I would far rather see the personal income tax zeroed, partially replaced by tariffs, with corporate income tax reduced to be sufficient to pay for the military budget.

Maybe a special levy to pay for the border wall, and military deployment to the border.

Reasonable. But the current plan very clearly stakes out "winners" and "losers." It stinks of Paul Ryan. The language even sounds like his 2013 Budget Agreement with Sen Murray (D-WA). Even the "over ten years" garbage is Ryan's writing. In that agreement, he screwed over military veterans by slashing pensions - even for 100% disabled veterans due to their combat injuries.

Ryan has a history of reckless actions that lead to political suicide.

This tax bill is one of them.
