President Trump detailed his historic tax cut plans, talked about his Twitter habits and praised Gen. John Kelly’s Thursday speech dismissing Florida Rep. Frederica Wilson’s suggestion that he was forced to make public statements to keep his job in an exclusive Fox News interview on Sunday.
In an interview on “Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo,” Trump talked about his plan to bring the “biggest [tax] cuts ever in the history of this country.”
“I think we’re going to get our taxes,” Trump said in the two-part interview. I think it’s going to be — well, hopefully before the end of the year, but maybe much sooner than that.”
“So there’s a great spirit for it, people want to see it, and I call it tax cuts. It is tax reform also, but I call it tax cuts. It’ll be the biggest cuts ever in the history of this country,” Trump added.

NEVER EVER going to pass the McStain led SENATE, with that useless McTurtle as the “leader”. On Brietbart today whining about Bannon’s innner party squirmishes destroying McTurtles chance of keeping the Senate. If they Senate does not step up to the Trump policies I see both houses of Congress passing to the RAT party in 2018. Just my opinion - no basis other then the anger I see everyday on the conservative side.
I will believe we are getting significant tax cuts,
when we get significant tax cuts, and not a minute before.
“...If the Senate does not step up to the Trump policies I see both houses of Congress passing to the RAT party in 2018.....”
Rat, GOPe? Whats the difference. They’re BOTH UniParty and enemies of America. GOPe RINOs need to be primaried out with real Trump-supporting conservatives. Right now, we’ve got little Eddie Munster trying to run the House and has-been post Turtle trying to run the Senate. Both couldn’t lead their way out of wet paper bags. But they sure know how to line their pockets with UniParty mooola. Then, we have no AG that will take the “bull by the horns”. Trump pretty much stands alone but he has The People on his side.
The biggest gripe is the lie they all told about repealing Obamacare. Hell, just send Trump the same exact bill you sent Odongo and see what happens. No, they won’t do it because they ALL still want it. Traitorous bassturds they are and need to be primaried OUT.
What is frustrating is that these ideas aren't even unique to Trump. Tax cuts and repeal of ObamaCare are basic Republican and conservative tenets that have been around for years. It's not like these Rs are being asked to cater to some new and strange Trump idea. They are being asked to simply sign onto what Rs have been yapping about for years and years. Basic bread & butter, meat and potatoes stuff.
Trump needs to cut some deal with the holdouts and get tax cuts through. Pay them off. Offer to erect a John McCain memorial monument in DC -- well --- maybe not go that far. :-) But do whatever it takes to get these guys on board. As disgusting as that is -- tax cuts will spur the economy and benefit millions of Americans and might secure Trump's reelection. If they can get it done it will be a glorious day.
No one gets credits, deductions, loopholes, or anything. No more EITC, where illegals and welfare queens get refunds for not paying anything in taxes.
the courts are a major difference - none of these judges would have gotten confirmed including Justice Gorsuch. It would be a huge detriment to getting more constitutionalists on the bench to make up for the 8 years of Obama stacking the courts if the GOP does not hold on to the Senate.
Wish it was more than just that, but that is no small issue.
The first rule of “tax cuts” has always been “I get screwed.” No matter what stage of life, income, number of kids, marital status, whatever. Everything I’ve read indicates it’s more of the same.
“Primaried Out”
“He may be a stinking bastard who doesn’t do anything right, but he’s OUR stinking bastard. Let’s keep him.”
10% pure, strict, unconditional flat income tax for personal income and corporations/businesses/self-employed.
No one gets credits, deductions, loopholes, or anything. No more EITC, where illegals and welfare queens get refunds for not paying anything in taxes.

I like your idea and would agree even with a slightly higher rate.
Alternatively I would support a transaction tax (a sales tax but
including services provided by lawyers, stock and bond sales
real estate, etc.)
This could be cost effective since many states have a sales tax;
they could collect on behalf of the federal govt thus eliminating
the need for a large IRS.
A sales tax taxes on the ability to spend and everyone contributes
from the wino at the liquor store to the wealthy person at the
brokerage house.
Ditto.
Anything I’ve seen so far has me thinking I’ll need to increase withholding.
