Address ACA first. Then address the tax system.
Our tax code is far too complex but we need to carefully deconstruct it and put it back together.
Make things simple. Why do we have provisions that specify 59 1/2 years old and 70 1/2 years old. Half birthdays go away for people at age 6. Use whole years. I could write a book of useless, outdated, overly complex portions of our tax code.
A prohibition against trolls and mandatory contributions to FReepathons..
Broad tax cuts, especially on the corporate side, even with a border tax adjustment.
Obamacare repeal.
And the two are not even close in importance.
It is causing tens of millions of Americans to be given less than thirty five hours of work per week. It is with killing whomever has to be killed to make it go away. At the same time, it is causing people who have little money to spend thousands of dollars for a high deductible catastrophic health policy. Total insanity.
Broad tax cuts do not approach that critical level of importance.
The exact same people (with zero exceptions) who don’t see the importance of repealing it are the ones who saw no problem whatsoever with implementing it to begin with.
repealing Obamacare ...it returns how much tax dollars to the treasury ? (gross cost 1.7 trillion thru 2025)
I want to see protection of our borders, travel ban, and deportations of illegals and foreigners posing a threat or receiving public assistance.
What would you rather see from President Trump first? Broad Tax Cuts or Obamacare Repeal
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Answer is yes. Trump has been daily (hourly even) accomplishing these types of things since he was sworn in. No reason why this can’t be done this week or next.
MAGA.
Tax cuts first. Meanwhile, he can eliminate Obamacare penalties and revoke all Obamacare waivers (including congress’) with the stroke of a pen. That will get things moving faster.
President Trump was elected by over 60 million people.
Too many of us have personal vested agendas for President Trump. Some act like a 2 year old yelling, screaming and holding their breath until they pass out. If Trump doesn’t jump on their personal bandwagon. Or by vowing not to support him because their personal agenda hasn’t been addressed in 2+ weeks.
President Trump has a very good team. They are determining what priorities need to be addressed for the good of the nation, not me.
So instead of screaming, holding my breath and crying, I will continue to support our new President with his prioties for America.
MAGA means Make America Great Again for Americans not just for Grampa Dave!
I would like to see application of Sherman Antitrust laws used against healthcare providers, insurance companies and drug manufacturers to end their price fixing.
Paul Ryan has introduced legislation to exempt health care professionals from Federal antitrust laws:
TITLE VI—Miscellaneous provisions
SEC. 601. Quality health care coalition.
(a) Application of the Federal antitrust laws to health care professionals negotiating with health plans.—
(1) IN GENERAL.—Any health care professionals who are engaged in negotiations with a health plan regarding the terms of any contract under which the professionals provide health care items or services for which benefits are provided under such plan shall, in connection with such negotiations, be exempt from the Federal antitrust laws.
As Karl Denninger eloquently states:
http://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=231812
15 United States Code Chapter 1 makes explicitly illegal any sort of price-fixing or collusion where market power exists. It provides both heavy civil ($10 to $100 million per instance) fines for persons and corporations, respectively, and in addition provides for felony criminal penalties of up to 10 years imprisonment for all persons involved.
Ryan’s bill will ensure that current law is not applied to the heath care industry.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. They are not fixing healthcare and it will eat us alive with the current rate of growth.
Walk AND chew gum.
Law and order border to border.
They are interdependent.
We must establish a financial understanding of the “replace” elements for healthcare, before proposing specific tax policy.
Obamacare has to die. The best way to do that is to push it through before the establishment finds an effective narrative to stop the restoration of constitutional government. Go for the big wins early:
Build the wall.
Repeal (not replace) Obamacare.
Deport illegals.
Reduce regulations.
Shrink FedGov.
Follow that with tax cuts, eventually, but they can wait. We owe it to our children to start paying down Obama’s crippling debt once we’ve shrunken FedGov.

Easy. TAX CUTS!!!
Obamacare Repral is job 1.
Full repeal. End it, dont mend it. The 20 pages of good policybamong the 2000 pages of slime can always be established in the new health care law.
End Obamacare fully NOW.
END IT, DONT MENT IT.
Obamcare repeal, after all wouldn’t that be a Tax Cut for those not on the public dole and who are really paying for this crap sandwich?-)
Build the Wall!!
Yes
