The White House eyes another tax cut

Getting tired of the impeachment saga, so let's talk about taxes. Apparently, Trump wants to run on another tax cut. The initial proposal is 15% for the upper middle class, my guess is replacing the current 22% rate.

Now, Trump fans like to trash Dem proposals with the question "where will the money come from?". The same question should be asked here.

My guess what the answer is: Tax cuts will pay for themselves through increased economic growth.

Question: How often can the same silly policy be repeated expecting different results, before voters learn? Probably indefinitely, because buying votes through tax cuts, which have to be paid back by future generations, always seems to work.

 

Funny, from the party of MMT

 

We are not discussing whether the Dems advocate for MMT (most probably never heard of it), or not, but how you answer the question of how Trump will pay for the next round of tax cuts.

 

Trickle down means NATIONAL DEBT UP!!!!!

 

He's going to do his best to avoid answering your question. It's what he does.

 

Yeah, but at the same time he'll attack Warren for not saying how she'll pay for her plans.

 

Funny

 

Why do you want to see different results? Tax cut always mean I pay less. I don't care if the government end up getting more.

 

I would love another tax cut. Leave more of my hard earned money for me. Cut down on government spending.

 

Except, the "cut spending" part never happens. Thus, you get your tax cut, leaving your children to pay for it. That's being selfish, not prudent.

 

You do know the IRS takes donations right?

 

Pay for what, $150,000 dollar a year dog catchers ? The soundest state's fiscally are redstates, the worst ones are blue

 

Except our govt doesn't actually cut down on spending.

 

Would be nice if they could focus a tax cut on those who make a million or less, while adding a wealth tax like Warren or Sanders’ proposals. Or at least make that 22% with no loopholes.

 

Sounds like you're blaming me?

Why do you want to tax/penalize achievers?

 

Should we not tax “achievers”?

 

Yes, I blame you for voting for the unpaid-for tax cut sham that the GOP pulls over and over and over again, leading to exploding deficits that your (and my) children will have to pay for in one way or another, either through tax increases or benefit cuts.

Same as you would blame me if I voted for Warren's Medicare for all.

 

I'm against more Cuts. I didn't ask for the last one although I appreciate it very much

if anything I would like to see a capital gains increase over x million and a payroll tax increase for FICA.

<ducks for cover!

 

Tax revenues are up with the last tax cuts and economic growth of the Trump economy.

I'd support another tax cut, certainly.

 

You have got to be kidding. I work my butt off and make it big so I can give the government more money? Get real and try to become an achiever and then get back to me. I guess you are for taxing achievers and giving more rent subsidies and food stamps to the lazy and the illegal aliens. That's a great recipe to make a country great.

 

The only chance we have is a 52 trillion medicare for all and a 92 trillion green new deal to tax our way to prosperity.

 

Take a breath and try reading what I actually posted rather than what you think I posted because your tangent is about a position I don’t hold.

 

Perhaps you are unaware that we are running a trillion dollar deficit this year. That's Trillion, with a "T."

 

great!!! cut as many taxes as you can!!!!!

more importantly though cut spending... by a lot!

 

Except govt doesn’t actually ever cut spending...at least not in any impactful way.
