Imagine knowing this claim was laughable on its face, and watching a candidate claim it over and over, then voting for him. What would you say of someone who did that? What would you think of their motivations and/or logic?

Don’t need a job, when one can rob!

awval, if the election were tomorrow, would you vote for Trump again? Would it matter who the opponent was?

The Jeff Flake of 2+2

Everyone will pile on because of your history and voting record, but if you mean this sincerely I respect that. If you legitimately see the errors in your previous thoughts and decisions, now would be a great time to become vocally against this abomination of a presidency. We won't forget how afwval you were in the past, but if you want to help make Trump a one term president I definitely will have a bit more respect for you.

I agree with this, but as recently as a week ago he was on that "when I look around me everything is great" grind:

I'll be happy to congratulate awval when he starts incorporating things other than "will I have more or less money" into his political beliefs, but we're two years into The Presidency of Donald J. Trump atm and he's shown little sign of doing so. If this time is the time he turns a corner, great!

Totally fair. To be clear, based on the posts you've quoted and it being awval, I don't suspect he actually will be doing any "deep reflection". I'd be happy to be wrong though.

Who's willing to wager that awval has "turmed the corner", and will vote against commander caveman in 2020?

The deep reflection of why I seem to make taxes/money the primary motivating voting factor.

Furthermore, the $2000ish tax cut (it wasn't $500), can be overshadowed easily by market gyrations caused by an Executive who makes rash decisions. I can imagine a situation where the annual tax cut can be overshadowed by a market drop due to another government shutdown. And even though I'm only in my 30s, it's quite easy to look back at my Fidelity retirement account and see the $30,000 or so drop during December (it's climbing nicely back up) and see how unstable leadership could cause even worse drops.

One could even imagine a parallel universe where another executive did not pass the tax cuts, but their guidance of the nation could allow for market conditions that do not gyrate as much.

Your family's share of the debt increased by more than your tax cut.

No mention of him being a vile, racist criminal scumbag POS, of course.

He’s still doesn’t get it

Even if your take home pay went up 5k a year

You still can’t vote for a rapist Nazi ****

DD is on the numbers.

True, in fact all you need to do is look at Obama's term, except he cut taxes several times, so I guess just imagine if he hadn't. Most Republicans already do so it can't be that hard.

awval's just trolling with inflammatory nonsense trying to get the forum shut down

How do illegal aliens cost the economy money? More people = more jobs = more taxes paid = more economic spending = more prosperity for everyone.

I know that he cut taxes. That's what earned him my 2012 re-election vote.

The two years of the 2% payroll holiday tax cut were yyyuugggeeee. It was a $2000 annual tax cut. Very appreciated.

I've never seen a midlife crisis identify itself as someone finding out what empathy is.

They don't. As a matter of fact, it's their taxes that are keeping Social Security and Medicare afloat since they pay into them but cannot benefit from them later in life.

A true grifter would claim that he could build an invisible wall that was so advanced that you wouldn't even be able to feel its existence.

Maybe they can build a giant Ninja Warrior obstacle course and anybody who completes it without falling off one of the obstacles gets automatic citizenship.

Pass a tax cut, awval will vote the nut

I mean, dude, there's more to life than taxes.

The way conservatives think about taxes baffles me. You want less crime right? So you need to invest in the low income class. And that involves taxes. It just does. Sorry that means a cut of $10 a paycheck, but thems the breaks.

Also, it's not about what's best for you. It's about what's best for society.

Unfortunately a very large swath of the population thinks that's very debatable, or just outright false.

Oh yea, I have no doubt. And what's best for them is to invest in low income so that you know, you don't get robbed by someone that needs cash to buy food or whatever since he can't find a job.

Left and Right in a nutshell.
