He spoke in broad strokes, saying that it was a ā€œmonumental thing that happenedā€ when Ronald Reagan authorized lowering the corporate tax rate to 34 percent in 1986. Trump argued that the rest of the world subsequently lowering their tax rates demanded more corporate tax cuts in the United States.

Great. They advertised Trumpā€™s ā€œvisionā€ for tax reform.

In this speech we got Schumpeterā€™s ā€œCreative Destructionā€ not only of logic but of arithmetic as well.

Trumpā€™s economic ā€œvisionā€ materialized when someone read to him from the collected works of Grover Norquist and Milton Friedman. It cannot have been easy for his ā€œtutorā€ to work Trumpā€™s name into every paragraph as she read.

Some vision.
ā€œMr. Magoo examines economicsā€

The Ratings continue to trickle down. Time to cancel the show. Iā€™m betting Sen. McCaskill is in Washington long after Trump goes to His Wherever.

ā€œThis is an area on which Iā€™m optimistic President Trump and I will find common ground,ā€ she told the Washington Post over the weekend.

When Trump is enabling bigotry, thatā€™s a problem. When heā€™s imitating Paul Ryan, youā€™re cool with that?

I donā€™t think Trump realizes that Claire will happily cut taxes.

You donā€™t understand: TRUMP is fact-checking the universe, one detail at a time.
If he gets to a second term, apples are going to start falling up instead of down.

Was this an ā€œofficialā€ visit/trip by Trump, or a political rally? If the latter, and it sure sounds like it was, then the Trump campaign should be paying for the trip, not us taxpayers!

Why would these people care about CORPORATE taxes when they donā€™t have a safety net to help them!

Despite his delusions of adequacy, Donald Trump is no Ronald Reagan.

To paraphrase Ron Reagan Jr: ā€œMy father crapped bigger ones than Donald Trump.ā€

Given that we have been absolutely beaten to a pulp with the notion that the reason Trump ā€œwonā€ was economic populism and the ā€œforgotten Americansā€ [massiveeyeroll] one wonders how this kind of tax reform policy is supposed to go over with his base.

The forgotten Americans who want to die in a coal mineā€¦

They will support corporate tax reductions and elimination of the ā€œdeath tax.ā€

Never know when those Lotto numbers will hit and they will have to pay the taxes in the first place!

Iā€™d like to hear any corporation explain what they were not able to do solely because of their tax burden, and an explanation from the prez why that thing is more important to the country than cutting the deficit.
