In light of the new @iteptweets report (if you haven’t already, read it here itep.org/federal-tax-cu…), a thread on rising inequality & how effective tax policy can address it 1/15
As @PikettyLeMonde, @gabriel_zucman & @berkeley_olab’s Emmanuel Saez have shown, the bottom half of the income distribution has been completely shut off from economic gains since the 1970s
equitablegrowth.org/economic-growt… 2/15
They find that from 1980-2014, incomes grew:
121% for the top 10%
205% for the top 1%
636% for the top .001%

and a whopping 1% for the bottom 50% gabriel-zucman.eu/files/PSZ2018Q… 3/15

Anyone else notice @nytimes made a monumental mistake in their report about Samuel and Felicity Taxpayer? As it turns out (We blame Turbo Tax!), the happy couple will pay LESS in taxes (like appx. 85% of the country), due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. NOT a $3,896 tax hike. #SMH
2. @nytimes excuse for flawed & failed analysis on impact of tax reform for Samuel and Felicity Taxpayer doesn't even make sense. You can't blame @turbotax “What-If Worksheet” for NY Times not claiming earned income credit. And they're corrected analysis is still wrong...
3. Even in @nytimes corrected "analysis," which now adds earned income credit, they STILL did not give Samuel & Felicity Taxpayer $1500.00 in credits for dependents! So, they are actually paying $1543 less in taxes due to #taxcutsforamerica, or #TCJA. Very sloppy partisan report.

(1) BOOM! There goes the #TaxCutsandJobsAct. Excellent.

So now, I want to talk about LEVERAGE. But first we Dance!

(2) If y'all haven't figured it out by now, Trump is one helluva smart dude. He has a ton of stuff he wants to do the next 7 years. It's a LONG list- almost as long as Santa's.
(3) How the heck is he going to get all that stuff done? He can't just "Executive Order" his Santa List. Not happening. So how? HOW?

LEVERAGE

Listen up dummies!
1/ Here’s the scoop on what they hell is going on with #GOPTaxScam.
A couple days ago, the conference committee (Senate and House conferees) for #TaxCutsandJobsAct (barf) or #HR1 voted to move the bill to the House for a vote.
2/ This morning the House voted (227-203) to pass and it moved to the Senate.
(Ok, we knew that would happen, the House if fucking crazy and no one really understands them.)
3/ The Senate is slightly less batshit crazy and is where the real shit happens.
Sooooo…this afternoon, because the GOP is RUSHING to get this passed AND the Senate votes on EVERYTHING; a Motion to Proceed (MTP) on #HR1 passed (51-48 McCain absent).

THREAD: I'm a small-business owner. A job creator. Met with my CPA; learned that @SenateGOP @HouseGOP #TaxScamBill #TaxScam will result in a massive net tax increase to my business & me, constraining employee wages, benefits, & our ability to hire.

@GOP will pay at ballot box.
2/ Talk to your accountant. If you run a small business or are an upper-middle-class professional, you are about to get hammered thanks to the @GOP, @SenBobCorker, @SenatorCollins, etc. You may think you're rich in their eyes—statistically you're right. But no.
3/ The @SenateGOP @HouseGOP @GOP is taking money from you—YOU, the real job creators—and giving $1.5 trillion to massive C-corporations. Country club Republican doctors, lawyers, accountants, small-business people who needed relief to expand? It's your pocket being picked.

(2) The President started the week with a landmark National Security Strategy speech in Washington, DC. #PeaceThroughStrength #AmericaFirst
(3) Oh noes! He held the glass with both hands again! Probably because he unconsciously worries about spilling some, like I do. We're neat freaks and germaphobes, stop judging us!😎
