I just don’t get the need to have that much money. Is being able to lord it over everyone else and Brag about how rich you are really that important? (Not you-Scalzi)

I am in the wrong place for all of this to be happening right now. I admit, I am a bit terrified. Okay, I am a lot terrified.

Well, I’m on Medicaid and waiting to find out if I have blood plasma cancer. Hopefully I don’t. Buy something nice.

Hey, ho, way to go Ohio.

It helps a bit to know a lot of this is predicated on lies, but also yeah no there's straight up a lot of bigots in this country.

You are seeing the oligarch end game right now. They have been setting this up since at least Reagan. So decades, not months.

To all the rich Republicans, it's totally worth it.

I wish I could say that was funny.

I don't have anywhere near that much money and if I did have it - I don't know that I would donate the full amount. I'd like to think that I would, of course.

I'll be getting a poke in the eye, and less access to services now that veterans on Medicaid will solely use the VA. Which did not get more funding.

Send it to me and I promise I'll buy all of your books.

Well for people with money whose hearts are in the right place and who don't see the world through their navels, the tax cuts present an opportunity to put the extra money where they think it will do the most good for others instead of to the government.

If you're getting a big tax cut the folks losing health care sure the hell ain't your "neighbors"...

Your poor defenseless neighbors.

That's a valid point. Whiteness does have real-world value and maintaining that value is in their interest.

So long as their preachers tell them they will be punished eternally for voting for Democrats, it is not going to get any better.

Easy work!

I've been paying for Trump's tax cuts for years. Now that we have a new fascist regime, I can't wait to find out how much more EVERYTHING will cost me. I guess as long as I don't have my citizenship revoked and manage to stay out of a death camp, I'm ok.

I guess "Making Liberals Cry Again" was easier for Trump voters to swallow than "Make Trump Voters Die Again". Live and learn...or not.

You should maybe think things through a little bit before you make your next wish.

To be fair, they also stole lunch from millions of kids as well.

Take savings earn interest donate that

Same, and it's so sad. I can't get my head around it.

Totally worth it to avoid helping the 7.3% of welfare funds that are either fraud or waste. And to think, we nearly went after the estimated $150 billion that the 1% cheats the government out of annually. For those wondering, the second number is roughly double that of the first.

I’d gladly return my “benefit” to help restore any of the cuts to necessary & needed programs. The “spin” and distraction have begun. It’s even more insulting that “they” think this will calm the outrage.

Same.

A jet ski in exchange for concentration camps. The American way!

Don’t forget they made sure that these cuts go into effect after the mid terms 🙃

Well, if you get a wild hair, I have a gofundme 😁

And there was much rejoicing. Yay.

I feel so sick.

How nice for you.

I'm having a small tax raise, which I can totally afford but I don't want it going to fund the secret police

it'll probably work out like this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lot...

Last time, it was months before I could figure out whether my taxes went up or down

Dido

I started out with nothing and still have most of it left. It seems living is a bit overrated anyway. 🤷‍♀️

Thank you! I’d like to think if I was in your position, I act like you.

Cit health care And Tax cuts Are in there together. But I do not think there is a balancing relationship between them. Such a relationship would suggest a fiscal principle at work. The only principle is cruelty, revenge for imagined slights, and obsequious devotion to their betters.

Well, I hope you take that tax cut and donate it to Planned Parenthood.

I of course don't know for sure, but you're not even what I would consider *that* wealthy (i.e., obscenely wealthy), and the amount of your tax cut would be a life-changing amount of money for most people. This is crazy.

Time to ask my accountant if I can use any of the new massive corporate deduction loopholes in this bill to donate corporate money to charity. I know the rules about this are there to prevent people claiming to donate to charity and pocketing the money, but why enforce this issue so much?

I work(ed) in biomedical science and wonder whether I wasted a decade of my life in college and graduate school.

So, 100% worth it? /s :( /not-s

Nice of those neighbors to vote for the nearby hospital to close while cutting your taxes

Fuck the ~66% of the electorate who enabled this. And fuck everyone in the GOP. 🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼

I am not in your category, yet they ( neighbors) who are on medacaid voted for this. I have insurance through my retirement. Most Americans do not . I hope they are happy.
