Wow, 32 cents on the dollar of income, iow 68 percent tax rate, that does sound serious.
sure, maybe my 401 might get a bump...
I'll predict this....regular people won't see much...
but you betcha that those multi millionaire CEO's will get big pay raises and bonuses in the millions...
again, making the regular people the laughing stock of this country...
“..forcing the middle class to ‘pay for’ corporate America’s tax cut.”
Exactly. No one, including the upper middle class, should have to pay more taxes!
The GOP can spin all the numbers they want to, but it’s still going to add up to losing upper middle class voters in 2018. I sometimes wonder about the GOP brain’s capacity.
There are some really good features of the tax bill. Why would they screw it all up by raising anyone’s taxes?
Because, like Democrats, the GOP-e rejects empirical evidence, which has shown that receipts to the US Treasury actually RISE, when all tax burdens are lowered.
Ryan and McConnell began this exercise from the starting point of revenue neutrality, meaning that a cut in federal government revenue was off the table.
If that's where you start, you can't craft anything but a shell game, which is what they've done.
” If Republicans don’t get it, they’ll lose control of Congress.”
Republicans WANT to lose control of congress.
Between the 36% tax rate I'll be forced into and the 33% of my monthly income I'm forced to pay because ex-wife and no-fault divorce I'm not kidding .......
And once the Trump "Tax Reform" plan makes it so I can no longer deduct the forced at the point of a gun alimony? Yep, I count that as a TAX HIKE which reduces me to living on next to nothing for my troubles of having a job and being a high-income earner.
Talk about getting f**ked without getting kissed .....
Clipherbrakeline,oops,ImeannowIgetwhatyouresaying.Hmm,timetotryyetanotherkeyboard.
Hard to argue the truth of that statement given their inability to get a single issue right or repeal the disaster known as Obamacare since winning the election last year ....
I've said it for decades now: I hate the Democrats and I hate the Republican's even more than I hate the Democrats.
Gotta give the Democrats credit though: they say what they'll do when they win an election and they do it. I disagree with every damn' thing they do but they hold true to their word.
Republicans on the other hand say what they're going to do, get elected, then do whatever the Democrats want them to do.
Proof: They went right along with doubling the national debt under the disaster that's known as the Obama Administration. They had the power to stop it (the House of Representatives controls the country's checkbook and what we pay for/don't pay for) and instead they went right along with everything Obama wanted, caved, and paid for it.
Republicans are COWARDS and deserve the most heinous, painful, public political death. There is absolutely ZERO use for the Republican party anymore. They may as well all flip their party affiliation to (D) and get it over with.
