Trump: 'Phenomenal' Tax Cut Package Coming in 2-3 Weeks

President Trump to his conservative critics: I read you loud and clear! 

After coming under criticism from many on the right — most prominently, the Drudge Report — for seeming to move popular campaign promises like repealing ObamaCare and reining in the tax code to the back burner, this morning Trump promised a “phenomenal” tax reform package will be presented in the next two to three weeks.  Speaking to airline executives at the White House, Trump empathized with the burdensome regulatory climate the industry is operating under, and promised to begin making reforms.

"We want to help you realize these goals by rolling back burdensome regulations, and you people are regulated probably as much as almost anybody," Trump said. "We have a regulatory morass that's a disaster." He also promised a round of tax cuts. 

"Lowering the overall tax burden on American business is big league, that’s coming along very well," Trump said. "We’re way ahead of schedule, I believe. And we’re going to be announcing something -- I would say over the next two or three weeks -- that will be phenomenal."

He sure is.

It’s baffling to me the children who constantly find a reason to trash this guy.

Amazing...

I have AZ Public Service for my electricity and they are higher than Salt River Project. Makes me sick to hear what others pay vs what APS customers pay each month.

I’d like to see the immediate end of the telecommunications taxes begun by BJ the Great so that all God’s chillun could have Internet and cell phones.

O, you live in Texas too, huh? I have a cell phone service that is cheaper than just about anyone’s but the pages of billing are ridiculous. Tax for this and tax for that and tax on top of tax for this and that. If we had soup cans and strings they’d find a way to tax us for the length of string or the size of the cans.

BJ and the Fraud told us that Internet, cell phones and health insurance are unalienable rights, unlike freedom of religion/speech and keeping and bearing arms.

“For those paying zero taxes there will be a 500 percent tax reduction, retroactive to 1945.”

While not entirely devoid of math skills I have difficulty in trying to say just how that would be calculated.

tax breaks should be for people that pay all the taxes...the income taxes, the SS and Medicare taxes, the property taxes etc....

sooo many people do not pay any tax.

Easy. Five hundred percent of zero is zero. :-)
