Outofsalt's post 10 -- admittedly, just idle speculation but not really all that far beyond the pale. Salt's comment:
If the national minimum wage goes to $15/hr. full time workers will pay at least some taxes.
When I was a teen, it was $2 and that seemed like pure riches to me. I bussed dishes and was paid in cash.
Have you ever been to Mexico?

Wanting a day off for an important event is “entitlement-minded,” but stealing into a country where you have no right to be and taking a job you have no right to take is acceptable in your world?

Win. Win. Win.
Both personally and the company I work for which is owned by my two sons.

Sorry, friend jimmyray — meant to ping you to post 62. It’s kind close to my heart. I like a lot of Mexicans.

Neither. I would have to see the tax plan after it is passed, when all the chopping, negotiating, and back tracking are done.

Win. As retirees, we make less than $50 K annually. We should enjoy not paying taxes after doing so for 60 years.

Wanting a day off for an important event is entitlement-minded, but stealing into a country where you have no right to be and taking a job you have no right to take is acceptable in your world? Looking at it strictly from the business/employer's point of view -- absolutely, because the government has no right, morally nor Constitutionally, to force me
or you to pay an unskilled teenager more than he is worth. Yet it does, hence the Mexican even
wants the job he "has no right to," in your book.
I would be inclined to grant that the Prom night was important and try to accommodate it, but ... what about the right of the employer to pay what is equitable to his employees?

No, its not at all impossible to project...Will Social Security benefits be taxed? i.e., will they be figured into Adjusted Gross Income? Currently some may or not be taxed.

I believe everyone who lives in this country should pay some fed, state and county/city taxes...Thanks, Bernie!

I’d take a conservative position: nothing changes. Keep it simple and just use your current AGI on your last tax return.

To: Finny
There are a lot of things wrong in this country, and people expecting 15 bucks an hour to flip burgers is one of them. If there must be a minimum wage at all (I question the need for it), it should certainly be much lower than $15, or even $10. But no matter what, letting people steal into our country is not a solution for any problem. I know kids who are perfectly willing to work, and do work, like dogs, but have trouble finding and keeping jobs because there are always illegals hanging around willing to do the job for a couple bucks less an hour...Because by and large they don’t pay taxes, car insurance or large medical bills.

You can call it a flat tax, a vertical tax, or a sine-wave tax. It doesn’t really matter. What matters is whether YOU win or lose under the plan.
It’ll take five minutes to figure out on the back of an envelope. 5 minutes and third grade math.

I would assume that most deductions go away except those specifically called out as staying e.g. mortgage interest and charitable deductions. Which are useless to you anyway unless you itemize.

You may be correct.
In long run we’re all going to die, too.

It is not that easy. Are the brackets calculated after deductions, or on gross income?

A so-called fair tax isn’t coming now or anytime soon.
So do you win or lose under the Trump plan?

I think EVERYONE needs to have skin in the game, I think even lower income people NEED to pay something even if it is 1% EVERYONE in the country needs to contribute something, they vote also and they need to also contribute to the tax system!!!!!!
