If you have a better tax plan that will pass I am all ears. You think we’ll get a better deal from President Biden? Because that is where we are headed if the Party of No (as the Dems call the GOP) gets there way.
--------------------------------------------------
With all due respect, I asked 3 simple questions...You did not answer any of them. Answering a question with a question is either a diversion, or you don't know Ron Johnson, don't know why he does not like the tax plan, and won't say whether or not YOU support the plan...
I will be more direct and respond to your post...
1. Why would I have a tax plan? Frankly, it is not my job to write a tax plan and message and lobby effectively to get it passed. I did not run for office on a promised tax plan, and I am not not paid to be a legislator--that is what I as a citizen am paying these swampcreatures to do. That is why I voted for President Trump.
That said, I don't like the swampcreatures premises--as with their tweak of obamacare, they seem far more concerned with everyone except those who are paying the bulk of the taxes...In their mindset, they cannot reduce taxes unless they find out ways to pay for it...aka penalizing various classes of citizens. What happened to those proposed across-the-board government spending cuts?
2. President Biden? We are headed to losses in 2018 if the GOP does not produce what President Trump ran on...and this plan is not what he ran on. If you don't want a President Biden, then the GOP had better pass a decent plan...and Trump needs to get out and lead on this issue.
3. No, I don't want what a president Pedo would offer. and, no, I don't have an official plan; however I have some ideas:
1. How about real reform of the tax code instead of tweaking brackets? How about EVERYONE PAY SOMETHING. There are far too many living in this country getting money from the government with no skin in the game. What is an "earned income credit" for? Why are we giving people welfare in the name of a tax credit? Loopholes like claiming deductions for dependents living in other countries needs to be eliminated as there is rampant fraud. Tax advantages for hiring H-1B Visa holders need to be eliminated.
I really would love a FAIR Tax plan or a FLAT Tax plan...what happened to that postcard idea? I think small businesses here in US should get same or better tax breaks than big corporations that have gone abroad. They are the innovators and crony capitalism has devastated many because they cannot compete.
2. I think congress should be working on the tax plan Trump ran on and for which he should be leading--Why would anyone trust Ryan and McConnell to do a tax plan...Think about it, we have record deficits and yet the government is collecting record taxes every month...If I recall correctly, in addition to record tax collections in 2017, we had a bigger yearly deficit in 2017 than in the past decade or longer...Hmmm sad since we have Republican House, Senate and white house in control...They need to stop the spending! W
In my opinion, the President needs to call the entire republican side of the aisle in to watch a video presentation of what he said he platform would be and get the GOP on board. There are many things being proposed that were not part of the campaign platform. Then he needs to pitch the plan from the bully pulpet. If it does not pass, then he goes to the American people and says we need to primary out and vote out those who did not vote for it...instead of signing a mediocre bill that will not be well thought of during elections in 2018.
Your original post:
Yep. Johnson was just reelected and isn’t up for SIX YEARS. No reason for him to do this other than stick it to POTUS.
You stated it as fact--as if you knew this was the case--that there was no reason for Johnson to not support the bill ...So I wanted to know why as well as what you like about it. I am trying to learn.
President Biden? We are headed to losses in 2018 if the GOP does not produce what President Trump ran on...and this plan is not what he ran on. If you don't want a President Biden, then the GOP had better pass a decent plan...and Trump needs to get out and lead on this issue.
Exactly Freedom. That's the money quote right there.
Trump never, ever said he was going to sign a bill that raised the taxes on millions of middle class Americans.
In fact, he said that the middle class (in addition to businesses) needed a tax cut, which is not what these bill accomplish.
Ryan and McConnell gave us these crummy bills. They have had years to work on them, and now they are trying to ram them through because "we are running out of time."
The truth is, they want to jam them up the orifices of the citizens before they can really contemplate how bad they are.
