Amazing reaction to tax announcement
 

As is my hobby, I channel surf after a major political announcement or
news, just to get a feel on how the cable networks react.

So, after today's announcement of the proposed new tax rates, the panel
on FoxNews were kicking around how it will help individuals, small
businesses and large businesses. The focus of their discussion was how
and why the new tax rate plan would benefit the economy overall and
create more jobs.

Switch to MSNBC:

Here the larger panel of pundits were focusing (and speculating) on how
the new tax rates will benefit Donald Trump. Period. That's all they
were talking about.

Like you, Fox has bought into the Trump bull****. MSNBC wants to know
how many millions the Trumpsters will make off of this, what it will do
to the deficits, and how it will devastate what little remains of the
social safety net, science, enforcement of anti-pollution and other
citizen safety laws.

In other words, if Trump proposed it .... it must be bad ... even if you
don't even know the details of his tax changes.

As usual, Trump didn't present any real details, and until he provides
details *and* his tax returns and an independent agency determines how
much the Trumps will make off of this latest scheme, it should be dead
in the water.

Trump promised to revise the tax code. Whatever today's proposal is, it
ain't that. Further, there is no evidence that draconian tax cuts will
result in more good jobs.

What Trump specializes in is bad, poorly thought out ideas, most of
which will never come to fruition. But the dummies in his base still
believe him.

Remember when Trump said repeatedly and in no uncertain terms that he
would build a big, beautiful wall along the U.S.-Mexico border and the
wall would be paid for by Mexico? How is that working out?

BTW, this wasn't his budget request. It was his proposal for lowering
taxes. The rich still pay the highest percentage by far. It really
applies to middle class individuals, Sub-S sorporations and large
corporations as an incentive to base operations in the USA, expand and
hire more Americans. A one time tax will apply for those corporations
with their holdings overseas and then a 15 percent (as proposed) tax
thereafter.

This is very good for the economy of the USA.

Yes, the tax code revision is on his "to-do" list but this wasn't it.
This addressed lowering taxes only.

The Dems are going to screw this all up because they think seeing
Trump's tax returns is more important than giving the middle class and
business, small and large, a tax break. Personally, I don't give a
**** about Trump's tax returns. They are, by law, automatically audited
by the IRS ... both his and the Vice President's. If something is
illegal in them, I am sure a whistle blower will let the media know.

Amazing, isn't it, that roles have reversed in Congress. The liberals
are now the obstructionist party and the conservatives are the
progressives (for the most part).

He's still claiming it will be built. We'll just have to see. He's
coming up on 100 days in office. Something like 1,390 days more to go.

I'm not sure "illegality" is the issue in Trump's tax returns, although
if there is income in there from Russia, well, that might be a can of
worms.

Oh...the conservatives...are the regressives.
