You Can't make this stuff up.

Senate Republicans adhere to an artificial constraint so they have to screw Americans to get a Business Tax Cut.

I sure hope Trump renews his mantra of eliminating the filibuster.

It doesn’t matter, it isn’t going to pass, these jerks can’t do anything, they are all liars, their platform is lies, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if they get tossed out on their asses next year, and then help the demonrats impeach Trump, which they would be just fine with.

As they prepare to unveil their own sweeping tax plan

If you currently pay taxes, you still will. If you don't currently pay taxes, you still won't.

New tax plan, same as the old tax plan.

In before the renter freepers who are ok with this because they don’t believe someone with a mortgage should get a tax advantage.

Filibuster = filishuster.

These RINOs have no intention of turning off the fire hose of tax revenues. A true tax cut would involve collecting LESS TAX not the same or more.

It is the old cart before the horse problem. Spending needs to be cut before any, I say ANY, tax reform is possible.

The PUBs are not one iota differrent than the Dems. Worse, they live in fear of losing control if they don't walk the same line as the DIMs. There as many progressives in the GOP as in the Democratic part.

I have little hope of real change.

It is no wonder that the US has problems.

The Democrats and Republicans are just two cheeks on the same a$$.

This isn’t a tax cut - it’s a deduction cut. The problem with reducing and cutting reductions is that people will get used to it and, then, the politicians will raise the tax rates again.

This is beginning to sound more and more like a break-even at best for the middle class TAXPAYERS. Seems all the breaks are for the breeders. I don’t want tax reductions for others where I don’t get any breaks. Republicans are just as useless as democrats.

12 for FICA income, 25 for other income above that, 15 percent corporate and pass-through, eliminate nearly all deductions and creidt, 12% on all capital gains and dividends, including real estate. But of course, that might call for actual reductions in spending, and we wouldn’t want that, right? /sarc

If individuals all share the load, we can keep the increase to a minimum, and give a real boost to business.
