WASHINGTON—In the wake of the $1.5 trillion tax bill’s historic passage in both the House and the Senate, GOP leaders reportedly celebrated Wednesday their decisive win over everyday American citizens.

“This is a monumental victory not only for us, but for everyone struggling under the reign of the average American,” said Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell, adding that party leaders made a promise to “take a stand against ordinary U.S. citizens,” before cracking open a bottle of champagne and proudly declaring that “today, we delivered.”

“Of course, the fight against the people of this country is not yet over. We won this battle, but the war is still to come. However, if we carry on with the same vigor demonstrated today in our widely opposed tax overhaul, I know that we will prevail over Americans time and time again.”

GOP leaders also expressed confidence that they would achieve another dominant victory over the American people as they push to close the deficit by cutting food stamp programs, Social Security, and Medicare.

Merry Christmas!*

*Mostly if you're rich.
*Or a corporation.
*Also, if you're a rich corporation.
*Not intended as a gift for a religious holiday.
*Tax cuts will not impact next year's taxes, much less help you with this Christmas.
*Honestly, you should be wrapping up your shopping at this point anyway. Get it...wrapping, ah nevermind.
*Tax cuts mostly do not take effect until 2019.
*Tax cuts will actually negatively impact state taxes in many states, especially in state's that largely hate these tax cuts.
*Happy Chanukkah and Kwanza, too. Kinda rude to have a government official assume you're Christian, amirite?
*Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.
*No idea how we're gonna pay for this shit.

We don't care about how to pay for it. We're baby boomers and we'll be dead soon. Fuck the Xers and Millenials, we just wanna have fun for a while!

Paul Ryan just undercut a major Republican argument about the GOP tax bill

But on Wednesday, with Congress on the edge of finally passing the massive tax bill, House Speaker Paul Ryan suggested he was not so sure about the last of those promises. Ryan was asked on NBC's "Today" show whether the tax bill would increase the deficit or would pay for itself through economic growth.

"Nobody knows the answer to that question, because that's in the future, but what we do know is that this will increase economic growth," Ryan said.


So you can predict the future that it will increase growth but you have no clue how you will pay for it? :scratch:

In the new bill it states 'if real Slenderman gets a tax cut'.
