He spoke in broad strokes, saying that it was a āmonumental 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.
poor Glenn Kessler
Great. They advertised Trumpās āvisionā for tax reform.
In this speech we got Schumpeterās āCreative Destructionā not only of logic but of arithmetic as well.
Trumpās economic āvisionā materialized when someone read to him from the collected works of Grover Norquist and Milton Friedman. It cannot have been easy for his ātutorā to work Trumpās name into every paragraph as she read.
Some vision.
āMr. Magoo examines economicsā
The Ratings continue to trickle down. Time to cancel the show. Iām betting Sen. McCaskill is in Washington long after Trump goes to His Wherever.
āThis is an area on which Iām optimistic President Trump and I will find common ground,ā she told the Washington Post over the weekend.
When Trump is enabling bigotry, thatās a problem. When heās imitating Paul Ryan, youāre cool with that?
Wear it as a badge of honor, Claire.

If he gets to a second term, apples are going to start falling up instead of down.
Benito Mussolini would be proud!
Was this an āofficialā 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 donāt have a safety net to help them!

To paraphrase Ron Reagan Jr: āMy 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 āwonā was economic populism and the āforgotten 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 ādeath tax.ā
Never know when those Lotto numbers will hit and they will have to pay the taxes in the first place!
Iād 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.
Reagan was against the āEvil Empireā.
Trump kisses their ass.
Trump: āI, alone, can fix thatā
How big was the crowd?
O goody - someone agrees with me.
I have been saying that myself. I know what the Income Tax Code looks like - holy shit! Paulie cannot get his caucus in line and then thereās the senate.
Nah gah hahppen (to resurrect an ancient and hoary expression)
It was YUUUUUUUUUUGE! The biggest, bestest, most excited crowd EVAH.
