Smoot Hawley caused or worsened the great depression like tea caused the Revolutionary War.
“our tax burden here in middle America is monstrous....”
Oh, pshaw. If the government let you keep your money, you’d just squander it on food, shelter, and clothing.
“we could use tax incentive to WORK”
!?Work!? /Maynard G. Krebs
“and to SAVE”
Hoarding your money while there are still people in the world who don’t have a color TV? Miser.
“and to INVEST...”
Running dog lackey of the capitalist imperialist warmongers. /1968
“workers need to know that their output means something...”
Men need to have confidence in their ability to make a living.
“presently, people make too much money on disability, on welfare, etc..”
My Navy pension and SS disability are not enough to get us by. I don’t know who is getting all this money...
“first thing, make disability mean disability...”
Yes, but bureaucrats will still mis-administer the programs.
“Smoot Hawley caused or worsened the great depression like tea caused the Revolutionary War.”
Nice one.
Make sure we have a balanced budget too! Woohoo. Trumps debt ceiling deal with Pelosi is a blank check for every entitlement program.
I am still laughing at trump playing Pelosi may I? Unfortunately, I won’t laugh long because every dem dream I s one deal away.
Trump says taxes on the rich might have to go up. A redistribution always works, right?
Nope...

Which is CREATED by SPENDING and the need to CONTROL it!
Something upsets you about spending about 1/3 of your year working to pay them taxes?
Tax reform is half the equation. Tax reform without spending reform will result in continuing and growing deficits.
Tax reduction will trigger growth that will have an inflation component . The result will be a large growth rate number.
The combined real growth and inflation will in effect decrease the real value of the debt.
That is factual, but the ignorant rats never get it
“Simple”, he says. Too many Socialists won’t stand for it, and they control the narrative.

Which one of those do you see as more Conservative?

He went for the better plan.

I will criticize Trump's tax plan when I see it. He wants corporations to bring back cash from overseas, so I am not convinced he plans on going after Corporations or the Rich.
Freeing up capital is what it is all about, and those making $200K per year and up, will pump a massive amount of money into our economy if he lets them.
Remember that increasing taxes on "the rich", effectively counter-balances the cuts to the middle class. We talking about a net gain of $ 0.00 for the private sector if he isn't careful.
Hopefully he'll recognize that.
We'll see.
Federal incomes taxes were obscene and Stalinesque before the Kennedy tax cut (passed and signed after his death by Johnson in maybe the only good act of his Presidency), it was destroying the economy. They were still oppressive and confiscatory afterword.
Thanks for the reminder.
I was too young to be aware of it then, and I’ve never gone back to look at the rates before/after.
