Trump: 'Phenomenal' Tax Cut Package Coming in 2-3 Weeks
grabien.com ^ | Feb 9, 2017

President Trump to his conservative critics: I read you loud and clear! 

After coming under criticism from many on the right — most prominently, the Drudge Report — for seeming to move popular campaign promises like repealing ObamaCare and reining in the tax code to the back burner, this morning Trump promised a “phenomenal” tax reform package will be presented in the next two to three weeks.  Speaking to airline executives at the White House, Trump empathized with the burdensome regulatory climate the industry is operating under, and promised to begin making reforms.

"We want to help you realize these goals by rolling back burdensome regulations, and you people are regulated probably as much as almost anybody," Trump said. "We have a regulatory morass that's a disaster." He also promised a round of tax cuts. 

"Lowering the overall tax burden on American business is big league, that’s coming along very well," Trump said. "We’re way ahead of schedule, I believe. And we’re going to be announcing something -- I would say over the next two or three weeks -- that will be phenomenal."

Excellent idea.

Bubba jeff did some retroactive tax increases. Another reason he can rot in hell on top of a very long list of reasons.

I have to remind myself frequently. Trump Won. The nasty evil bitch at my office that was making everybody miserable was FIRED (literally, true story). I have plenty of money and work and friends that I love. Yep, that’s the feelz of #winning.

It’s hard to get used to. We aren’t going to get over the trauma of getting beat down for so long it looks like up to us overnight.

Imagine what Trump proposes is almost identical to the no-loophole flat-rate income tax Steve Forbes proposed 21 years ago. Just that change would hypercharge the US economy because people can now put money into banks and equity investments essentially tax free. So much money would suddenly flow into the USA we'll be literally swimming in liquid assets.

It has been a long haul. There’s no denying it.

I’ve been cringing since January 20th, 1989.

The long drought is over.

You know, our future will not be without major challenges.

What we do know for sure, is that we have a man on our side, and that loyalist Americans will pull together under him to weather any storm.

I am encouraged daily to see folks like you who get this, pulling together with most folks here for America’s future and the camaraderie that will see us through whatever comes.

In 20 days, he has just 1/3rd of his department nominees approved. At this rate his last nominee will be approved on March 31st.

This does tend to slow a guy down.

He has been president for 20 days, and it’s already a new world.

Folks just don’t get it. Let them be miserable. I’m as happy as can be.

It’s morning in America again!

Trump should just tell them he’s cutting taxes for those you don’t pay them by 1000%. That will shut them up. It’s their problem if they don’t understand math. Should have paid attention more in school.

Well, it’s not over, it’s never over, we have to build the movement to run these people out of their sinecures and, by the way, shut their lying mouths because this is ridiculous. Nobody has the right to say the nasty hateful seditious things they say.

Sure, there is plenty of work ahead.

The thing is, we have the people in place or just about in place to do it.

We are going to see winning like we never knew was truly possible.

Between the cell phone and elec. bills we pay far more in the fees and taxes than the use of the phone/electric. Also, on our water/trash bill, we also have to pay for the jails.

>>How about removing the HUGE taxes and fees I see on my electric bill each month that make up 66% of my monthly bill?<<

Right? Heck, ever look at your cell phone bill...same thing, except it's per line. If you have four lines in the family, you're taxed/fee’d four times.

Crazy man...crazy

Their better be credits and rebates for people that DO NOT PAY TAXES...or there will be anger, rioting...stomping of feet...
For those paying zero taxes there will be a 500 percent tax reduction, retroactive to 1945.
______________________

Here come “tax cuts for the rich”... they need to get in front of that; additionally, in front of the media doing a straight line estimation of the lost revenue as per the amount of the cut. Going from 40% to 20% will INCREASE revenues to the treasury, NOT cut them in half!
