Drop the individual rates by 5 points. Drop corporate rates to 20%. Reduce all current writes offs by 10% only. ( if you deducted 10k, you can now only deduct 9k). It’s a compromise for blue state republicans. Repatriation of off shore money with no penalty. Leave everything else in place.
Over the next 3 years tweak it as needed.
We should be good to go.
Even if you drop the rates but eliminate exemptions you aren’t decreasing the tax burden whatsoever. As a matter of fact I would say I will be dangerously close to the 12%/25% border which would be a NASTY increase. Screw this bill to high heaven.
It can’t pass by reconciliation if you do that.
No one understands that they have to “pay” for this in order to pass with 50+Pence in the Senate.
