Tiberius Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 Bring back Obama's payroll tax cuts with some changes. This would be a boost to middle class. To replace the taxes lost there should be a carbon tax instituted for obvious reasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 That’s wishful thinking. So is most Republican rhetoric around tax cutting. In reality, there’s no evidence that a tax cut now would spur growth. I could have told you that decades ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GG Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Food for thought - the US states that have the highest marginal income tax rates have the lowest bond ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NY bonds rated higher than KS and NY has higher marginal tax rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Brown Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Gary Kohn just said that he cant guarantee middle class taxes won't increase under Trump's proposed tax reform. Whether it's true or not, Trump pry shouldn't put this guy in front of a camera again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 (edited) Somebody has to pay for living in such a great country. Who's gonna step up to the plate. And... It can't be an individual here & there. Groups will have to bite the bullet. Everybody can't game the system.

But when Dems do it? They are just meanies! No, actually it's your heirs that are taxed And this is supposed to make me sad? Good. I'd be dead.

/dev/null Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Yeah. True. But when Dems do it? They are just meanies! When Dem's raise taxes they're only raising it on other people like those greedy people who have nice things you don't have. But not on you, if you like your tax cut you can keep your tax cut And this is supposed to make me sad? Good. I'd be dead. Be thankful Daddy left your lazy azz something before the tax man gets it. Hell yeah! That's what I say about Climate Change. In the unlikely event their doomsday predictions are even remotely realized I'll be dead and buried.

Chef Jim Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 One way to pay for it? Eliminate the step up in basis at death. If you sell an appreciated asset five minutes before you die you pay cap gains. You wait 6 minutes and let your heirs sell it, poof...the gains are eliminated. I don't understand the reasoning behind that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
