You should include the other key quote from the article:

Quote
“The parts of the Trump tax cuts that really benefit the rich are not the personal-income-tax cuts but the corporate-income-tax cuts and estate-tax cuts,” according to Wamhoff. Rule changes surrounding corporate taxes, “which mainly benefit the (mostly rich) people who own corporate stocks, and the estate-tax cuts, are the parts of the law that made it a good deal for the rich,” Wamhoff said.

He added: “No one ever said that low- or middle-income people would get no benefits from the Trump tax law. What ITEP and others pointed out from the beginning was that the rich would get a disproportionate share of the benefits of the law and nothing in this data conflicts with that.”

Fucking weird man. I met Meadows before he was even in congress multiple times. He just hung out with us and shot the shit about upcoming elections while we (the younger peeps) drank a bunch. Now hes Trumps chief of staff. Going to be weird to see how much of a bus he gets thrown under in about 4 months. Even if he has kind of turned into a useful idiot, I wouldn't wish being under Trump's life destruction trend on him.

Trump 'dossier' author Christopher Steele rejects prosecutor's interview request

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-steele/trump-dossier-author-christopher-steele-rejects-prosecutors-interview-request-idUSKBN20T31O

Quote
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The former British intelligence officer who produced a ‘dossier’ linking Donald Trump and his presidential campaign to Russia has declined to give an interview to a prosecutor assigned by U.S. Attorney General William Barr to investigate aspects of the 2016 U.S. campaign, three sources familiar with the matter said.

The prosecution team, led by Connecticut-based federal prosecutor John Durham, recently approached representatives of Christopher Steele, the former British spy who produced the Trump dossier for a Washington-based investigations firm hired by Democratic Party lawyers.

Steele’s representatives told Durham’s team that the former officer for Britain’s Secret Intelligence Service, also known as MI6, was not interested in cooperating with Durham’s investigation and would not speak to his team, the sources said. Steele was concerned that Durham’s investigation was overly politicized and he would not be treated fairly, the sources said.




Funny that Steele is worried that Durham's investigation is politicized, but didn't feel that way during Russiagate, which was 200% politicized. I guess Durham isn't paying enough. :lol:

The Trump administration’s decision to forgo a World Health Organization test and create its own had fateful consequences, experts say.

I'm curious if there's any argumentation against that, dunno who are the "experts" tho.

"
The rivalries in the administration — between health agencies such as the FDA and CDC, and between individual officials — that appeared to hamper the initial response have been only partly quelled by the appointment of Pence as leader of the task force.

.

I guess it's the 1rst healthcare system ONLY for those who can pay or have public insurance like lawmakers or high officials.



Funny.

Personally, I'd trust the FDA and the CDC tests above any other tests.

Why no percentages. Percentage wise... the US has the best response of any country.

The no one ever said part is false. I repeatedly heard it on many msm outlets and on here.

Are we really going to pretend that the tax cuts were not repeatedly labeled to benefit the rich and/or corporations consistently?

They ARE benefitting the rich and corporations, and they are doing so disproportionately (compared to what the middle class got out of those tax cuts). Which is why the tax cuts never became all that popular with the public.
