Majority say Trump tax plan should be made permanent or left alone

A majority of Americans want President Trump's tax plan to be made permanent or left alone and allowed to expire, according to a new American Barometer survey.

The poll, a joint project of Hill.TV and the HarrisX polling company found that 27 percent of respondents wanted the plan to remain permanent, while 29 percent said it should be left alone and allowed to expire.

The poll comes one day after Trump said on Monday that he will push for a second round of tax cuts during Congress' lame duck session after the midterms.

The president has touted his first round of tax cuts, passed last year, as one of his administration's major legislative accomplishments.

However, Republicans have largely stayed away from talking about the Trump tax plan on the campaign trail.

"You don't need a poll to show evidence that the tax plan is unpopular because Republicans are not talking about it," campaign reporter for The Hill Reid Wilson told Hill.TV's Joe Concha on "What America's Thinking."

"It doesn't show up in campaign advertisements, it doesn't show up in their stump speeches," he continued. "It's just not a part of the political conversation, and that tells me that Republicans botched the rollout."

Internal polling commissioned by the Republican National Committee (RNC) found last month that 60 percent of respondents said the tax plan helps corporations and the wealthy, while 30 percent said the opposite.

The American Barometer was conducted on October 19-20 among 1,000 registered voters. The margin of error is plus or minus 3.1 percent.

“.....need a poll to show evidence that the tax plan is unpopular because Republicans are not talking about it,” campaign reporter for The Hill Reid Wilson told Hill.TV’s Joe Concha on “What America’s Thinking. It doesn’t show up in campaign advertisements, it doesn’t show up in their stump speeches,” he continued. “It’s just not a part of the political conversation, and that tells me that Republicans botched the rollout.”

Unemployment down to a 49 year low in Septamber.

The real gross domestic product growth for the second quarter was just revised up to 4.2 percent.

Home Ownership Rate in the United States increased to 64.30 percent in the second quarter of 2018 up from 62.9% in mid 2016.

New business starts are up 400+% over 2016.

So, more people are working, more are starting their own businesses, more people own homes, the economy keep getting better due to there being more money available to the public that let’s them grow while more is going into the federal tax coffer. But the public has more in their possession and therefore doesn’t give a greater percentage. Actions speak louder than words you idiot. But since you think it is so important that the public hears about it, why don’t you volunteer the information since the POTUS doesn’t like to brag?

And here’s one the libs do not want to go public:

Business Wire, a Berkshire Hathaway Company, has released its 2018 Retention Report, the only known one of its kind, marking its second study of national workplace turnover and retention. Using a scientifically valid methodology and data from over 234,000 exit interviews, this report uncovers the root causes of turnover to reveal the real reasons employees leave their jobs for better opportunities.

This report from Business Wire states that the successful economy and growing job marketplace allow a large percentage of employees to make career moves when current employers are not meeting their expectations and needs. “Employees have career options, and our study shows they are not hesitant to leave their current positions for jobs that better fit their preferences and expectations,” said Danny Nelms, president of Work Institute.

So it’s obvious for all of us they are not only getting jobs, but improving their employment situation based upon opportunities that were not there before Trump’s tax plan.

Mr. Wilson, please tell the public that for me would you. Then justify why no one is talking about it since the media is silent. And maybe if you open your mouth a little wider, you might get both feet in there.
