Fair tax will NEVER happen. There are too many Special Interests who have literally bought Congressional Votes to maintain the existing Income Tax Code.
How much of this disparity of taxes sent to the fed gov vs tax money returned to these states is due to the small, but very impactful, number of super rich who live in these states? High taxes on the rest are just that, high taxes. Somehow these states keep voting in liberal leaders, much to the frustration of us conservatives.
So did you mean “shoulder”?
Also, it isn’t really surprising that high population states send more total dollars than low population states.
The medical expense itemized deduction hasn’t gone away. It has actually been liberalized — at least for two years. The threshold for the deduction of those expenses has been reduced from 10% of income to 7.5% of income.
Can anybody explain truly what the pass-through is that is what affects me the most. I feel like the raising of the brackets makes this all OK because I look at it in where I am text at 39.6% now for 70,000 in income that actually moves way up and 70,000 Would be taxed at 24% so that is a pretty significant reduction if you look at the splits on the brackets however the pass-through is a big concern to me because at first it was 25% and now it seems that you’re allowed to deduct 23% and the rest gets taxed that your normal tax rate so I’m a little confused
I agree with your premise. Let the entities tax individually. And see JarHeads response to my post 171.
Conservative? JH is the “conservative” response. But, then you get into a discussion of the “true” definition of a conservative and people starting to measure their appendage.
Difference between state and fed taxes. Not a ‘double’ tax.
Stop the SALT and we’ll see if your right. Watch the net income of people in those states drop due to paying their own taxes instead of putting that burden on the rest of us and it’s a game changer. I’m getting closer and closer to 70 and I tire of supporting others who’ve made bad decisions in their lives. Don’t like paying state taxes then get out of that state. End of story!
Amen.
He needs a blanket party.
Democrats uniformly voted no.
Real RATs DON'T cut taxes.
(enemies of the American People)
Blanket party.
We should switch to a small flat tax (e.g., 10%), forget about revenue neutrality, remove withholding, and remove *every* deduction. 10%, period.
An anti-Trump badge of honor for him no doubt.
Marsha Blackburn will be a welcome relief.

I know it but they can not stop my dreams of a better world.
I’ve never been interested in the “who’s more conservative” BS. That’s schoolyard stuff, IMO.
I have no issues with JH’s ideas he posted to you.
I just find it odd to see so many complaining about achieving what I’ve always thought conservatives always wanted because it causes them personal pain. To think the US tax system can be altered in any fashion in a way that doesn’t cause pain to some is just not realistic, IMO.
Those six kids will each have six kids we will subsidize.
And each of those will have six, who will have six, who will have six......
And, within a few generations the USA will be the third world hell hole the Dems have been hoping for.
Can you or have you ever posted anything good about our president?
You have blinders on.
Do both of us a big favor don’t ping me with your tired Never Trump BS.
Please ping me when you post your good thoughts about the constitution and the inner workings of congress.
Gee I always remember it the easy way. Ending in ol the o stands for office and ending in al the a stands for cash.

Most do not understand that the global socialists have structured the tax system to benefit everyone in some way.
Reform of any kind will mean some will lose those benefits they think are so valuable.
In truth, those benefits are hollow nothings that should never have existed in the first place if the constitution was honored.
But this is why simplifying the tax code is becoming more and more difficult, even for self-identified conservatives.
