Tax cuts for the rich = tax cuts for the middle class.

Dunno, it seemed to work when the Obamadork and his collection of low IQ lib supporters did that for GM, insurance companies supporting his idiot health program, and the numerous other examples of crony capitalism extant.

Shove it, dork.

One smarr probrem, Grasshopper. Lowering taxes actually increases revenue to the Treasury which gives totalitarians even more money to spend.

The GOP could get more creative by tying cuts in corporate tax rates to percentages of US citizens hired and percentages of operations located in the US and compliance with legal work status verification and a commitment to NOT replace US workers with foreign ones.

I’m not usually for this kind of thing but the fact is it already exists and we can either cast taxes in such a way that it wins the hearts and minds of the US working class or we can cast it so it appears to benefit only the most well off which of course isn’t true but with a media as it is perception becomes reality.

Also by doing this we put Democrats and pro amnesty types on the defensive. Most Americans believe American citizens should be first in line for US jobs and should not be replaced by foreign labor. Its an easy win for the GOP and it would reward companies that are pro US and incentify a return to the US.

sharply cutting top rates will lose the government trillions in revenue at a time the national debt is at historically high levels

typical "progressive" moron drooling the same old tired inaccurate BS.

lowering tax rates have repeatedly proven to have a positive growth effect on the economy and to increase revenue to the govt. thats a FACT, something with which a liberal nitwit is not familiar.

Do an Obama!

Tax!!!! Tax everyone who does not pay a tax. The lower tax level is exempt from taxes so remove that exemption and have a flat minimum figure for everyone in that category. If even a dollar, it would be a sizable addition to the treasury.

But the idea I like best is: approve a constitutional amendment that only citizen tax payers are eligible to vote in national elections - no tax, no ballot!

How many FR-er's been through a Corp Downsizing? A Kazien Event, Taguchi, Demming, Six Sigma?

Any process t to truly looking at how and what you do and if still need to do it. It is brutal, but you need to do sometimes to survive, especially if you mission is shareholder value and you pedal to GAAP and Sarb-Ox.

This article didn't mention re-inventing/downsizing at all.

We haven't done that with Fedzilla and every freakin' program, line item, grant, and Cabinet Level Departments.

Why no mention of not spending a dime on NPR/PBS, and privatizing AMTRAK, and finally getting rid of Fannie and Freddie and Sally Mae for starters.

Lord help us if "Jim P" is another beltway bandit mindset that this is off limits, because my guess darn near 100% of the Reaganites aka us Tea Partier's want to lift up the hood and get it running right....

Recently Stephen Moore, chief economist at the GOP-aligned Heritage Foundation, argued that tax reform should "ensure that everyone — except the very poor — pays at least some income tax." Keep in mind that according to the 2012 exit polls, Mitt Romney lost to Obama 86 percent to 16 percent among voters who most valued empathy in their presidential pick. Is the party shooting for 100-0 next time around? Hillary Clinton would like to know.

Does the writer not see how dangerous it is to have a tax system where 40% have nothing to lose and everything to gain if rates are jacked up?

One of the primary reasons I always supported tax cuts was to defund and cut back on the massive growth of the government state. But with all the endless deficit-spending and QE money-printing (and the apparent lack of economic punishment from doing so, via interest rates and such), the whole aspect of taxes on government spending seems a rather moot part of the equation now.

Added to this, I don’t really trust the corrupt scumbags who would just make changes to the system to promote their own winners and losers. So, I can’t say the issue of ‘taxes’ resonates with me the way it once did, in swaying my vote, other than perhaps in terms of local scenarios. And I certainly have no sympathy for the Wall Street crowd, with their pushing of things like amnesty and the homo agenda. Anything that hurts them is now fine by me.

Cut corporate taxes because corporations don’t pay taxes, they simply pass them on to their customers as a cost of doing business.

Sadly, I think he is right. Economically fatuous, but politically correct.

2016 is going to be fought on the battlefield of Economic Populism, for better or worse.

the tax simplification act of 1986 was the biggest tax increase in history.

It eliminated all the provisions that allowed you not to pay taxes, even though the top rate was 70%, and cut it to just under 40%.

Reagan screwed us royaly!

I pay more now when i’m in the 10% bracket than in the 70s and 80s when my income was way over $100k/year.

No need to go and promise any tax cuts...

Just promise to cut government. Slash it. Get it down to limited (the key word) size.

The rest on taxes, the deficit, and so on, will follow.

problem is, the only people who pay taxes are “the
rich”

defined as anyone with an extra dime in their pocket after meeting living expenses

Let me see. Is it better for the economy for the rich to invest their money or for them to give it to the government to waste?

Rick Santorum drew a fair bit of support from blue collar taxpayers by talking about eliminating the taxes imposed for manufacturing things.

It wasn’t so much that it was money directly in their pockets but it is something that the average blue collar guy understands as a job creator.

Unfortunately the Romneyites went rabid about Santorum “screwing the rich” with a 12% cut in capital gains taxes rather than 14%. I personally found it odd that they couldn’t figure out that a factory is part of the corporation and the corporation was getting big cuts, just not all in the same place.
