Commie assholes like the Iowa Citizen Action Network's Sue Dinsdale are regularly given column inches in the Iowa media to promote their bullshit as a way to constantly trash Republicans. A recent example is her column in the Cedar Rapids Gazette that tears apart the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that was "rammed through" in December 2017.
The Iowa Policy Project and Tax March Iowa jointly released a new report that found in Iowa, 84 percent of the tax cuts in Trump’s tax scam have gone to the top 40 percent of taxpayers, while the bottom 40 percent are getting just 7 percent. The report also found almost a quarter of the law’s benefits have gone to the richest 1 percent of taxpayers, whose incomes average over $1 million — those taxpayers are saving $35,000 a year, compared to $700 for the middle-income group, 8 percent of whom actually paid more in taxes. The bottom fifth of Iowa taxpayers gained on average about barely enough for a hamburger and fries once a month.
The top 40 percent of taxpayers means you're earning around $50,000 and above per year.
Congratulations, cunts like Sue Dinsdale think you're rich and undeserving of a tax cut.
The richest 1 percent of taxpayers get around 25% of the law's benefits, but they also pay 37.2% of Federal Income taxes.
That doesn't seem very fair. Shouldn't the tax cut be more proportional?
And the lower income people, who pay much less in Federal income taxes, don't get much of a tax break. What's wrong with that?
The problem with leftist partisan malcontents like Sue Dinsdale and the socialist-inclined Iowa corporate media is that they don't want ANY tax cuts.
They want a constant "wealth tax" on "the rich", like their hero, that lying cunt Elizabeth Warren.
"The Rich" means anybody with a job.
They want tax rates above 70% for certain people, and even as high as 91% like some upper rates were in the 1950s when Eisenhower had three recessions.
All for bullshit like the "Green New Deal" and "Medicare for All" and free health care for illegals.
The main thing with columns by the likes Sue Dinsdale is that it's a steady drip drip drip of Commie Socialist propaganda by papers like the Cedar Rancid Gazette and the Des Moines Register.
It's nothing but hate for rich people (earning $50,000 a year or more) or envy against those who pay more in taxes because they earn more.
As for the criticism of "Opportunity Zones", I think it's way too early to assess the success or failure of that program. I'm inclined to be a skeptic of what amounts to a slush fund for mostly big blue cities. Haven't we done this many times before? Isn't Los Angeles and San Francisco, towns with billions in tax dollars available, unable to solve their "homeless crisis"? Those problems aren't so much about "homelessness" than encouraging substance abusers and the mentally ill to live on the streets.
