ted up on this offer, then I guess they really don't care about the middle class or the poor and downtrodden. Ted is basically telling them he'll make the middle class tax cuts permanent and leave the upper class expiring.

                              LOL. Bernie sponsor legislation? GTFO. He's too transformational to be bothered with that kind of stuff.

                                There are three approaches state officials could use to undercut the tax law. First, they could encourage families to donate money to the state government by offering them a credit for those gifts against state income taxes. The idea would be to turn state taxes into charitable donations that are deductible against the federal income tax. This might sound like a gimmick that the Internal Revenue Service could easily shut down. But David Kamin, a law professor at New York University, says there is precedent supporting such a policy. For example, some states offer tax credits to people who donate money to private schools, and these donations also qualify for the federal charity deduction.


                                Under the second approach, which is advocated by the economist Dean Baker, state governments would replace their income taxes with payroll taxes paid by employers. Those kinds of taxes — like the one for unemployment insurance coverage — are deductible for businesses under the Republican tax law. That switch would mean that employers could pay their workers less, but take-home pay would stay the same because employees wouldn’t be on the hook for paying state income taxes.


                                The third approach is for states to file a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the tax law. Mr. Cuomo said on Wednesday that he would file such a suit, claiming that the provision limiting deductibility of state and local taxes amounts to double taxation. Other officials, including the governor-elect of New Jersey, Phil Murphy, are considering similar legal action.
