Democrat or Republican, can we all agree that driving the US deeper and deeper into debt is a bad thing? So our only two options are raise taxes or cut spending, but neither party is willing to make those choices.
I've heard nothing but complaints from the left with respect to the GOP tax plan. What ideas are the Democrats bringing to the table? During the Cruz/Sanders debate on CNN a few weeks ago, Bernie mentioned something about how he'd like to see our taxes as high as Denmark's, which are apparently the highest in the civilized world. I never have really even seen Democrats attempt to lower taxes on the middle class.
Do the Democrats have a Tax Plan?
NO.
Just like they NEVER introduce 1 single thing to "fix" O care. In there minds things are perfect.
The Republicans would not allow a single democrat to either partake in the planning or see so much as a word of the text.
1 did you know this before posting?
2 Do you expect the Dems to publish a plan that the Republicans have already refused to discuss with them?
3 Did you know that neither the Republicans nor the Democrats have ever excluded the other party like this before. At least in the last 50 years.
these are easy yes no questions OP..
"The Republicans would not allow a single democrat to either partake in the planning or see so much as a word of the text. "
So, you are claiming that not 1 single dem on the Ways and means Committee was allowed into ANY of the committee hearings that talked about the bill even though EVERY SINGLE dem voted against it.
Finally someone is acknowledging it. Republicans are only interested in Republicans. In fact, because there are so few Republican senators in blue states, the Senate tax bill removes State and Local Taxes as a deduction because they literally are at war with blue states and figure there is no risk to their senators. The GOP owns everything that is happening. Every.single.thing.
"Finally someone is acknowledging it. Republicans are only interested in Republicans."
Dems are only interested in dems.
Reminds me of when reid was the Senate majority leader who REFUSED to let any repub even see a House passed bill much less give the bill to the respective Senate committees.
"A budget? we don't NEED a budget"
I guess you don't like it when the show is on the other foot.
Why do we have to lower taxes? The debt is already ballooned no need to make it worse for no reason. Wages need to rise on the bottom end otherwise our demand situation will not improve supply-side stimulus simply will not do anything of value to the economy
"Wages need to rise on the bottom end"
With your PhD in finance, business and economics, how do YOU intend to make that happen?
How many SUCCESSFUL bushiness did you stat and run?
Their ideas don't include tax cuts for the wealthy and big corps, so what's the point? That's obviously one of the GOP's main goals....the other being screwing people in blue states.
"the other being screwing people in blue states."
All those blue states have to do is LOWER their OWN taxes.
It is NOT the feds fault that blue state have HIGHEST property taxes in the country.
Baby Boomer Republicans also have a plan: cut taxes for themselves, protect SS and Medicare for themselves, cut if for everyone else. Run the debt up. Die. Stick Xers and Millennials with the bill.
You do realize that Obama doubled the debt, don't you?
Yea, raise them, that's their answer to everything.
We actually do need to raise taxes a lot, and across the board. Everyone sees what's going on with this climate and these hurricanes. Schumer and congress can fix this climate, they just need more money.
