teasel Knowflake Posts: 10797 From: Registered: Apr 2009	posted April 25, 2017 06:18 PM From a friend: quote: The Trump "tax plan" cuts corporate taxes by 57% meaning that you and I will have to pick up the slack for the billionaires at Exxon through higher tax rates on our end. In addition, Trump wants to eliminate the 401K write off despite the GOP's threats to dismantle Social Security. How in any conceivable way is this a pro-working class, pro-middle class administration? You don't have to be a steel-town girl to know that the executives in the high towers never, ever, ever share their wealth with the workers unless those same workers unite to demand equity.

The house isn`t even considering it yet. quote: After the bill’s defeat in the House, Republican lawmakers are scrambling to refine and compromise on language within the bill. Even if the bill’s edits are complete by the end of the week, it would take another week the give the House time to consider the legislation, putting it past Trump’s 100 day mark to repeal and replace Obamacare. http://www.msn.com/en-ae/news/world/trumps-promises-for-first-100-days-in-office-is-he-keeping-them/ar-BBAjjM0?li=BBqrPye ------------------ Partial truth~the seeds of wisdom~can be found in many places...The seeds of wisdom are contained in all scriptures ever written… especially in art, music, and poetry and, above all, in Nature.

Node Knowflake Posts: 2926 From: 2,015 mi East of Truth or Consequences NM Registered: Apr 2009	posted April 26, 2017 02:17 PM Presenting House Republicans appear to have included a provision that exempts members of Congress and their staff from their latest health care plan. The new Republican amendment, introduced Tuesday night, would allow states to waive out of Obamacare’s ban on preexisting conditions. This means that insurers could once again, under certain circumstances, charge sick people higher premiums than healthy people. Republican legislators liked this policy well enough to offer it in a new amendment. They do not, however, seem to like it enough to have it apply to themselves and their staff. A spokesperson for Rep. Tom MacArthur (R-NJ), who authored this amendment, confirmed this was the case: Members of Congress and their staff would get the guarantee of keeping these Obamacare regulations. Health law expert Tim Jost flagged this particular issue to me. A bit of background is helpful here. Obamacare requires all members of Congress and their staff to purchase coverage through the health law’s marketplace, just like Obamacare enrollees. The politics of that plank were simple enough, meant to demonstrate that if the coverage in this law were good enough for Americans, it should be good enough for their representatives in Washington. http://www.vox.com/platform/amp/2017/4/25/15429982/gop-exemption-ahca-amendment IP: Logged

It's aimed at helping the middle class. It will pay for itself through growth. When Reagan lowered the top rate from 70% to 28%, revenues doubled! IP: Logged

Who would want to come here now? A racist, sexist/misogynist government is now running this country. Your president has been riling up crazy dictators who would love to kill us all, it seems.

Randall Webmaster Posts: 85644 From: From a galaxy, far, far away... Registered: Apr 2009	posted April 30, 2017 05:52 PM Oh, I suppose you think we should bow down to murderous dictators, cower to them, and pay them billions like Obama did? No, illegal crossings are down, because unlike Obama's catch and release, President Trump is enforcing the law. IP: Logged
Randall Webmaster Posts: 85644 From: From a galaxy, far, far away... Registered: Apr 2009	posted April 30, 2017 05:59 PM Under Reagan's tax cuts, the GDP went from minus -1.9% to 4.7% the following year and then over 7% the next year! If we only grow the economy by 1% from eight years straight of Obama's 2% to only a gain a single percentage point to 3%, it will create 180 billion in revenue. By lowering the capital gains tax, people will sell off assets and pay taxes. Repatriation of offshore monies will result in taxes. Then people will spend that money in the economy. Lowering corporate taxes will result in investment in machinery to make work more efficient and create more jobs. IP: Logged
