Sure it's possible to create a better plan, but what can pass in congress is important too. We could abolish the IRS if congress would do the right thing. And as for the deficit, I believe Trump would actually cut government programs. Having a double standard deduction is going to sound good to a lot of middle class voters.
“Having a double standard deduction is going to sound good to a lot of middle class voters. “
Not to a lot of homeowners like me that presently itemize.
I’m not in favor of any group being taxed more.
The goal is to free up money to be invested in, and spur the economy.
The idea is to broaden the tax base and massively increase the federal tax receipts.
We are $20 trillion in debt. This means we are still going to have to facilitate the movement of cash from private entities to the federal government.
I think there are better ways out there to facilitate this, than using the IRS. The IRS is corrupt. It does need to go.
I am hoping to revisit these things when we have a more Conservative leadership in Congress. If we don’t get one, no president will be able to achieve what we want.
For now I think we’re in a position of having to take what we can get.
We are either going to have to back whatever we can get, or we will accomplish absolutely nothing under Trump.
I want the goals 100% attained too.
I still see 20% attainment to be moving toward that 100%.
If we reject this 20% improvement (or whatever the actual figure might turn out to be), then we remain at 0% of attaining our goal.
