Cotton Ball, you say we fail to see the “big picture” and lament that we object to our wallets being raided. Look, we could both discuss how God made women beautiful and sexy, and agree on that wholeheartedly. But if I then claim that I think it would be nice to enjoy sex with your wife, I would think you might find that objectionable.
See to me “Big Picture” sounds a bit like socialism.
Call me crazy.
Do people really pay thousands more? I figure it won’t be more than a few percent of what they already pay. I’m all for making the tax code easier. And getting rid of deductions and lowering the tax brackets would do that.
You know that if Trump just says these cuts will be paid for by increased revenues, he would be attacked. Reagan got rid of most deductions. I’m sure there were a lot of people that complained back then about that as well.
Our founding fathers risked everything they had. Every penny they had and their very lives. Those selfless attitudes are definitely gone. I would happily pay a little more in taxes by having less deductions actions, and have the economy booming so my investments are doing better. And better yet, this country and my son would have a future.
