Trump says 'major tax cut for middle-income people' coming in 10 days

"rolling out" is a perfect description of getting hit by a steam roller.... I do give him credit for at least telling people he is going to splatter them and this country all over the road...

At this point, he'd offer the country more lebensraum to get elected...

I prefer the term Trumpublicans.... Trumplicans doesn't sound right...

 

Too bad America hasn't had one in a couple of years.

 

Maybe I wasn't.

Maybe I misunderstood what middle class tax cut means.

 

Obama and hillary cared to the extent that they wanted government to give away free stuff to beggars

Trump wants them to have jobs and dignity

 

Sure there is. Cut taxes for all bands up to an income of $(choose your limit). $50k? $75k? $100k?

I still think this is a total con by President Small Hands.

 

. Hahha good play...we have had one for a couple years, arguably the first since the 80s

 

Dirty Donny wants to fill his own pockets. If he thinks that the most efficient way to do that is to give tax cuts to someone, he will be in favor of that.

 

You made my point for me. It was never touted as a tax cut for the middle class, it was touted as a tax cut that would benefit the middle class with more jobs and higher wages. It has done both

 

Better yet impose the same federal tax on the poor that you have for the rich

Every adult should help support the government

 

. So? He wants earn money and wants me to as well...sounds like a winning partnership

 

here i agree with you, salaries need to increase, not lowering of taxes.

 

why not both!?

 

manudactoring jobs, like the extensive mass assembly lines are long gone replaced by automation, they are not coming back.

 

So you disagree with Dirty Donny's proposal to cut taxes for the middle class?

And, BTW your idea is very mean spirited. Hurt those who can least afford it.

 

we are running into record deficits, reducing revenue is not going to help in the run.

 

Before you get all happy about your "partnership" with Donald J Trump (and you'd have to be clinically insane to consider that prospect), take note of how much YOU'D get and how much HE'D get in your scenario....

 

Thats a fair question

If liberals were willing to adopt a flat tax on everyone then taxes on the middle class would not change very much

And I would support that

 

Raising taxes will not end the deficit either

 

. Revenue is up, has gone up after every major tax cut. Deficits are lower then they were the first 4 years of the obama admin, so not sure how there a record. While they are high, we need to cut spending and reform entitlement t programs

 

. He pays more taxes obviously he is gonna benefit more from tax cuts. The “partnership” isn’t with trump personally, it’s with the federal govt

 

raising taxes alone, yes it wont. it will require raising taxes in some areas as well as spending cuts. in additional, a robust economy is necessary too, but that cant always be. if we do reduce and raise, it must be gradual, large increases or reductions in said areas creates too much volatility and that wont be helpful. that said, taxes and spending amounts need to be fluid to match how robust the economy is in order to maintain stability.

 

All liberals want to do is raise taxes but never cut government spending except for national defense

 

you are misinformed, deficits are up.

no that is your projection and detrimental to the solution.

 

If the first round of tax cuts was not enough to help, then more tax cuts can only be better.

The very worst thing that could happen would be a tax increase.
