“ No attention should be paid to Democratic claims that it is a giveaway to the rich — most middle class and lower class families would see significant tax relief under the plan”

I can’t exactly ask Conrad to back this up, especially since the final bill hasn’t been revealed yet, if I understand it correctly But if forced to bet money, I would bet it isn’t true. And then Conrad follows it up with the claim of budget deficits not increasing after this tax cut. This will be easy to check in the upcoming years

pillz, my boy, do you support Conrad’s claims here? Maybe you can back it up?

Only thing getting backed up is your wife's shit as she gets a train run on her in your bedroom.

Jail term has changed Conrad. Not that it is shocking. He was always super conservative, but the old type conservative, where you get to employ reason to back up your beliefs. I am actually fond of the guy, I thought his FDR biography was very good and back in the 1990s I thought that Jean Chrétien was really small and petty when he demanded Black give up his citizenship, in order to become British peer. In fact, that was the time I got interested in politics iirc. But now, after American justice system fucked him, he seems bitter and his claims are empty

Not a surprise the whole article is trash. Pillz is on the intelligence level of the typical cuckservative here.

I want to believe that we have a discourse in Canada, so I am not dismissing stuff out of hand, especially the stuff written by CB, who is a remarkable human being, whatever you think of his polical views. But garbage is garbage, doesn’t matter who writes it. I wish CB spells out justification for his wild claims

"The year ends with Canada in an oddly satisfied state of mind, politically. The United States is about to pass a tax cut and simplification bill that will excuse a majority of Americans from personal income tax altogether, enable 80 per cent of income tax payers to file their returns on a post card, reduce the top personal rate to 37 per cent and the corporate rate to 21 per cent."

Literally the first sentence of his article is completely full of shit.

The people who call themselves conservatives today are simply reactionary imbeciles. It will take a long time to rebuild a conservative movement not based on easy placability of the white non-college-edcuated voter to lies.

Well, he is citing the first year only. The bill supposedly has tax cuts for the middle-class that expire. So could be thinking on those terms.
