Dope logic: Don't lower my taxes if my neighbor's taxes will go down as well. I hate that SOB.

WARNING:  Lex is not an economist.  I maxed out my economics education at Econ 101 at The OSU – and didn’t do all that well in that primmer. That said my understanding is that there is NOT a limited supply of money available in an economy.  It’s not like the Monopoly board game.  The game comes with a set supply of money and that all there is.

That being the case, the players in a real economy are trading the same dollars.  Because the money supply is not a permanent set, I do not get all upset when a rich guy makes money selling dirty jeans for $800 a pair.  If I don’t buy a pair, I’ve contributed nothing to the rich guy’s success. 

That’s also why taxes are so infuriating.  The government confiscates your money whether you want to participate or not. That’s also why the value added tax is so intriguing.  You participate in paying taxes only when and to the degree that chose to participate in the economy.    

Chuckles the weeping clown Schumer says that Republicans will rue the day they passed “tax cuts for the rich.”  If early returns are any indication, Chuckles and the Dopes (Sung to the tune of Benny and the Jets) are going to be left high and dry when the economy, already doing well, really begins to take off.

In 2018, when the economy is roaring, every Republican can remind voters that not one Dope supported giving middleclass Joe a tax break because doing so would put an extra dollar in the Griffin’s and AF Bro’s pocket as well.

I do not see the Dope position that punishes Lex in order to punish his neighbor as a winning argument for the Dopes. Here how that argument goes: “Yeah, sure we screwed you, but in the process we also screwed your neighbor who is better off than you and much more able to survive the screw job we administered to both of you.  So yeah, you’re screwed, but so is your rich neighbor.  So, you’re welcome.”

How is that a better argument than, “As a result of tax reform, everyone is going to have more money.”

The tax bill seems to already be working for the little guys like Lex.  Several companies, AT&T, Wells Fargo, FedEX, Comcast, Boeing etc. have already announced pay raises, bonuses and capital investments due to the passage of the tax bill. If that happened on day one, where will we be in 6 months?

But wait there’s more.  If you pass tax reform now, we’ll throw in a repeal of the Robertscare mandate.  But wait there’s even more.  Act immediately and we’ll open ANWR for energy exploration.  Both of these acts will have their own simulative affect. 

Next year Dopes are sure to support an infrastructure bill that will pour hundreds of billions more dollars into the economy.  Is there anyway the economy does not reach 4% growth?  And guess what Chuckles.  When the economy grows, so does the tax base and – sadly- tax revenues.  But don’t expect the Caligula, D.C. uin-party ruling class azzclowns to do anything responsible – like pay down the debt - with the windfall.  

So we have tax reform, ISIS is on the run, we’re energy exporters, the economy is roaring, the markets are on, what, the 100^th record day, the wall is coming, Jerusalem is the Capital Of Israel, The Empty Suit’s regulations are falling like Shrillda the Hutt’s popularity, Gorsuch sits on the Supreme Court, #NEVERTRUMPERS are wiping the egg off their faces…again, Dopes and the Left in general remain in fit of perpetual rage etc.

Dare I say it?  I think we’re winning too much.  But I'm not an economist. 

Meanwhile, Special needs Council the crooked and incompetent Boob Muller continues his yearlong search for his office while his BS team of partisans looks under every rock for something. What?  They don’t know.  But they will recognize it when they see it.
