1. reform defense spending. Stop building giant targets (carriers) and focus on smaller more flexible platforms that are modular. Carriers DO have their place. But we have way too many of them, at way too high of a cost. As a example. But also....we are vastly overpaying for a lot of the hardware.
2. Pretty much anything but what we do now. Every developed country provides comparable healthcare at HALF the cost.
3. Its 127K. And we should apply it to earned and unearned income, at a rate that makes it stable.
4. Im not as sure of this to be honest. Either way it gets paid by people. The far more important one is your next one....
5. This. Some MAJOR companies paid 0 last year. This is wrong.
In addition? Tax earned and unearned income at the same levels.
I would disagree with this. I would tax unearned income at a higher level than earned income.
Someone working should be able to keep more of their cash versus someone sitting on a pile of cash doing nothing but getting paid out interest every month.
However, I'm not sure if there's even a possible mechanism that can be implemented that rewards savers. Because there are people who are good at saving and can accumulate a pile of cash over the years versus inherited wealth. But I would reward the savers and not the ones who were born into wealth.
Republicans have already made inroads into cutting medicare and Social Security. If you have children you should be ashamed of yourself for being for this tax plan. They will have no safety net when they get old like you do now. Thank the Republicans for that......
I don't think you need to have kids to be ashamed of yourself for supporting this tax plan. It is a plan that will enrich the rich while impoverishing the middle to low income.
for the record i live in WA and the Trumptax means a 5 figure savings for me...yet i am still against it for a number of reasons.

My child won’t need any safety net because she will be taught to be self reliant. And she is being taught that liberalism is evil.
And I don’t need any safety net do I should have the option of not paying into it.
Lack of taxes or spending, take your pick. Regardless this will increase the deficit and will require larger spending cuts or tax increases down the road. Taxes are relatively low now, we should could well afford to increase taxes in this environment beu here we go pouring gasoline on the fire.
Stop welfare in its entirety and defund the UN. Budget balanced.
This is not hard - 10% cuts in budget and personnel to every Agency including the military. Negotiate harder on medicaid costs - especially drug costs using FDA approval/denials to force cuts.

Trump just proposed an increase of $700B, how much does the U.N. cost.
