That’s because the American people said they didn’t want it. They voted out republicans in the house. That’s where a tax cut needs to originate. They need to make that point perfectly clear. Parents can thank their stupid college student offspring. Perhaps they can adjust the kids allowances to make up the difference.

"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States."—Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”... the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Federal Constitution, is in the States, and not in the Federal Government [emphases added].” —Rep. John Bingham, Congressional Globe, 1866. (See about middle of 3rd column.)

"Federal career lawmakers probably laugh all the way to the bank to deposit bribes for putting loopholes for the rich and corporations in tax appropriations laws, Congress actually not having the express constitutional authority to make most appropriations laws where domestic policy is concerned. Such laws are based on stolen state powers and uniquely associated stolen state revenues." —me
Patriots desperately need to support Pres. Trump in working with the states to repeal the 16th and ill-conceived 17th Amendments, 17 the “broomstick of the wicked witch (Soros).”
