“1. Tax relief for middle class Americans”
not possible at present spending levels
[The middle class shouldn’t be promised tax cuts - sorry, but the welfare state needs to be paid for (or reduced)]
[The lazy are eating, watching TV, surfing the net, sleeping, chatting away, etc. at your expense.]
2.Simplify the tax code
[about the only practical one of the four.]
3.Grow the American economy
[only modest growth is possible, unless we invite 300 million more people in - do you want that? and small apartments for your grandchildren?]
growth can mainly come from:
a. putting disabled people in jobs
b., increasing the PPACA 30-hour cap to say 35 hours
c. getting people in areas of high unemployment into factory jobs [financed by requiring public employee unions to manage their own pension funds/funding - their best investments would be in the burgs that pay them since local investments would pay both profits and additional tax revenue]
d. opening up the medical trades (such as dentistry - I could use a few affordable implants myself)
Remember, if you are already busting your posterior, your output isn’t going to grow by much. Most Americans who work, work hard.
“4.Doesn’t add to our debt and deficit, which are already too large.”
If the middle class are to pay significantly less, the high income crowd (and poor folks [really?]) need to pay more.
Historically lowering marginal tax rates have dramatically increases government revenues.
“increased” not increases
