    Well, after you saved $2500 on your health insurance thanks to Obama, you’re still $1800 ahead of the game.

    You taxes or your tax RATE went up? Why? Did you move to a higher bracket? Did your kid move out and you lost the dependent? Did you no longer have a mortgage? What specifically went and what caused it because I clearly refuted your claim the middle did not get a tax cut or one of any substance.

    And I asked you about your complaint about the personal income tax rate cuts and you keep dodging PLEASE RESPOND

    Explain why the personal income tax rates sunsetted after 10 years while the corporate rate did not. Which party was responsible for that?

    This is the first time I have seen someone report on a company lawsuit without naming the company

    The name of the company is TC Energy, which stands for Trans Canada.

    Nope what, there had to be a reason you owed more since your rates were cut. Saying you owed more in actual dollars does not prove you did not get a tax rate cut, not AT ALL. What is the point of your statement what are you trying to prove?

    nope, just have to look at one year and the other on the returns, easy to see

    sadly I was one of those that was not helped by the tax cut

    the real winners were the corps, not the middle class

    Biden has an Article 2, where he has the right to do whatever he wants as president.

    What do you want to use say on a heavy dozer or a huge truck? Wait, what about that jet airplane?

    What I believe he wanted is for the lowest taxed to collect a hell of a lot and the highest taxed to pay even more.

    The 15 billion lawsuit referred to in your OP is literally a Canadian company using a free trade agreement to sue the US government. Here's the written statement from the company

    “TC Energy will be seeking to recover more than $15 billion in damages that it has suffered as a result of the U.S. Government’s breach of its NAFTA obligations”

    https://www.politico.com/news/2021/...m-to-recoup-15b-in-keystone-xl-damages-498533

    Once again, this is a pipeline with the design purpose of importing more oil from Canada

    You sound as if you confuse rates with actual dollars.
    Those paying the most of course got proper cuts.
    You have refused requests by others to explain in full your actual condition. We can't help you when you refuse. Maybe you have a bad accountant.

    I was sidetracked by others posters remarks.
    But you are correct. TC is suing Biden. And thank god he is being sued.

    I never said that I was satisfied that Biden has it. I'm on the record as being against the "unitary executive" regardless of party. You ASSume too much, and expose yourself.

    I don't blame you for not understanding what the lawsuit is, the video report you shared fails to give any of the proper details.

    It was in response to what you said. I never reported what you ASSume or think is correct.

    My position hasn't changed with the occupancy of the White House. Can you say the same? Were you against it when Cantaloupe Caligula said it?

    Gosh I am very sorry but the two men discussing it were very good explaining all of it. What confused you?

    I do understand what the lawsuit is all about. Do as I did and listen to them explaining it one more time. I expect you will get it very well.

    I do not understand your phraseology. Sorry. Biden put us in harms way in this suit.

    And yet you were surprised that the sole purpose of the pipeline was to import Canadian oil and that it would be owned by a Canadian company. Curious that...
