Tiberius Posted December 5, 2017 Author Share Posted December 5, 2017 . Business Insider reports: After the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) in the Senate, Republicans like McConnell are still claiming that the bill is a “revenue neutral tax reform bill.” The problem: No major analysis of the bill agrees with them. McConnell’s comments echoed those from other Republican lawmakers and Trump administration officials. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, for one, has repeatedly claimed that the TCJA would actually decrease the deficit. But not a single major analysis of either the House or Senate TCJA projects that the bill would end up being revenue neutral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the coercive governments that take it from us. The Left won't stop at taxing income, and a VAT won't make income taxes disappear. It'll just be an add-on. They covet personal wealth and that is key to their thinking and emotions. One day they will confiscate your IRAs and 401k, etc. and give you Government Bonds in return. What a country! “The difference between death and taxes is death doesn't get worse every time Congress meets.” Will Rogers Dear God....Federal taxes in this century haven't been lower in 70 years....and that time period has been evenly split between GOP and DEM governance What time period of taxation do you want to go back to?

That's a red herring. First of all, historical tax rate norms have nothing to do with their morality. For the overwhelming majority of human history various forms of slavery and hard castes were the accepted norm. Does that mean we should return to the policy of those time periods? Second, your argument leaves out the effective rates of actual taxes paid during those eras, in which the tax code was very different, allowing for all manner of deductions.

Tiberius Posted December 8, 2017 Author Share Posted December 8, 2017 Why do we need a tax cut again? Remember, this tax cut is being done simply to pay off Republican donors. The best politicians money can buy The Bureau of Labor Standards reports, “The unemployment rate held at 4.1 percent in November, and the number of unemployed persons was essentially unchanged at 6.6 million. Over the year, the unemployment rate and the number of unemployed persons were down by 0.5 percentage point and 799,000, respectively. . . . The number of long-term unemployed (those jobless for 27 weeks or more) was essentially unchanged at 1.6 million in November and accounted for 23.8 percent of the unemployed. Over the year, the number of long-term unemployed was down by 275,000.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Without seemingly any self-awareness, WaPo is asking "How did Republicans make their tax bill so darn unpopular?"

Tiberius Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 The smell of typical GOP failure is in the air Quote Top congressional Republicans, racing to hammer out a final tax agreement by the end of the week, have yet to make any breakthroughs on a range of key issues. House and Senate negotiators bounced proposals back and forth over the weekend, but said Monday that they still had to find compromises on where to set the corporate tax rate, how to treat millions of businesses that aren’t set up as corporations and how much of a deduction to allow for state and local taxes. https://www.politico.com/story/2017/12/11/treasury-tax-cuts-republican-plan-217504 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
