1) "across the board cuts" that the guy who is in charge of rolling out the tax cuts admitted could not guarantee a middle class tax cut, but will definitely include huge tax cuts for the wealthy.

It's a pretty substantial tax cut for the vast majority of Americans.

We will see what the bill actually is.

It could change before it actually gets put into a bill, but he had a tax plan on his website during his campaign, and from what I'm seeing, the current proposal really isn't different. It eliminates almost all deductions, including state and local tax deductions, but keeping the mortgage interest deduction. It raises the standard deduction to double what it currently is, to a little less than $25k for a married couple with no kids, and it moves the tax rates to just 3 tiers. Corporate taxes get cut roughly in half.

The tiers are already too spread out, we need like twice as many, not half as many

[Rage Against the McKee]

Yeah, I don't get the people who think the tiers are too complicated. Doubling the standard deduction makes it a huge cut, though. The median household income in the US is about $52,000. Half of that being untaxed is a huge break for a lot of families, and even more would be tax-free with more dependents.

Trump voters are concerned with "complicated" tax tiers that they'll never be in, very LOL

I guess. Seemed pretty vague to be like...Hell yes I'm voting for this guy.

Don't you feel this way on just about any agenda you don't know about that pertains to Trump?

You really are a insufferable son of a bitch, aren't you?

It is not about specifics or what DJT says or purports to believe... They just like his attitude and masochismo. They believe he is going to get us back to "winning" and will make things great like they used to be (even if it is only in their own minds). And for a lot of people, like wacky, they have such poor self-esteem about their own views and place in the world that they latched on to the conservative white male that made them feel better about themselves and validated their feelings. A guy who doesn't apologize and who has mastered the art of branding and public relations... Not one of those coastal liberal elites with their science, legitimate degrees, and facts, who tries to come in and tell you how to live your life or why you are wrong.

IMHO... Taxes, anti-federal government, anti-intellectualism, abortion, and above all his attitude are what seals the deal for most of his voters/supporters.

Quite a broad rough ridin' net there to cast, huh, fuckwad?

[420seriouscat69]

I'd bet anything that cam and abe's parents paid for their school.

[Rage Against the McKee]

Donald's tax plan is really just exactly the same plan Jeb Bush put together, only with slightly lower rates, iirc.

Sorry, I'm not sorry.

I am very lucky and had the help of my parents... but by no means did they flip the whole bill. Regardless, I believe we shouldn't be putting that burden on young adults (or their families). It should just be available to any citizens of this country... A right, if you will. Similar to health care... Using the analogy, a rising tide lifts all boats, i.e. when we all are better educated and healthier we all benefit and share in the prosperity.

I don't vote for anybody based on one thing in a campaign...Especially something complex like a tax plan boiled down to a campaign website blurb.

What specifically did you like about the plan? Cutting tax rate for corps? Cutting top tax rate? Eliminating the college loan interest deduction?

Your need to make fun of ppl that "pull up their bootstraps" said it all really. Just a self entitled ass hat that doesn't know what it's really like to start from nothing and work your way to a certain goal, only to be strapped because of bills like education that hold hard working folks back. Sorry if I have respect for those folks and you like to lol at them from your throne.

Phil, nobody votes for anybody based off of one thing, JFC. However, out of all the campaigns to do so in thee entire history of the world, this would have been the one to focus on a few key areas. Both shitty candidates by the end of the day.

[Rage Against the McKee]

This is the plan Donald campaigned with.

It will be interesting to see if the IRS actually sends out the "I win" forms to all of the poor people who pay no tax.

If you are going to be a single issue voter, your tax rate is the most logical issue to pick.

[420seriouscat69]

Agreed

[Tobias]

federal land, tho

[star seed 7]

I'm starting to suspect that some people can't handle this thread

[Phil Titola]

Agreed

Problem is a tax plan has a lot more facets than a tax rate and income level chart. For example you won't be able to deduct education interest.

There is a lot of anger today from Cam and WC

[SdK]

"Come on, Wacky. Just because you disagree with their opinion, so they call you rough ridin' idiot, ignorant, etc. just sit there and take it. Don't banter back"- SDK

Nope. I'm sure you're fully aware of how little of your check goes to social welfare. I also know you are a good person.

So I was disappointed at your seeming delight for sticking it those less fortunate than you.

Dude... You just don't get it. What you are fighting against would have actually improved your lot in life. Free public higher education and the relief of having a basic level of medical health care no matter what would transform the lives of most americans, including you and I alike.

One day, when you are looking to expand your horizons, read the book "What's The Matter With Kansas". Break through the programming that you are so strongly grasping to, it's all just a facade.

Poor wacky can only handle so much from uppity liberals before he has a meltdown.
