The Telegraph ^ | March,25,2017 | Reuters

After failing to repeal Obamacare, Republicans in the U.S. Congress quickly pivoted on Friday to President Donald Trump's next priority: overhauling the federal tax code, but their plan has already split the business community.

Seems like a ‘do or die’ test.

Get something good done here!

My confidence in republicans is zero point zero zero. The tax bill will not only be kraptastic to a stunning degree, but would also cause dems to projectile ejaculate if the plan was delivered by a (D), but since it is (R) they will squeal about how bad it is and ululate and dance and celebrate in the street after its crash and burn like palestinians after a bus load of 4 year olds is bombed in Israel.

Is the Freedom Caucus next going to stymie Trump’s tax bill, whatever it turns out to be, or insist upon a gov’t shutdown over the debt ceiling? What’s next on their agenda?

We finally got a president for the people...The republicans better vote for Trump’s proposed cuts...

Of course, the Washington elite “professional politicians” don’t give a crap about the people...

“What’s next on their agenda?”

More of the same. Whatever Ryan proposes they will say it’s not enough and will kill it. Then they will get killed in the midterms.

I completely disagree with this.

What is needed is an aggressive campaign to bring back jobs to America, led by Trump.

He is the FIRST GUY in over one entire generation, to actually be for American jobs.

The first guy.

Run with that President Trump. That is your key issue, in addition to the border wall.

All the rest of this is important, but that is critical.

Bring back jobs to America.

First.

Don’t worry Ryan is safe, I’m sure the hypocritical FC will vote for him again.

They better get this one through, or they will have proven without a doubt that they are too incompetent and hard-headed to get anything done together on behalf of the American people. They at least need to get the corporate taxes down, so that Trump can lure businesses back to the US and make this country a business friendly environment again.

I’m just saying.

American medical care is EXPENSIVE.

That is the problem. That is what needs to change. Not worrying about who does this, or who does that. The entire system is just about making money.

That was not done. Now we change directions, but I want Trump to focus on global trade next.

That is HUGE.

He can make another effort at healthcare in a while, but now he needs to focus on something else.

I say, Trade.

Just me, but I’m 100% for bringing jobs back to America.

That is why Trump won the election.

Act on that, Trump. Just my opinion.

Yep, being in charge and held responsible is not fun.
Saying no to everything now has bad consequences.

But its finally come.

Its going to take real leadership by Trump to get them ( Freedom Caucus)to support a tax cut bill that passes that slim majority in the Senate.

Trump, Ryan and McConnell better have a strategy to get both sides (of GOP) in line on tax cuts.

Or its over.

“Is the Freedom Caucus next going to stymie Trump’s tax bill”

If it’s as bad as RyanCare, I pray that they shut that down too.

Oh, and RyanCare was the insurance companies’ bill, NOT President Trump’s.

And here’s hoping that President Trump sends HIS tax bill to Congress, and does NOT let that lying, RINO, GOPe, weasel Paul Ryan write it.
