Eliminating exemptions for the evil elites is a worthy goal. Not the 1% or the 0.01% or the 0.001%. It’s the Lucifer loving masterminds that have bought all the politicians and run the world’s governments and banks. It’s these same masterminds that should be in jail for illegal financial activities, insider/secret deals, and outright theft via bail-ins and bail-outs.

If that’s what Trump means, OK. But who really knows.

Another stupid headline by HotAir.

It’s a huge cut in taxes even for the rich.

Yes its a yuge tax cut. I’m OK with everything except I’m sorry if you and the wife are making $49,900 per year you can pay something. Same as if you are making $25,000. Maybe 3%-5%. Letting 50% of the working public out of taxes is a poor idea. Unless you are really destitute you should have some skin in the game even if its $500 per year.

I never begrudge anyone who pays less in taxes. All taxes in Trump’s plan went down for everyone. “The skin in the game” - I don’t buy it. We used that against Dem, but Dems do not like to cut any ones taxes poor or the rich. The money people save in taxes gets spent that spurs on economic growth, which generates more taxes for government since the tax base enlarges.

I believe that if you have some skin in the game even if its minimal its a psychological plus.

Furthermore, Trump plans to cut much government waste that we complain about all the time. This guy will do it instead of paying lip service like what we have gotten from politicians. Trump has set a target for 20% which is pretty good reduction. Reducing the government fat under the skin. I suspect he’d like to cut even more.

Trump could always put in a tax line for people who want to give more to government if it makes them feel better. *Grin*

Yes I am firmly convinced Trump will cut waste in spending. No more $200 toilet seats and that kind of garbage. There is so much waste and fraud in Medicare its insane.

Looks like Hotair has its Anti Trump soldiers on this site.

I heard the interview... did you? This is pretty much the Jack Kemp plan... and we took in a lot of money under that.

Interesting how Rush will spin this of if he jumps off the Trump train.

Unlike you Rush is waiting to read it more deeply, but he isn't trashing it because it lowers tax rates across the board for everyone except some of the hedge fund guys, the top 1% of the top 1%. Cry me a river.

Correct me if I have this wrong but I interpreted Trump's tax plan to mean that if you make less than $50,000 (as a married couple), you pay zero taxes but then you are taxed 10% on every dollar above $50,000. So if you are making as a couple $55,000 a year, you pay zero tax on the first $50,000 and 10% tax on the $5,000 (or $500).

It would be silly to tax a couple $5,000 for making $50,001/year while taxing zero for making one dollar less.

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.

Strange that you show bring that up since his top rate is 25% And you get to keep all or most all of your current deductions.

Personally I didn’t get that but I did miss the audio portion of the first several minutes and had to reload the streaming so I don’t know. My take was that at $50,000 or above you pay whatever percentage on the whole thing. Maybe I didn’t interpret it properly.

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

If they are forced to produce goods within the U.S. then there will be NO tariff on there product.

Someone else already mentioned "INCENTIVES."

Trump's PLAN could easily CHANGE everything to the benefit of Americans.

Hey, how else to you pay for a strong military, which is about all they should do with our money, or give it back to the states.

Plus you pay down this debt.

In short, we’re taxed to hell. The less tax the better, but everybody should pay something.

I’m looking at the comments from the people posting. Don’t sound pro Trump to me.

There was a time not so long ago when it was said what’s good for the wealthy is good for the people because poor people don’t provide jobs. Oh, and the wealth envy thing too.
