    Sure by keeping taxes high on the working class, by making overburdensome regulations,

    Disney and Google are there, they can afford all this, the next guy...not so much

    Taxes on the working class haven't budged much in 30 or more years.
    In fact, have gone down temporarily at least a couple of times in those last 30 yrs. So, I don't believe that to be true.

    I don't see how any on your list as being helpful to the media courtesy of those regulations. Explain.

    They have gone down under trump. Obama raised taxes.

    Regulations are helpful to big corps like Disney because they can afford them. It’s harder to get started dealing with the red tape when you don’t have the money

    tRUMPs are temporary, as I mentioned has happened at least 2X.

    What tax did obama put on the working class?

    How does the dems keeping taxes high help the media? You dodged that claim of yours.

    Can't influence if no one pays attention to them. Or if the stories they run are seen as not worthy.

    That's it?
    The R's have had 3 yr so far to change the Republican plan called the ACA.
    But they haven't, so now it's their baby since they seem to embrace it.

    Link?
    How has those reduced taxes? Specifically to the working class, per your claim.

    Not ACA but income taxes.

    The New Tax Law: What Does It Mean for Your Tax Bill?



    TAXES TAXABLE INCOME
    The New Tax Law: What Does It Mean for Your Tax Bill?
    Does the new tax bill affect all families equally?

    BY BEVERLY BIRD

    ...

    Tax Foundation.

    Here, then, is a quick overview of how much taxpayers in each income group will save under the bill.


    If You’re a Low-Income Earner
    You should see about a 4% increase in your after-tax income if you earn less than $25,000, somewhere in the neighborhood of $60 annually for most people. Don’t spend it all at once.


    If Yours Is a Middle-Income Household
    You’ll see an additional $930 a year or so in after-tax income if you earn between $49,000 and $86,000, according to the Tax Policy Center—an increase of about 2.9%. The Tax Foundation has indicated that the “bottom” 80% of American earners, including low income and middle-income households, will see an increase in after-tax income of anywhere from 0.8% to 1.7%.


    If You're a High Earner
    The Tax Policy Center says you should see an additional $7,640 in after-tax income on average, a difference of about 1.6% if you earn between $149,400 and $308,000 a year. That’s nothing to sneeze at, and it jumps to about 4.1% if you earn more than $308,000—somewhere in the neighborhood of $13,480 in increased after-tax income annually.

    And it's temporary.

    Yes. And you tied a $$$$ value to them.
    How did that help the working class tax payer. That is your claim. The working class benefited tax wise.

    When did they have to pay those taxes? The working class people.

    They would have to have that special need in the 1st place? Correct?


    Either you can explain this and how it proves your claim or you can't. So far, you can't.
    The game you're playing is old.

    I thank you for confirming you can't prove your claim.

    And all you are capable of is game play.

    The ave working class person never had to pay those taxes to begin with.

    How? You don't pay taxes on something that you don't use.

    Are you making all this up as part of you not being able to actually back up your claim? I think so.
