Rep. Dave Brat (R) is warning that the leadership in Congress is punting on tax-reform until 2018. With Republicans in complete control of all branches of government including Congress and the Presidency they have yet to pass any meaningful legislation. After a major flop on Obamacare repeal and replace the rumor is that in the Republican lead Senate 'that tax reform is not going to take place until next year, for some reason.'
Rep. Dave Brat writes that, 'Senate leadership is hinting (or just flat-out stating) that they will craft a tax plan with Democrats in order to get to 60 votes, when Congress can pass tax reform under reconciliation THIS MONTH incorporating Republican principles.'
Conservatives have spent the last decade fighting for sanity by giving the GOP the keys to the car and the GOP will completely waste it. Brat continues, 'No doubt that the president is aware of this, which could explain much of the maneuvering that's going on as the president is fed up with excuses from leadership for not doing the right thing.'
Republicans must start the Tax Reform/Tax Cut legislation ASAP. Don't wait until the end of September. Needed now more than ever. Hurry! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 8, 2017
'As your representative, I want to put on the record right now that I seriously cannot explain what is going on with leadership's highly-flawed decision making. We need a national push to ensure that we do not find ourselves handing over the keys to the car so that Democratic leaders can steer us over the cliff.'
'This past week, fiscal conservatives were boxed into a vote by the Treasury Secretary and leadership for a spending/debt package with no reforms whatsoever. A pattern is clearly emerging, one that everyone understands quite well, as we've seen it time and again. We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to bring tax rates down, to get rid of all of the loopholes and to drain the swamp with Republican votes. I cannot imagine how off-track tax reform will get if we turn this important decision-making process over to Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi -- who have made it abundantly clear that they resist every goal of this administration.'
Mitch McConnell MUST GO. The Senate is abdicating it's duty and refusing to craft a conservative tax-reform bill.
Watch how fast they can tee up an amnesty bill.
No surprise. The GOP has been working with OR surrendering to
RATs for decades.
Bastards.
No doubt.
It’s time for article 5..
Short of that, cw2 will warm up.
The GOP obstruction is not about policy. It is personal hatred of the President.
Posterity needs to know by whom and by what ideology their Constitutionally-protected liberties were stripped from them!
In his First Inaugural, Thomas Jefferson outlined the Principles underlying his Administration, and then stated:
"These principles form the bright constellation which has gone before us and guided our steps through an age of revolution and reformation. The wisdom of our sages and blood of our heroes have been devoted to their attainment. They should be the creed of our political faith, the text of civic instruction, the touchstone by which to try the services of those we trust; and should we wander from them in moments of error or of alarm, let us hasten to retrace our steps and to regain the road which alone leads to peace, liberty, and safety."
” We need a national push to ensure...”
The national push occurred on 11/8/2016. Ball’s in your court, pal.
Since corrupt, uniparty-controlled Congress refuses to support Pres. Trump, his first two years in office are arguably for practice.
Patriots must make sure that there are plenty of Trump-supporting patriots on primary ballots so that they can elect as many Trump-supporting candidates to office in Nov. ’18.
Watch how fast they can tee up an amnesty bill.<<
Yup!..it will go something like this...
WE WILL ALLOW 6 MILLION MORE REFUGEES INTO THIS COUNTRY IN THE NEXT 6 MONTHS....NOT 1 MORE!!!....
IN THE NAME OF DIVERSITY WE NEED 5.5 MILLION RAPIST, THUGS AND GANG MEMBERS....APPLY EARLY!!! ...
WE ALREADY HAVE ENOUGH DOCTORS, ENGINEERS AND PROFESSIONAL PEOPLE...
Trump said...."Watch this". And signed the Aid/Ceiling legislation.
Yertle is a coward
1. Reduce tax rates (as previously discussed).
2. Double the “standard deduction”
3. Double the “Childcare Credit” and makes it refundable.
4. Define “carried interest income” as “ordinary taxable income”.
5. Limit the annual tax deduction for “charitable deductions” to $1 million per individual taxpayer and to $100,000 per tax-paying corporation, trust, etc.
6. Make “excess administrative expenses” incurred by so-called “non-profit” entities taxable.
That's it. SIMPLE. Clear. Free of “pork”....
A bill that could pass BOTH Houses in a single week.
Then the “porkers” can take as long as they want to lard up a follow-on “Tax Code Simplification(?) Bill” with “goodies” for themselves without delaying the Trump Recovery.
Cut spending! Cut waste! Cut over regulation!
Everything else is shuffling chairs on the deck of the Titanic.
It’s about keeping the 30 year policy of non-enforcement of borders and laws and the 30 million people they invited here.
El Tortuga’s slap back at Trump.
Same as it always was.
The whole lot of them need to hang. Bastards.
