Must disagree on one point, the tax cuts affected all of us positively. Doubling the personal deduction from $12000 to $24000 for couples filing jointly saved up middle classers a lot of $$$. Put a couple more thousand in my pocket and in the pockets of tens of thousands like me. All tax brackets were modified benefiting all. The business tax cuts were really what the cuts were all about and they benefited business tremendously. Part of what made the economy boom like it did. Reduction in corporate tax rates made US corporations more competitive around the world. Remember the better US business does the more jobs and the better we all do. Also when taxes on business are raised the business for the most part doesn’t pay it, we pay it in the form of higher prices. And yes the evil wealthy got a nice tax break but it doesn’t really have any effect on the middle class.
One other point, Obama did nothing for energy independence , he did everything to devastate the entire energy industry except of course pie in the sky green energy which was a dismal failure. He put so many regulations on the energy industry we are lucky it survived. I remember his energy czar talking about and promoting high gas prices of up to $10 a gallon and higher which would have killed energy and crashed the economy.
