MasterJaguar01 -> New GOP Tax Plan (11/2/2017 8:05:12 PM)
OMG!!! I was skeptical... The Bush tax cut created the 15% bracket (allowed us all to slide some income into that bracket). Obama kept the Bush tax bracket (except the top end) AND lowered the FICA deduction to 4.2% (from 6.2%) for a few years. Thanks Obama! But THIS!!! 12% up to 45k for single. $90k for married 25% goes up to $200k for single and $260 for married I love keeping my income in 12% and 25%.... I calculated my taxes under this... I save just over $6k / yr!!!! I have NO idea what this does to the deficit (No CBO score yet)... Probably quadruple it From a PURELY selfish standpoint.... Go GOP Tax plan!

Just realized the SALT deduction removal made it in :( ok... Property Tax deduction is worth $1250 in real cash (gone) Living in a state with no income tax, I take the sales tax deduction (worth about $1k in real cash) (gone) But still come out ahead. Just no more itemizing. I am sure lots of you are in a similar tax situation.

its difficult to believe a lot of the "scoring" that goes on because they often don't state the assumptions inherent in forecasting, and we often don't look for them. what little I have heard says its deficit neutral if one considers the economic growth that comes as a result from it.

heavyblinker -> RE: New GOP Tax Plan (11/3/2017 7:06:35 AM)
Yeah, it's always important to include the imaginary economic growth that hasn't happened.

servantforuse -> RE: New GOP Tax Plan (11/3/2017 8:03:19 AM)
It's happening right now. Lets give the Trump administration a chance. He's only been in office a little over 9 months.

SeekingMnD -> RE: New GOP Tax Plan (11/3/2017 8:17:39 AM)
its not happening right now, his growth is hurricane cleanup, and you will have a impossible task to connect the cause and effect of Trump and god.

servantforuse -> RE: New GOP Tax Plan (11/3/2017 8:19:19 AM)
We shall see, won't we.

heavyblinker -> RE: New GOP Tax Plan (11/3/2017 8:26:44 AM)
The growth we are seeing now is based both on Obama's tenure and the fact that the opportunists know what happens when you implement trickle down policies and deregulation-- a bubble. The markets are abnormally high at the moment, and it is based on absolutely nothing but speculation. The bubble will definitely burst before 2020 and I really hope that Trump isn't president when it does.

fascinating that you decry an attempt to link the current economic growth from a cause and effect perspective to trump being president but appear to have no problem doing so when it comes to the "hurricane cleanup."

And just the number of people that can return to work, after the hurricanes and losing their jobs. You should learn some facts. Your lack of knowledge is truly deplorable. Why? Do you think the jobs added are lawyers and judges and FBI agents and PR guys and prison guards hired in anticipation of the massive influx of whitehouse commies into our prison system?

Strange isn't it, the economic growth they always promise will come from cutting taxes on the rich never actually materializes in a manner that impacts anybody but the rich, eh?

No, see... the wealth will trickle down. This is what has been happening since the 80s... everyone has been getting richer and richer and more and more jobs have been created. We are living in a paradise now.

It trickled down to me. Life is good.

Getting rid of the mortgage deduction (which hasn’t worked as planned—it subsidizes higher end houses) and compensating by raising the standard deduction (far more fair to renters) is long overdue. Corporate taxes...I’m actually neutral on that one. I’d like to see property tax relief. Estate tax doesn’t have to vanish. But in short — it’s just going to explode the deficit. Again.

MercTech -> RE: New GOP Tax Plan (11/3/2017 1:35:23 PM)
Just remember how the government keeps its promises over taxes... the "income tax" is a temporary measure to pay off the debt from the Spanish American War... or at least that is what the people were told to sell the concept.

SeekingMnD -> RE: New GOP Tax Plan (11/3/2017 1:37:10 PM)
civil war. But its become permanent and necessary when the republicans did the big giveaways to corporations when they were enlightened by the free market myth and gutted the tarriffs.

I’m pretty sure setting current policy over butt hurt feelings from 12 decades ago would be stupid.
