Once again, as with ObamaCare repeal, despite having 8 years the GOPers in the Congress did not have something ready to go on day 1.

You really think they didn’t have something ready. They just don’t want that uppity outsider Trump having a victory. I sense that the GOPe would rather let the party burn than have Trump in charge.

“comprehensive” is an indicator that they’re not serious.

If corporate taxes are eased first, the disgusting bought-and-paid-for HOR Republicans will never get to reforming the tax code for the little guy.

Here’s what I think is happening.

After Trump won the election, certain key establishment leaders decided to make sure his agenda doesn’t happen.

This means legislatively.

And there are likely several republicans participating who claim to be “conservative” or “freedom caucus” or whatever.

DOes anyone here actually believe that the ruling class will allow any legislation that would give the Subjects some of their hard earned money back, leading to their desire to have even more Freedom???

I have a real nice Bridge down here in Long Beach for sale.

...so all of this is President Trump's fault...that the healthcare bill didn't pass, that the tax bill isn't ready to go...

There are some 10 positions yet to be filled in the Trump Cabinet, but Congress is only working 8 days this month...

There are 2 positions waiting for Congress for A.G. Sessions to fill, but Congress is only working 8 days this month...

Yes President Trump pulled the healthcare bill, he gave the rope to Paul Ryan and Ryan hung himself...President Trump was in Wisconsin the other day, where was Ryan, oh off to the ‘elite’ people in Europe...

Where has President Trump been since Congress has been ‘out’...in the White House working, in Florida working, hosting people from Foreign Countries...

Where is V.P. Pence, on a fact finding tour of the Asian countries, talking to our Foreign Allies...

Now what was that again you were saying about how come the ‘tax plan’ isn't getting anywhere??? Where is Congress in April...oh yeah I forgot they are only working 8 DAYS this month...

GO.PRESIDENT TRUMP. GO!!! MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!

“GOP, Republican” are obsolete political terms imo, nothing more than different names for the conservative front end of the corrupt Washington cartel.

Drain the swamp! Drain the swamp!

Remember in November ’18.

One piece of getting some sort of immediate "tax reform" done is reducing corporate taxes to 15%. The lost revenue opportunity would be offset by companies coming back to the US and paying US taxes (at 15%).

This will show a sign of good faith and progress, and maybe cool down the media somewhat.

The more complex pieces would be resolved after the Obamacare repeal as Trump has been suggesting.

Whatever tax reform is passed, it MUST NOT INCLUDE exempting a larger percentage of the population from paying ANY income tax. Long ago, when I first staring working after school, I didn’t earn a ton of money but did pay income taxes. It wasn’t much tax (maybe 2% of income) but I was a taxpayer. That was before the process of gradual changes that resulted in more and more people paying ZERO taxes. People who cover ZERO costs of government have no problem voting for candidates who promise to have government increase “free” give aways for them.

Nobody would know what to do with utter freedom I fear. This isn’t just a bunch of freepers living off of shot rabbits, and nobody else. A kind of convalescence is needed.
