I'm all for a simplified tax code. As it is done in other countries, we should not be spending more than 10 mins filing our taxes. But I'm vehemently against corporate welfare, and huge tax breaks for multi-billion $$ corporations. The bulk of the tax cuts should go to typical small and medium-scale businesses and individuals earning under $90,000/yr. 3 Likes 1 Share |

CFCman:Thanks CFCman, that's the difference between critical thinkers and Servile dogs who follow their owners blindly. The 500 Corporations and the Blue Chips companies are making a record profit and by cutting their taxes will do nothing to help the Middle Class. America needs Trillions of $ to upgrade her infrastructures and where will that money comes from. Like the Biblical saying, To whom much is given, Much is expected. The Zombies according to Late Fela follows their lord blindly. Thank God I have the ability to question and critique my leadership. 1 Like |

15 percent business tax rate is too low. 20 -25 percent would be better. Not too bad, not too great either. |

daniel wilton spring lake nj This Republican tax plan is not tax reform it is an unashamed tax giveaway to the wealthy all in the tradition of Reagan and George W. Bush. Real deal Republican tax reform is when Republicans take something away (like Social Security) from the middle-class to pay for the 1% tax cut. Now that's a reform they would be proud of. You gotta luv the endangered middle-class who vote to put the welfare of the 1% above the welfare of their families. 2 Likes |

Wow--give the biggest tax cut to 1% when we have the highest debt in our history... a debt caused by bad wall street practices that enriched the 1% and robbed all the rest of us, and foreign wars that also enriched the companies of the 1%. And get rid of the Alternative Minimum Tax which would leave so many 1% (like Trump himself!) paying nearly nothing? This is immoral and absurd. 5 Likes |

JeffreyLG Chicago For lower income people and families, doubling the standard deduction would more than offset deductions for state and local taxes. However, that isn't the same for middle-class people; people who can afford to own their own homes. The poison pills are the elimination of the estate tax and the AMT. These are giveaways to the wealthy that they do not need, and will hurt revenue without any worthy economic impact. Furthermore, while empirical evidence does show that tax cuts can spur economic growth, there are no examples that tax cuts create so much growth as to 'pay for themselves' with increased collections. This is going to blow up the deficit, and that is irresponsible. 2 Likes |

Dan Chicago From a personal standpoint, I like this proposal because it should benefit me financially. However, from the country's perspective, it's likely to explode the debt. I'm sure Republicans have already decided they can blame soaring deficits from their tax cut on Democrats, assuming a Democrat replaces Trump in 2020. 2 Likes |

Jane Nelson Vero Beach Florida Maybe all of you in favor of this mess should take a look at Kansas. There is the result of "trickle-down economics." A state on the verge of bankruptcy, rotting bridges, schools closing, going deeper and deeper in debt and they still think it is going to work. Wake up America, this tax change will be the beginning of the end of this country and all that will be left are some very wealthy individuals and nothing else. 2 Likes |

jen East Lansing, MI The lesson, welcome to the private gig economy; don't ever be a paid employee. Even if you are a single individual register yourself as a business, and let employers enter into contract with that business in order to hire you. Your top marginal tax rate comes down to 15%, you can claim everything including your transport and food and entertainment expenses. The losers will be all public services, retirees and poor/handicapped people who depend on these services. 2 Likes |

Annie Dooley Georgia The hand that giveth also taketh away. Trump and his Republican oligarchs are setting up the death blow to anything good the federal government has done for the unwashed masses who go to work everyday and keep the money machine running for capitalists. When the national debt grows faster, they can then cry, "Emergency! Emergency!! Patriots arise! We must sacrifice entitlements to save our country!!" No more Social Security and Medicare, unemployment and workers' comp, no more student loans and Pell grants. Healthcare and higher education only for the wealthy. Paycheck workers and their children will simply have to sink or swim. Laws will already be in place to prevent workers from organizing to fight back and jails will be ready for protesters. This tax plan sends us back to the 19th century. 3 Likes |

The bottom line is that Trikle Down Economics doesn't work. It never worked during the time of Reagan, George Bush Snr and George Bush Jnr. It's not going to work this time too because trump is selling the whole farm to give hundreds of billions of dollars to his oligarchic friends while overwhelming majority of Americans in the Middle Class will get crumps. It will shoot the deficit into stratosphere and there will be no infrastructural upgrade because there will be no money for the upgrades. It's just like Nigeria Government giving huge tax breaks to the likes of Dangote, Adenuga, Otedola and other Billionaires while giving Crumbs to Middle Class people making Naira 100.000 to 200.000. How does that help the masses ?. Republicons are Con masters and Americans are waking up to their Con. This Tax Reform proposal is DOA. 1 Like |

Missy89: I don't get why some people are hell bent on punishing success. If you want your own tax break, Think of an idea, create your own company and be successful at it. Zukerberg is getting his own tax break just like all those who started from nothing, used their brains and created something America didn't become the superpower by punishing innovation and excellence. The spirit of America is take risk, be creative, make the money and keep most of your money The Democrat welfare state dream is to take money from the risk taker punish the rich so everyone can be on the same level 2 Likes 1 Share |
