Hell will freeze over before the Democrats vote for this.
Permanent individual tax rates = GOOD.
Restoration of full SALT deductability = GREAT.
Permanet individual tax rates + Restoration of full SALT deductability = GIAGUNDO.
GO FOR THE BRASS RING!
Don’t settle for merely “good”.
Nice strategy there Rodney. The Dems have been bellyaching about the fact that the cuts expire at some point in the future. Put em on the spot.
Even Boinie said they should be permanent, but he, like all Democrats, voted against cutting the rates.
"Rep. Rodney Davis said Friday that he plans to introduce a bill to make the tax changes for individuals permanent."
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
This is not how legislative powers work. Congress can repeal any law it makes, either with Oval Office approval or a veto override.
ON THE OTHER HAND …
If the states were to wake up and repeal the 16th & ill-conceived 17th Amendments, then that would make tax change as permanent as it can get under the Constitution.”
Corrections, insights welcome.
They should make the corporate tax cuts permanent too
Full repeal of the ACA will do more to stabilize the middle class than any more tinkering with fiscal policy.
The focus now should be doing what should have been done months ago.
now if someone can get the SCOTUS to actually change their unlawful glenshaw glass and other rulings to make the income tax truely a tax on income and not wages, that would be something.
Good move. I’ve been advocating this since the bill was passed. Now that the tax bill is law, a bipartisan vote to make the individual cuts permanent is possible.
It wasn’t possible before the tax bill was passed because no Dems would vote for the tax bill itself, so the GOP was forced to use the reconciliation procedure. The result was a temporary tax cut.
So, call the Dems’ bluff and hold a vote to make them permanent now.
I think this is worthy of a ping.
Off the Wall Ping!

THEN, you can ‘bill’ each and every Citizen for their % of the cost of running govt.
