““Let’s not talk about why we can’t do something. Let’s talk about how fantastic things will be if we get this done,” House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., told the National Association of Manufacturers.”

Yeah, I’m sure it will be Fanfuckingtastic, Paul.

Vice President Mike Pence, who addressed the manufacturers before Ryan, promised “the largest tax cut since the days of Ronald Reagan.”

I remember those days - that’s when the national debt was under a trillion dollars. Then the tax cuts came…

“We’ll cut taxes across the board for working families, small businesses and family farms. We’ll simplify the tax code by cutting seven brackets down to three,” Pence said. “We’ll eliminate the alternative minimum tax, end almost every deduction and under President Donald Trump we’ll
repeal the death tax once and for all.”

Why don’t they just eliminate taxes altogether? We know it’s what they really want.

Try to imagine if this had happened when the Democrats had House and the Senate under President Obama.

The shrieking would have been punctuated by gunfire.

Any idea what the susPence family would gain from repeal of the Inheritance Tax?

ZERO!

Kind of like the rest of us.

An agenda so popular you need to craft it in secret. Why so shy, boys?

(PS: Ryan is still beating that DBCFT/border-adjustment tax dead horse. Nobody else wants it. Nobody.)

It’s the zombie magic asterisks apocalypse. The long term goal of course is to bankrupt the country so we can no longer support medicare and social security.

The nation will resemble a giant Walmart with a nuclear arsenal.

Ha. “The Expert”. If Kushner fails to bring peace to the middle east, solve the opioid epidemic, diplomatically solve problems with Mexico and China, take care of veterans, and ensure that the government is run like a business, maybe Trump will let Barron have a go. I rather think the kid might do a better job.

Once the Tax Bill has been pushed through Donny will then make public his tax returns . /s

His corporate masters must want it, hence his dog-with-a-bone act.

“We’ll cut taxes across the board for working families, small businesses and family farms.

So the American people will be screwed again…trickle down does not work
