For the ultra rich, like Trump, and corporations, as most of the tax cuts will go to them. This is hardly going to be a "middle-class" tax cut, as it will only get a sliver of what members of the lucky-sperm club like Trump and the Walton family will get.




Don't think this is going to help the $20 trillion dollar debt that Republicans rarely talk about anymore either.

Rinos know they are going to face the music next year. Watch for them to try to fake us into thinking they are real conservatives. Don't fall for it

Let's cut the entire budget by 2 percent per year for 8 years.

Deal?

Like I said earlier today, pull left with Obamacare and then pull right with a tax plan without a single "yea" vote coming from the losing side. We're doomed politically at this pace.

I just think at least one of Murkowski, mccain, or collins will vote for some form of tax reform.


I think that this is the reason that Steve Bannon is publicly talking about primary challenges to Rinos who don't support the President's agenda. Shot across the bow! Get on board or face a stiff challenge to reelection.

Well if you believe the idiocy of static scoring you might believe that.

And to the other idiot the "rich" pay most of the taxes, corporations are mere pass through and how the frick does the half that pays zero already get a benefit besides more welfare in the form of a "tax" credit for nothing?

All objective analysis of the Trump/Republican tax plan say it will add at least $1.5 trillion to the national debt over ten years


If you assume ZERO growth.

And, considering Obama added $10 trillion to the debt in 8 years, I don't have a problem with this even if true (which it is not)
