Someone show me where Income Tax revenue fell after TCJA?

SOI Tax Stats - IRS Data Book | Internal Revenue Service

Look here for the IRS Data Book (Publication 55B), with links to prior IRS Data Books. The tables shown in these publications contain statistics for IRS collections and refunds, as well as number of returns. There's also information on examination activities, taxpayer assistance, chief counsel...

Look at that growth? We have a spending problem.

It's obvious. He should take an L of epic proportions this November.

He should, but, most dems are too stupid to realize it and voted fir him regardless. Plus they'll do like they always did and cheat

Chances JFK bent her over?
I’d say 50/50

JFK was a straight up dog. I’m going with 100%, zero doubts.

Tax Cuts Are Primarily Responsible for the Increasing Debt Ratio

Without the Bush and Trump tax cuts, debt as a percentage of the economy would be declining permanently.

Without spending. Spending is the problem.

Well, if Trump hadn't blocked the bipartisan Senate bill he wouldn't have to.

lulz..

 

[Vol737]

So what would you cut, exactly, and what would it save, exactly?

Nothing HAS to be justified anymore than it did to increase the spending in the first place. Everything is on the table, even the most sacred of cows.

Would never pass. Neither party would ever, ever, endorse cutting the entitlements.

So you've never claimed the GOP wanted to take people's social security or Medicare away? BS

Oh ffs. Tax cuts are not correlated to tax revenues relative to GDP.

Oh, I’m aware. Doesn’t mean it won’t happen one way or another. If not by choice, then by blunt force trauma. Currently, the SS “trust fund” runs dry in 2033, thereabouts. Everyone receiving benefits gets a 25% pay cut when that happens. It’s either that or reformulate the benefits on a “born on or after” criteria in the future to match current projections and funding.

@lawgator1 I can only assume, since you have not responded to this, that you actually realize how big of a hypocrite you are. Does that suck? How about you stop lying about GOP intentions. It's like when you said the only people who support school choice are those scared to have their kids around minorities.

I don't understand the full context but I've never said the GOP would actually attempt to kill Medicare or SS. They may have a few people more willing to hint at it, to get some ultra right media coverage, but we are talking just a handful of wingnuts, not any actual effort.

Rubesome

[SpaceCoastVol]

I'm all for lower class persons paying more in taxes. But I'm also for the highest earners paying more, as well.

Wonder what the stats would be for everyone paying, say, 5 percent more per year and what that would do to the debt over time.

I'd rather the government spend less

And the .gov would just spend any 'additional' revenue. But you know that.

 

[norrislakevol]

Not a *$##^&@ thing if the spending isn't addressed.

This^^^^

I already cough up 23 percent of my paycheck to the scumbags in D.C. Time to take a fillet knife to the Federal Government.

Not only are there Republicans who'd like to kill Social Security, President Bush floated the idea of partially privatizing the system. It went nowhere.

"Bush outlined a major initiative to reform Social Security which included partial privatization of the system, personal Social Security accounts, and options to permit Americans to divert a portion of their Social Security tax (FICA) into secured investments."

There are certainly Republicans who'd want to get rid of Medicare and Medicaid. They hate government, period. Fortunately, they are a minority of crazies.
