"The estate tax is immoral."

Agreed on that. The estate tax needs to go.

If the GOP can’t agree on a tax plan, I can make it so simple. Simply lower the corporate income tax and lower the income tax across all income levels. Tax revenues will increase as the economy grows.

Don’t do anything else.

Trump using reverse psyche on them - if they think it will “kill” him, they are more apt to vote for it and give us some form of middle class bennies and the actual reform.

the problem is... all those things they are eliminating ... are popular... and everyone keeps forgetting about the doubling of the standard deduction.

...

You’re right. It rarely gets mentioned.

You’re right. It rarely gets mentioned.

Almost as rarely as the elimination of the personal exemption, which means that for a family of three the increase in standard exemption is completely erased by the loss in personal exemption. For a family of four or more taxable income increases under this plan.

it’s like saying...

I am going to give you a $100...

but I am going to take away your:

gallon of ice cream $5
12 pack of soda $5
and all your ribeye steaks $30

no one will care that you are giving them more than enough to buy all that a still have money in your pocket, all they see is your taking away something they like.

:(
