WOW, I bet no-one saw this coming:

"More than 80 percent of the benefits of a tax change tucked into the coronavirus relief package Congress passed last month will go to those who earn more than $1 million annually, according to a report by a nonpartisan congressional body expected to be released Tuesday.

"The provision, inserted into the legislation by Senate Republicans, temporarily suspends a limitation on how much owners of businesses formed as “pass-through” entities can deduct against their nonbusiness income, such as capital gains, to reduce their tax liability. The limitation was created as part of the 2017 Republican tax law to offset other tax cuts to firms in that legislation."

Some were too busy attacking and insulting the Democrat's efforts to protect voting.

What is the actual dollar amount?

You don't actually think it is 80% of the Stimulus, do you?  Did you?

No, it was more than 80 percent of the benefits of the tax change in the bill.

You didn't read the post before you started banging out an insulting reply, did you?

There is nothing that he wrote that could possibly lead you to believe he might have thought that.

 

frankly, if you weren't such a troll I'd expect you to apologise.

According to worldometer.info 2407 US deaths in a 24 hour period.  Starting to approach 9/11 numbers every day.  

Of course, the numbers are much likely way higher than reported.

IMO US fatalities are vastly underrepresented as they are elsewhere. The US is still under testing v other western countries.

Wearing a pink deplorable lives matter shirt and waiting to be called home by Jesus. Oy, vey.

"North Carolina-based conservative activist Ashley Smith, who founded an anti-social distancing group called “ReopenNC,” said that she wasn’t worried about dying as long as it means the economy can reopen.

“When it’s my time to go, God’s going to call me home,” she tells the publication. “I think that to live is inherently to take risks. I’m not concerned about this virus any more than I am about the flu.”

Her shirt and statements seem like a contradiction of ideas. Ergo typical trump supporter.

Turtle, good wife material here.
