President Trump campaigned on helping the little guy. His latest tax proposal, he says, is about helping the middle guy.
Its a middle-class bill, Trump promised an audience of truckers last week.
Other administration officials and House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) have also claimed that their primary objective in reconfiguring the tax code is to help the middle class, not the wealthy.

BTW - What tax bracket will you be in under the new proposal?
Oh, that’s right. You don’t know because it hasn’t been determined. But you know you are going to get screwed, all so evil businesses can grow!
What is conservative about hating business and free enterprise? How have you been on FR so long and still want to punish job creators?
Hear hear!
All conservatives should embrace two very important and powerful truths:
1. Wealth is not evil.
2. The most powerful of corporations can't arrest you and throw you in prison, or a mental institution. Government can.
This pervasive idea of the "eeeeevil corporation" in our society is a Leftist fiction and should find no place in conservative dialog.
Speculation.
Will be good to see the schedules etc.

Before or after he had sex with Amanda Carpenter?
No, it isn't speculation. The tax amendment to stop the GOP from taxing the rest of us was defeated last week. Look it up.
And 5.56 mm has nothing to contribute to the argument. You would be advised to remove it from your posts.
being taxed twice on the same money doesnt seem fair.....In PA You get taxed at least THREE times on some purchases. For instance, a bottle of wine or liquor is taxed for the Johnstown flood rebuilding in the 1800’s 0r early 1900’s. That is added to the price of the original purchase so you pay 6% state tax on the liquor PLUS the JT tax.
I don’t want to pay to subsidize Ivanka’s Women Who Work initiatives.
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.
"State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added]." Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"The smart crooks long ago figured out that getting themselves elected to federal office to make unconstitutional tax laws to fill their pockets is a much easier way to make a living than robbing banks." me
"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 laws where domestic policy is concerned. Such laws are based on stolen state powers and uniquely associated stolen state revenues." me
Patriots need to make sure that there are plenty of Trump-supporting, state sovereignty-respecting patriot candidates on the primary ballots and pink-slip career lawmakers by sending patriot candidate lawmakers to DC on election day 2018.
The media is out to get Trump. They don’t seem to care how this “tax cut” proposal is not a tax cut.
Only 30% of tax payers itemized deductions. So 70% are taxes twice on the same money. Only the wealthier citizens who live in high tax states benefit from this deduction in the first place.
Oh, and tax preparation businesses.
They benefit as well.
Until you eliminate the deductions they take away. Higher math is difficult, but it must be used.
“Before or after he had sex with Amanda Carpenter?”
Don’t know that he did, but you seem to be someone consumed with envy. Envy of any successful person. Envy of businesses. Envy of Ted Cruz’s sex life (YGBSM!) And envy of people who live in freer states. And, I suspect, gross envy on Donald Trump.
Grow up, boy! Stop wallowing in your pity party, and take charge of your life. Find work with a private business, maybe. Who knows, you might even be able to find a pretty woman who will have you!
But stop shoving the commie lie that business is bad, and wealth evil. Let go of your inner Marx. Find some Reagan inside of you! Come on, try!
Methinks we are wound too tight.

The media is very comfortable with reporting their views of something that doesn’t exist.
And idiots are comfortable with accepting what they’re told by the media.
When there’s real information to make conclusions upon I’ll be interested in how any changes affect people.
I am all for business to grow. I am against screwing 44 million middle class Americans to pay for their tax relief as it destroys others.
Is that so hard to understand?
No wonder many PA people travel to DE to make their purchases!
It is what it is.
Is that so hard to understand?
You're just spouting the Socialist Left's propaganda for them. That's what's hard to understand.
Tax cuts for one group do NOT "screw" another group. Look back to the 80's for some tax cut history under Reagan. Tax cuts help EVERYONE. Every. Single. Time.
It’s all speculation.
Like this.
>>A real middle-class tax plan would likely include a large expansion of the earned income tax credit.
For decades the EITC has supplemented lower-income peoples pay through a tax refund. Its pro-work, because it increases the payoff from holding down a job. <<
The EITC is an illegal direct transfer of funds from the productive to the pockets of the unproductive. It rewards sloth (that is “just making it and if I advance I lose money”).
ANY tax break is going to — hang on to your hats, folks! — help PEOPLE WHO PAY TAXES!!
From http://econostats.org/who-funds-the-federal-government-2/:

Overall, for 1979, including Social Security payments, for every $1.00 earned:
