You've been snoozing for the last couple of weeks?




Oh. You mean a couple of sentences.


GOP talking points.
Wait until the fighting starts for more details.


That is always true and always has been. "Tax plans" are broad strokes
until they get out of Ways and Means, then they bounce around in
congress for a while with everyone inserting the amendments their
bribers want. They slap that around until they get enough votes to
pass it and that is why our tax code is over 3000 pages (the part
legislated by congress) and another 13,000 pages of CFRs
(administratively written IRS rules)
It is no wonder that just the cost of compliance of the tax code is
estimated at between $700 Billion and a $1 Trillion each year.
(accountants, tax advisors, lawyers, tax preparers etc along with tax
avoidance strategies.)
That is roughly the GDP of countries in the range of the Netherlands
to Mexico.
