The republican tax bill raises taxes on the wealthy, especially those making over 1M. It also raises taxes on corporations by closing more loopholes than can be made up for by the reduction in rate.
If this is even remotely true, then it has no chance of passing then.
or the Left needs to back-off because they are wasting everyone's time.
That's hilarious, considering that a) the birther-in-chief is the current occupant of the WH, and b) it's not leftists shooting their mouth off you should worry about, but Mueller's actual investigation.
LOL, charging smokers more for health/life insurance has been SOP in the industry for decades, and this guy's getting all aggro over his misconception of it.
I'm not saying these firms don't exist, I'm saying their preferred methodology is too risky to be considered a nice, fat, comfortable payday, the kind you get working for Fortune 500 companies. They'll make money, sure, they just won't make bank.
is there a firm out there trying to ride the Social justice wave to the bank?
LOL. If you're a law firm, and you want to "ride a wave" to the bank, you don't do it through "social justice" cases. You do it by sucking up to big firms and getting that sweet monthly payout. Y'all nerds really need to learn how other industries work.
It could apply to most countries in South America, Africa, Asia, and even eastern Europe.
I'm fairly certain a USian living under a bridge in a cardboard box would much prefer to be a billionaire from one of the many countries available in the areas you listed.
in our country alone the poorest of the poor are still better off than the rich in many places around the world.
This statement is only true if by "many places around the world" you mean those few remaining primitive tribes in a south american jungle or chunk of rock in the south pacific.
That's still assuming facts not in evidence. Fact is, if he'd been paying attention, and was actually as great dealmaker as y'all think he is, both Ocare repeal and the tax cuts would be done deals by now instead of the sloppy messes they currently are. Not to mention the fact that it looks like he's trying to trade dreamers for the wall, and still hasn't got his part of the bargain sealed up yet.
BTW, when liberals "howl" at his tweets, you might notice most of those are howls of laughter and not pain. But that doesn't help you sell your fiction to yourself, does it?
But you know what the worst part is? And you won't be able to admit it until he's long gone, but you got exactly what you wanted when Trump was elected. And it's going to not only end up doing you not one bit of good, it's going to hurt you and your cause badly.
Holy fuck, can we stop with the pissing an moaning about politics on slashdot? That ship sailed a long, long time ago. Get over it or move the fuck on. It's not like this site is loaded with content in the first place.

Last time I checked, smoke breaks are unpaid
Really? Where? I've been paid for every single smoke break I've taken during the last 30 years.
If this idea offends you

What a coincidence! I, too, like completing puzzles during my lunch hour. Maybe we can be friends?

Why did everything not die then?
Just a guess, but the lack of 7 billion people and their concomitant industrial output probably had something to do with it.
It says that they're seceding because of the slave thing. This does not mean that slavery is the objective
Truly some fantastic mind-reading powers you have there.
slavery is not a goal, it is a means.
That makes it so much better.
I'm not sure what you're expecting them to add though
I'm not, but you appear to want it to say more than it does.
but this certainly does not mean that the war or the slaves existed for the sake of slavery.
If that's the case, they should have been a little more verbose with their original declaration, no?
In context though, slaves were not kept nor the war created for the sake of slavery.
Perhaps you should mention this to the confederacy. They seem pretty sure the right to keep slaves was worth seceding and fighting a war over.
Maybe not the only factor but the single biggest factor.
According to the Confederacy, it was the only factor.
What was it about then?
Either way, libertarians would be opposed.
Well, that's nice that they would be opposed,shame they wouldn't be able to do jack shit about it.
Trailer trash gonna trailer trash I guess.
Everyone in Venezuela eating their pets for lack of food.
One more time: Source?
I'm pretty sure multitudes in Venezuela would rather be living under a bridge here where they could get food stamps, section 8 housing, medicare, etc.
Irrelevant. GP's assertion was comparing the poorest yanks to the richest Venezuelans, and there's literally no contest there.
99% of people living under a bridge are there because they refuse to avail themselves of available services

Wow, slashdot must really be broken if you and 3 ACs managed to reply to the wrong comment.
because it keeps you and the other sheeple ignorant as to real changes he is making.
Ah, yes. The "Trump is really an 11th-dimensional chess wizard" argument. That kind of cognitive dissonance must be a real bitch to maintain.
