“Trump told reporters, remarking on a core provision of the Senate bill. “It could be 22 when it all comes out, but it could also be 20. We’ll see what ultimately comes out.””

That doesn’t say Trump might go to 22%.

"It could be 22 when it all comes out" - Donald Trump.

Welcome to the Twighlight Zone.

The president doesn’t get to raise the rate. This is written with that deliberately false assumption.

Congress proposes and passes bills. The pres sign or rejects them.
He didn’t endorse a higher rate. His words were: “It could be 22 when it all comes out, but it could also be 20. We’ll see what ultimately comes out.”

That is not “considering.”

Yeah, I will be paying higher taxes. So will millions of us. I don't think I made that a secret. But you make it out to be like you found my underwear in your closet.

Sheesh.

Are you well?

I hear you. Yes, it is not pleasant to be paying more, and then to be told I am being "subsidized" by others.

I will acknowledge this: Trump may not want to give more breaks to individuals, but put the money towards the top rate payers (or even to the deficit). I also don't know if Congress will change the 20% rate in conference.

In any case - I want us all to be friends here. There has been too much animosity posted in the last few days. If I contributed to that in any way, I apologize.

Sky Pilot, Doodle Dog, momincombatboots, humblegunner and Brian Ross. Are they ever seen together at the same time?

They all share the same characteristics...a nearly livid hatred of Donal Trump and a desire to announce what they wish was true.

I’m hopeful that you can restructure to minimize the loss, or perhaps make some gains, after the final tax bill becomes law.

If the people overall pay less to government, they will have more ways to help their fellow man.

You can’t read, but do a great job of seeing what you want lol.

“It could be 22 when it all comes out, but it could also be 20. We’ll see what ultimately comes out.”

Try again.

There is no advocacy of increasing the corporate tax here. He is simply stating the reality that the Bill goes to conference now and it could be used as a negotiating tool.

On a static basis, the plan would lead to 1.2 percent higher after-tax income on average for all taxpayers and 4.5 percent higher after-tax income on average for the top 1 percent in 2027. When accounting for the increased GDP, after-tax incomes of all taxpayers would increase by 4.4 percent in the long run.

According to the Tax Foundation’s Taxes and Growth Model, the plan would significantly lower marginal tax rates and the cost of capital, which would lead to a 3.7 percent increase in GDP over the long term, 2.9 percent higher wages, and an additional 925,000 full-time equivalent jobs.
