If the president plays this right, and he almost always does, he will enjoy a groundswell of enthusiasm from business and middle-income taxpayers. Especially if he were to declare social security 100 percent nontaxable. The Treasury takes a small hit there but it’s easily recoverable from repatriated profits and from downsizing the bureaucracy to decrease expenses on the other side of the ledger.

If the president proposes tax cuts in stages, with the middle incomes getting first relief, the opposition will have no arguments of standing with which to trash him. Although . . .

You know they will anyway.

Then. Clean up the IRS. Wow, I’m delirious. Even with setbacks, he’s always thinking of Americans. MAGA!

Chaffetz asking Trump about gift tax in oversight letter about his gift to the US treasury of the foreign payments.

They should do away with this gift tax nonsense

If Congress screws this up, it is going to send Business and Consumer confidence plunging. They better get their shit together and get this passed.

in order to keep the student loan bubble from bursting, I would suggest that they formulate a tax favorable plan similar to the health savings accounts so that responsible earners are encouraged to pay the loans down rather than let them linger and possibly default.

They can’t default, I believe.

..., they are really gonna push the repatriation of funds/amnesty to bring in $2 trillion immediately.

Bring it back, tax it at a low, flat tax rate and keep it that way to prevent future capital from flighting off-shore and let's get this economy moving!!!

This is why I voted for President Trump: JOBS.
