    No they support all classes, hence why they cut taxes for them all.

    1) income tax cuts
    2) corp tax cuts
    3) cap gains tax cuts
    4) development zones.
    5) working requirements for welfare

    I did....those are the answers, I even gave you one more then you requested.

    Those policies allow people to keep more of their hard earn money, get better returns on their investments, and gain wealth moving up in class and income. The left opposes those things, they need a dependent class to maintain power

    No those were right wing talking points.

    How many of those policies effect the middle and lower class? Maybe one and that one is false.

    wants

    Call them whatever, but they answered your question

    All of them have an impact on the middle and lower class....not sure how you can say they don't. Everyone that works makes and income, invest for retirement, savings, wants to own real estate etc.

    No they didn't, you didn't give me any specific policies or bills. Just the usual right wing talking points.

    Of course they do, but that bullshit you mentioned isn't what the republican party does.

    Trump's doing a GREAT Job!

    Average U.S. FICO Score Hits All-Time High Thanks To Trump Economy

    FICO score has hit an all-time high of 706 on the personal credit rating scale. Ethan Dornhelm, the vice president for scores and analytics at FICO, told CBS News that a score of more than 700 basically qualifies individuals for just about any credit at favorable terms.

    "FICO scores range from 300 to 850. A score above 700 is considered great, and a score above 760 is considered excellent. This high national credit score may be largely attributed to the strong economy, with its historically low unemployment rate, and the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act."

    He said he would make America great again.

    Mission accomplished.

    Yep and those tax cuts have come back to bite the lower and middle class in the ass. Trickle down economics doesn't work.

    I think the only middle class people who think they didn't benefit were those who either a) can't differentiate between tax refund and total taxes paid, or b) those who lost their state tax deductions (boohoo, those deductions were never fair to residents of the rest of the states anyhow), or c) the folks who hate Trump so much the could get a million dollar tax refund and still complain.

    Didn't you just claim you got a 20K wage increase. Yea you got a bigger return this year, but what are you going to get next year if this country is in a recession. Funny how republicans whined about the deficit when Pres. Obama was in office, Trump is blowing the top off of it and you guys haven't said ****. Why is that?

    If the country is in a recession next year? Well I don’t play the speculation game about what’s not happened yet. I’m talking about the now and past.

    I have, we need to cut spending...Ive been saying that, we need entitlement reform, the largest drives of debt!!

    Look up what we refer to as “entitlements” in the United States. I never said they had to stop either, just reformed

    FICO is but one part of the calculation the debt to income ratio percentage is the biggest part of the formula.

    As JFK said, a rising tide lifts all boats. The Trump economy is benefiting all classes.

    Medicaid and welfare are straight up gimme programs, which encourage laziness and irresponsibility and "breeding" (because more kids = more free sh*t.) Unless someone is genuinely disabled (or elderly), they should have to support themselves like the rest of us. I am fully in favor of true welfare reform.

    I would be hesitant, however, about SS and Medicare, as people have paid into those fair and square ---- although I could support a responsible plan to change how we handle both programs going forward.

    Yeah, all those people involved in the huge genetic testing scamming of Medicare -- I would like to be on the firing squad to mow them down backed up by trucks chock full of ammunition.
