Exactly how much of their own money do you think people should be allowed to keep?
The same amount as the people do now.

People should be able to pay higher taxes if they CHOOSE to. Let's see how that works out...

I never have really even seen Democrats attempt to lower taxes on the middle class.
Tax the wealthy.... Republican wealth of course, not liberal wealthy people!

So you think its fair that 47% of the nation pays ZERO in federal income taxes while the other 53% pay for everyone?

Note, there is 11 Democrats
NOPE , you are pretending that the existence of the committee magically means the dems were allowed input and to take part in drafting tax reform.

We both know that is not true. I am not really sure why you are persisting with this pretense, but i am pretty sure you know very well the Republican have completely excluded the Dems from the entire process.

You fill your own car with gas now, you don't need to go to a cashier to check out in grocery stores or drugstores since you do it yourself now. The list goes on and on. And the hard working american families are the middle class not the rich. The middle class make people rich unless they just inherit their money from wealthy parents. This tax plan favors the rich. Republicans love to paint a different picture saying their plan would help the middle class keep over $1500 a year or so. And they are so energetic about it....like high fives. But it helps the wealthy to keep their millions. Their tax plan hurts teachers and college students who are the middle class.

So, no.....you don't get to lecture about debt and spending when you've spent decades making it abundantly clear that you couldn't give a wet slap about it as long as your the ones writing the checks.
But Obama was so bad, wasn't he? And that crooked Hillary. Jeez, these *******s just rumple my hide.

What a worthless thread. The GOP controls the entire government from top to bottom. Any failures that result from this tax plan ARE ENTIRELY ON THE GOP. Why do you care what some butt hurt democrats and liberals complain about on the radio and in the media? The GOP has control to do as they please. Now do it, and if it backfires you eat the consequences. Making threads about a mythical tax plan from a party that's not even in control is a complete waste of time.
