Don't worry, the way the prez is trying to undo the rights of the LGBT community to serve in the military, you'll be out by policy.

When the cuts to plebs like us expire in 8 years while the 1% and corporate tax cuts are forever....you'll have fodder to continue.
2018 tax year I believe is when the new tax law starts to trickle in. Persona deductible will double, with tax brackets of 12% for income I believe 15K to 77K - that would be a huge saving. Low income will be taxed at 5%, higher income from 20%. In 2019 tax year, AHCA penalties will disappear (goodby state insurance co. monopolies)
If he'd stop being terrible, no one would have to "whine". #firstamendment
Eh, it's the nature of politics. I had friends and family whipped up into a lather for 8 straight years that Obama was driving the country into a ditch every single day.
However, I would beg to differ that life hasn't changed one iota. You obviously don't have any friends or family who are impacted by this administration's VERY hard line against immigration, both legal or illegal. Or have any friends or family who are impacted by the changes made to destabilize the healthcare system and the potential loss of Medicaid coverage for a lot of folks. Or have freinds or family in the military who are dealing with a Commander in Chief who doesn't seem to have a strategy and a NSA who is very hawkish.
It’s just hate, hate, hate.
You must mean "STANDARD deductions will double". Because "PERSONAL exemptions" have been eliminated to compensate for this. It's not as much savings as you think.
End of Isis? My GF's $700 insurance premium due to the removal of key aspects of Obamacare? A solid economy? Racially motivated reasons for banning Muslims while we have weekly killing sprees carried out mainly by white people?
With a property tax bill above $20K and a new imposed cap at $10K, it’s a huge loss.
Well this thread is entirely off topic.
I think it’s good Cook went to the dinner. You can’t promote the changes you want by being ignorant of whoever is in power and shun them, that’s just childish. To persuade other people you must engage with them.
Typically I find Tim Cook as overly political for his role as CEO, which carries some risks. That said, eating dinner with you political opposition doesn’t have to be perceived as some sort of political statement either.

That's a poor approach for a company leader. And when your company suffers because of laws passed and regulations imposed, what do you do?
Used to be people disagreed but would still talk over their differences. Seems many here take the approach my way or the high way. A good reason why this country is so divisive now.
Tim is covering his nutz because for him the dinner is a kick in the crotch. MAGA.
I doubt many low and middle income people have high property taxes.
Democrats have criticized low taxes for the rich so isn't that what they want, more taxes? Or is it only when it doesn't affect them?
Because snubbing the president of the US is classy. Civilized people can discuss their disagreements politely over diner, even if those disagreements can be intense.
I guess Timmy needs President Trump more than President Trump needs Timmy.
That's all this is. grovelling.

I cannot roll my eyes hard enough. It never surprises me that we lack so much empathy that we try to see everyone on a different team in such a bad light. You need more diverse friends so you don't have such a narrow view of your fellow Americans.
So any uncovering of the incestuous Obama administration we find in the next year... you're not okay with that.
Moderators are going to have to shut this thread down because it's going to get UGLY.
Shoutout to all the deplorables in here! Enjoy the comments. They’re hilarious.
“Muh planet! Muh illegal immigrants! Muh LGBTs!”

Tim makes some mobile phones and a small amount of computers
Trump controls the most powerful country on the planet and can launch nuclear weapons.
The two are not even comparable.
