[QUOTE="huntemup, post: 3064243, member: 35085"] Yep, I can just hear the trickle down on the head of the lower middle class folks as I type this. I hear it and I smell it and it smells a lot like urine. I just know that those greedy bastards running corporations - you know the ones who have been simultaneously taking home million dollar bonuses while freezing wages of their employees at best and laying them off so as to afford their bonuses at worst, are just chomping at the bit to put those huge savings to work for the American people. Oh yea, it's happening. And while i'm glad that my 401k is continuing to rise, it's worth noting that the rise began long before Trump was even a candidate. But even more important is that the folks on the lower rungs of the ladder couldn't care less about how stock prices are doing because guess what - THEY don't own any stocks. They don't have a 401k. The middle class in this country by and large live paycheck to paycheck, they're not waking up each morning and checking out the NYSE opening numbers. Listen i'd love to be wrong. Would absolutely love for these tax changes to be the beginning of something positive in America impacting from those at the bottom all the way to those at the top. But nothing about this tells me that's gonna happen. All I saw today was more politicians being politicians and being completely tone deaf while doing so. If i'm wrong, that will be a good thing.
