Yeah, Yeah, Free Stuff!
Remember when Jeb! Bush? was all riled up about black people just wanting “free stuff” and that’s why they like Democrats?
TaDa! The Jeb! Bush? tax plan:
That sign needs a little star saying that rich families will save far, far more because we’re cutting their tax rate more that we’re cutting the middle class.
But, you know … trickle, trickle, trickle.
Thanks to Brian for the heads up.
can I start drinking now?
1Yay! That should be a relief to all those temporary embarrassed millionaires who can now vote for Jeb! instead of that tell-it-like-it-is buffoon Trump. They are gonna be millionaires for sure this time. Watch out Bill Gates and Warren Buffet.
2Yeah, the warm comforting feel of urine gradually seeping down on us, our kids, our country…
Thanks, Jeb!, but no, thanks. BTDT.
3Have there been any cases of big GOP tax cuts (much bigger for the rich, of course) that didn’t end up in skyrocketing deficits shortly afterwards? And then GOP screeching that we have to slash government down past the bone to get rid of these skyrocketing deficits? I see a pattern here, and I think I see what they’re doing….
Government: We Don’t Like It, So Don’t Let Us Anywhere Near It. — GOP secret slogan
4@WA Skeptic captures my private, as yet unspoken thoughts over the years when a GOPer says “trickle down”, usually referring to their dysfunctional view of economics.

5Yep drinking alcohols is good economic policy. It is anti-cyclical. That is some people buy alcohol when times for them are really good. And some people buy alcohol when times are really bad for them. Alcohol is a win-win investment.
This, in a nutshell, is why Republicans win elections.
Tasty, bumper-sticker sized, policy prescriptions that seem quite attractive. Who doesn’t want $2,000, right?
As you suspect, Jeb! is trying to sell a steaming truckload of BS. Explaining why it’s a steaming load of BS is so TLDR.
The amount of energy required to refute BS is exponentially greater than what’s required to create it.
6Funny they didn’t mention that everything Public would then become Private and, instead of being included in our taxes, would now cost $ money, lots of money.
7Library card $75
Grade School $8200
Parks $200
Toll Roads $850
Police/Fire $500 for 1 hour service
Medical $Priceless!
What a shame that there are fewer and fewer average middle class families because of previous Bush Presidents’ policies.
8Jeb? can keep his crappy little 2K. I want my share of the $3 plus trillion his “peacekeeper” brother cost us and my share of Cheney’s profits.
It’s like this Jeb?, until you pay us what is owed, we don’t have much faith in whatever promises you might trickle our way. Don’t pee on my leg and tell me it’s an economic plan.
9YEAH, JEB! GREAT TAX PLAN!
(Psst… what happened to the R’s big concern about the debt they’ve been screaming about for the past 6 years? Just askin’.)
10When you dig down & read his manna from heaven bait for the rubes plot it provides a list of what you can do with the pennies from Jeb! heaven:
“Two thousand dollars is four mortgage payments for the median American household (on what planet?); or eight months of gas; or six months of utilities; or about three months of groceries. Better yet, if a family were to invest it, in twenty years they would accumulate a nest egg of $108,000 <—- ROFLMAO!
11tinkle, tinkle, tinkle
12Like Bill Clinton said at the Democratic National Convention. Arithmetic! And they (R’s) can’t do it.
13BegoniaBuzzkill, Jeb? must have been sitting next to a shack in the Okefenokee, when he pulled those numbers out of his ‘research hole’ for comparison. Or, maybe those were median numbers back when his Grandpappy Prescott was collaborating with the Nazis.
😀 You liked that $108,000 nest egg, too? Love those peanuts the Republicons would toss us as our lifetime savings, knowing that’s about their average income represented by interest on unearned income for a week.
14No thanks, Bushie. Raise the salary cap on social security, and the taxes on the wealthy. Then we’ll talk.
15What is that JEB! guy’s last name? It’s never in his ads.
16Maryelle, you damn betcha!!!
17Always read the fine print and then think.
