A major reason Obama ran the debt to $20 trillion was to prevent future Republicans from being able to enact tax cuts.

A Tax Expert’s Take on Trump’s Proposal: ‘A Truly Great Tax Plan’

American Thinker ^ | April 28, 2017 | Jack Hellner

It certainly appears that Trump has more common sense and intelligence on taxes and the economy than many of those advising him, the career politicians from both parties, the bureaucrats, the media and most economists. I am a 64 year old CPA who has been doing taxes for approximately 40 years. This is the most intelligent tax policy I have seen since Ronald Reagan’s and my initial thoughts make me believe that it is better than Reagan’s. It is a simple and logical plan that would give everyone the incentive to earn more instead of spending so much time and money trying to beat the tax man. I believe the impetus it would give to economic growth is immeasurable.

This tax plan is only a bad idea to those, who want to use tax policy to control behavior, to reward bad behavior and punish the productive citizens.

PS: See my tagline re fake news

The issue of the national debt, like the Constitution, is something progressives - Democrats and Republicans alike - only roll out when they think it serves their purposes.

The only way to make sure they get less money is to RAISE tax rates. I don’t want my taxes raised. Do you?
