The bolded is a valid concern. But you can never under estimate the conservative media echo chamber and their messaging skills. They could spin the tax bill as one that would benefit everyone. Besides, some moderate (corporatist) Democrat senators could vote for such a bill in order to please their corporate donors.
You are correct about the Right Wing Echo Chamber but the middle America opposition will be massive against cutting taxes for the Über Rich while the Middle Class taxes goes up. I knew very well Bush W tried but failed woeful. That's why economists call it Trickle down. It never works and it won't work if trump tries it. The only thing I kinda like is cutting the Capital Gains Tax which I think is way too high at 33%.

Trump's lapdogs are in hibernation. I can't blame them because most of them are just worshipping the man I guess for his money. Trump at the end of his term in office will be a black spot in American history.

I like Capital Gains because I am paying 33% on my investment income and I thought that's kind of high on my risk taking but I am absolutely against cutting taxes for the Billionares and millionaires. There's a big difference in the two.

cheesy Of course there's a diffrence there. I just kind of love the fact that you were able to make your point politely. Although I know Trump does not see the proposed cut as a favor to be super rich, but as an incentive for mass domestic job creation.

I'm with you on that. It should be no more than 15-20% in order to encourage more investment in America.

After 7 years of whining and moaning about repealing Obamacare, wait what? 7 ole years shocked shocked shocked finally draft up a repeal and replace bill in a month angry but fail to sell that bill within their own party despite having more than enough votes to anything in the House, yet it fails.

The Republican Party is not a governing party, can't craft legislations or policies that help the American people.

Even Speaker Ryan itted that it is easier to oppose than to govern. Republicans always overreach whenever they are in power. Imagine our clueless president blaming Democrats for the bill while Republicons couldn't get the bill ed in the House with 44 seats majority. It's like blaming your opponents in Football game for defeating you. His next agenda now is Tax Reform and that one will fail too. Americans are seeing trump as a Conman that he really his.

How do they expect to get anything ed with bipartisan if the Rathuglicons party can't even agree on the single most important issue on their agenda for the past 7 years.

That is failure, with a big F. Tax reforms will be his first step at ruining the economy and turning the country over to his rich friends.

If that's true I wouldn't be surprised. Like I said before, Americans don't take a fall for anyone not even a President. Adelman, John Dean, Gordy Liddy and co didn't take a fall for Nixon during the Watergate scandal and no one will take a fall for Mr Tramp.

The tax reform proposal by Trump won't work. Republicons have been trying the Trickle Down Economics since Reagan time and it doesn't work. Another failure awaiting Trump.

You love making a fool of yourself. What the heck do you know about taxes in US ?. Your brain needs recalibration since you like to be relevant but you are a dunce of the highest order. Do you even pay taxes in your enclave ?. The only money I guess you pay into American Treasury is the visa fees which obviously is a waste. Go back into your hibernation.

I it was 33% but it was brought down and even at 20% , I believe it is still high because it's gain of investment which is different from income. I concur that risk takers shouldn't be penalized for their investment risks. That's what I am driving at.

Do you have the same position on corporate tax? 35% is insane.

Yes but the problem with the corporate tax is that most of those Fortune 500 companies end up paying nothing or Little taxes after all the deductibles. The big corporations knows how to beat the system.

Well, the effective corporate tax is around 18% after deductions and other loopholes.

Anyway, that one could be reduced to 25%, bringing the effective rate to around 10%.

CFCman, even at that rate, the big corporations are still going to use all the loopholes in the book to minimize their tax obligations plus they will always go abroad for cheap labor instead of paying Americans high wages.
