So, you ASSUMED I meant the things he listed.

LOL. A new update, he wants the 15% on passthrough businesses. These morons have literally learned nothing from Kansas. If they pass that, Ii am going to be a LLC doing business with my employer in a heartbeat. Whoo hoo!

Seriously, this tax idea is the most idiotic thing I have heard of, as usual R are all about the spending, nothing about the paying for it all.

Not invest in business, not expand in US, not create jobs. Distribute to share holders.

That's why a progressive tax system is better for job creation and business expansion. Charge a higher rate and allow credits to create jobs and write offs for growth expenses.

If you're familiar with my posts, you'd know I'm a military isolationist who doesn't want US tax money and blood shipped all over the globe as we stick our noses where they don't belong.
