RE: Incentives.

Can you name them?

The list I just mentioned would be a good start.

The key is in the definition of “wealthy”. When Democrats say they’re going to tax the wealthy, they’re talking about anyone with any income at all (burger flippers on up), and exclude the super-wealthy.

Markets adapt if given half a chance.

When Trump talks about bringing jobs back he really has to bring whole industries back. Over the last few decades we've pretty much gutted or out-right exterminated the domestic TV and consumer electronics industry, textiles, furniture, computer and cell phones, appliances, steel, etc., etc. For those jobs to come back you have to have someone willing to invest in rebuilding those industries pretty much from the ground up. Who will be willing to make that investment?

Hey Donald! I know you don’t take criticism well but try this on for size..

Those of us who work hard and don’t have billions are sick and f#%king tired of pulling this damn wagon full of loosers. (I am sure there are some truly needy in there too). It’s pocket change for you, but 50% of what I make is a lot of f#$king money to me. That is roughly the tax bite I am paying in total.

NO ONE SHOULD BE PAYING A 0% TAX RATE IF THEY ARE WORKING! they also should NOT be allowed to vote if they are paying no tax. There was a reason the founding fathers wanted land owners to be the voters. They had skin in the came. The 0%’ers have NO skin in the came.

I give him a pass on that. People make grammatical mistakes when they speak too fast and in this forum, you don;t have time to catch your breath ( not with a hostile interviewer ).

"What makes Trump think that by simply increasing tariffs, companies are then going to rush back and ignore those factors?"

The U.S. is the largest consumer market. They will do whatever is necessary to sell into our market.

Here is the full position paper on tax reform. No need to speculate any longer.

Tax increases of any type is not a conservative position.

To support tax increases on anyone is tantamount to asserting that the government knows better how to spend your money than you do.

21 posts before good sense

Btw plan is out now

It does not raise taxes on anyone

25% on very high earners which is a lot less than now

Biggest kick this economy could get tax wise is moratorium on capital gains

The earned income tax credit should really be a credit against prior paid in taxes. We shouldn’t be giving a credit and refund to people who haven’t paid in.

And they should consolidate all of the support programs under one central location, so that they can really see what people are getting.

And Trump would have that red side have at least a symbolic amount of skin in the game.

From what I understand about Trumps plan, that red side is going to get bigger.

Of course they should ... but too many don’t think beyond the bumper sticker slogans and talk. Trump is big time Liberal. I DO like that he has upset the GOPe, but anyone who thinks he would do anything remotely conservative is truly fooling themselves.

There’s been a lot of misleading memes going around even FR today and not all of them make the rightish knee jerking look good. For one possible example the non-bulldozed bodies of the stampede-killed crowd of Islamic hajj-goers, shown against an old picture of the locale. (What is being bulldozed in the picture of bulldozers is clothing.)

You might explain how a 5-10-15% structure makes the red side bigger unless the red will now be the 5% tax crowd.

He values the deal even over the ideology and it so happens that most of America wants something more conservative that the government it has now.

You are fooling yourself in not realizing this.

I for one am tired of fighting to keep rates low on Wall Street limousine libs who fund our mortal enemies. I know it’s bad economics but it’s fun political warfare
