    Uhmmm, no, both articles are about the Trump Tax Cuts and how they are being used to buy back stock, rather than give employees raises. Did you actually read the articles where the words "tax cut" is in the title of each before saying they are repatriation of overseas profits?

    Same links below, with the title...

    "Tax cut scoreboard: Workers $6 billion; Shareholders $171 billion"

    Only 13% of business' tax cuts are going to workers, survey says

    Lamb ran as a conservative saying that he supported the 2nd Amendment, was pro-life and agreed with Trump on Tariffs.

    The only way a Democrat can win in a conservative district is to lie.

    Once in office, Lamb will make a hard left and vote alt-left Democratic party line every single time.

    The supported statement and truth is that a Democrat one a GOP gerrymandered district. What other proof, facts, truth do you need?

    He's not a prog, so he has no future beyond this special election. Unless the prog coup of the Democrat party is over and sanity is returning. If Democrats actually reclaimed their party for the regressive progs, that would be a win for America worth a few Congressional seats...

    The ones that were well within the margin of victory? Just because the EC predictions didn't pan out, doesn't mean that the polls were wrong.

    Politicians have this nasty habit of flip flopping to get elected. And once in office, they flip flop right back to the way they have always been.......towing the party line.

    I get my information from the WSJ. It’s absurd to argue that the tax cuts all go to increasing the wages of workers. The tax cuts act to reduce prices resulting in increased economic growth and more jobs. Wages increase organically as competition for labor increases.

    Why should not some of the repatriated profits benefit shareholders which include pension funds, IRA’s, 401K’s, and mutual funds. That’s beneficial to the middle class.

    "repatriation of overseas profits" is unsupported by quantification.

    No need for communism.
    In fact, our constitution wouldn't allow it.

    Russell, I suspect your are way out of your league here. Look up "quantification".

    No, he ran as a conservative saying that he doesn't want any new gun control laws, is against abortion, and supports Trump's tariffs.

    But when in office, he will take a hard left and follow the alt-left Democratic party line.

    JakeStarkey said: He ran as a center left moderate and won.

    MolonLabe argue that Lamba "ran as a conservative," when in fact he is pro choice, pro union, pro Pelosi, pro stricter gun check background regulations, and so on.

    We see the electorate sliding away to the left of the mainstream GOP.

    Trump liked it, so he is sliding left as well.

    The electorate punished the Dems for the Republicans collapse of the economy in 2008.

    Granted but with the gerrymandering eliminated in PA that means that the Dems retaking the House is now down to less than 20 seats needing to be flipped.

    Are you calling the electorate stupid?

    And you wonder why you actually lost.

    That's funny.
