So how is a tax cut going to help us with Covid-19?

 
I saw trump's tax cut solution this morning and I was floored, especially since I am still waiting for the last one to help me.

I am so glad we have Speaker Pelosi and not Speaker Ryan now.

If you're a taker rather than a maker, no tax cut in the world is going to help your situation.

IIRC, Trump proposed a temporary cut in the payroll tax. This would be a BIG help to companies whose operations are disrupted by coronavirus, whether small companies unable to get materials from China (and other countries) or large companies unable to do business travel (e.g. marketing shows, engineering design reviews, technical support, etc.) and/or have people who had/have to be quarantined after travel.

If DU-member Norbert can't figure out at least some of that - it's not complicated if I can figure it out! - maybe his/her "career" has involved considerable dependence on government social programs.

I think that drives 99% of their thinking.  Just reading over there for the last many years I've come to the conclusion that at least 50% (and probably far more) are on some kind of government assistance and I'm NOT talking about those who are drawing their earned SS benefits.  IE; those who have actually worked, contributed, and are now retired drawing their retirement assistance check.

I can understand, though, why DU-folk would be POed by the possibility of the economic damage and layoffs DU-folk so desire being mitigated and/or averted.

Absolutely.  They fully buy into the concept of "No good crisis should go to waste".  That's it, plain and simple.  If there's a way to make political hay off of this, they are going to be angling for it.  They MUST have a good crisis because they know they are not going to beat Trump in November without something, anything.  They reek of desperation.
