“... Anyway, time to move on to the next issue. The tax bill debate is pretty much over.”

You mean “time to move on to the next issue” - that you’ll manipulate so to find fault with Trump ...

Maybe it’s time for you to just “move on” somewhere else.

Oh really?

I have stated over and over here again that I love Trump. You have treated me, and others, like we are members of Antifa for not wanting our taxes jacked up by the Feds.

And yes - I was (and am) ticked about that violating his MAGA promises on the campaign trail.

But here is a little tidbit for you that perhaps you missed in yesterday's news:

Hours after Senate GOP passes tax bill, Trump says he’ll consider raising corporate rate

Well, well.

Hours after the pre-dawn passage of a $1.5 trillion tax cut, President Trump suggested for the first time Saturday that he would consider a higher corporate rate than the one Senate Republicans had just endorsed, in remarks that could complicate sensitive negotiations to pass a final bill. On his way to New York for three fundraisers, Trump told reporters that the corporate tax rate in the GOP plan might end up rising to 22 percent from 20 percent. Lawmakers in both the House and Senate had fought hard to keep the corporate rate low, with the Senate late Friday rejecting a Republican-backed proposal to push it up to 21 percent in exchange for more working-family tax breaks.....The House and Senate intend to take steps as soon as Monday to set up a conference committee to negotiate the significant differences between the Senate plan and the version passed by the House last month. But Trump’s statement Saturday threatened to introduce a complication....

“Business tax all the way down from 35 to 20,” Trump told reporters, remarking on a core provision of the Senate bill. “It could be 22 when it all comes out, but it could also be 20. We’ll see what ultimately comes out.”....Moving the corporate tax rate up by 2 percentage points could raise $200 billion, money Trump might need to try to satisfy the concerns of Republicans frustrated that the plan does not reduce top individuals’ tax rates enough or of others such as Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.), who argued that the bill should do more for low-income families.

Rubio complained Friday that colleagues would not even allow him to move the corporate rate to 20.94 percent, saying they acted as if this would be a “catastrophe.”....

Lowering the corporate tax rate was a centerpiece of the plan, and Republicans have said that it will help businesses free up money to invest, grow and raise wages. They continually reshaped the tax-cut bills in the House and Senate to help businesses, even if it meant cutting back on tax benefits for individuals and families.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) dismissed suggestions that the corporate rate could rise to 22 percent, pointing to votes in both the House and Senate that would set it at 20 percent. “That would be a major change,” McConnell said in a telephone interview, adding that the vote showed he does not “have much of a margin.”

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Trump is more on my side here than you! He knows both the House and Senate bills are screwing individuals too much, and wants the corporates to live with just a slightly smaller tax cut. And the swamp is aghast.

This article restores my faith that Trump is fighting for me. You are the one who is siding more that Mitchy McConnell and Paul "I Cut The Pensions of Disabled Veterans" Ryan. And before you give me any this "liberal media" garbage - the Post is quoting Trump from yesterday.

I hope you are not going to commit heresy and disagree with Trump that the current bills give away too much to the corporate side at the expense of individuals. I may have to suggest you are a DU plant, tell you to leave FR, or suggest you should be banned.

Enjoy!
