Republican Tax Cuts And The New Gentry
Actually I think, we may and it looks to me that the Tax Cuts And Jobs Act is meant for them, It’s really amusing because a more accurate title might be The Tax Cuts For People Who Don’t Need Jobs Act. I use the word “need” advisedly. Many of the New Gentry have, what you and I might call jobs. And they might work very hard at them and be well paid. What they actually have though are careers. Careers and jobs look very similar from the outside, but they are different. A career is something you do to contribute to society and have a sense of affirmative purpose. It might be a sacred calling or perhaps a frivolous pursuit. A job is something that you do to feed your family.
A good job is clean work with no heavy lifting that pays well. Those jobs look a lot like careers.

Don’t get me wrong, I have a rule that my kids are not allowed to use the word “only” in association with any amount greater than four dollars, but still. Imagine Joe Median saying to himself “Thank you, President Trump, now I can finally take the kids to Disneyworld. ” And then he realizes that a thousand and change would maybe pay for the tickets for three days and he lives a long way from Orlando and does not have any relatives he can crash on. OK OK you want to know what is in the bill, not my thoughts about the Magic Kingdom.

Over and over again courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging one’s affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everybody does so, rich or poor; and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands: taxes are enforced exactions, not voluntary contributions. To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant.
