As an example - when AOC (yes, that AOC) suggested adding an additional tax bracket that kicked in only AFTER income passed $50,000,000 for a year (fifty million) you would have thought the world was ending. We have 7 brackets thanks to the Ryan/Trump tax give away, why does adding one more mean the end of America? |

How about limiting the size of farms and ranches? How about turning the clock of tax policy back to the 1950s that people today agree were superior in many ways Sociologically (not Scientifically). Made in America was a big part of the healthy attitudes and social equality enjoyed by Americans in the 1950s. Also, foreign countries had not YET infected Americans with LETHAL drugs like beginning in the (about) the 1980s and continuing and getting worse today. |

It is true that there are legitimate concerns about drug supply chains but making up a statistic is not a legitimate way to make a point. |

For one, things like "Fresh Apples" are typically harvested and warehoused for up to 6 to 9 months. They are then almost completely lacking in the nutrients they had when harvested. Shipping food in from literally 10's of thousands of miles takes time and they have to be harvest early to not ripen before they hit the stores. If is can be grown locally, it should be. |

You mean when agriculture was LESS efficient? When tax policies allowed the 1% to pay LESS that they are now? Be careful what you wish for... |

The taxes should be paid on the end user. Either their employees, investors/shareholders (when they reap dividends), etc... Otherwise they are being taxed twice... Putting things in ALL CAPS doesn't make it any more true, nor correct... |

How to correct that is complicated and isn't going to happen as long as our corporate citizens are allow to vote with their money. The issue with that is the disparage between the voice regular citizens have (amount of money they can spend) compared to any one large corporation. We have been basically disenfranchised by proxy. BTW, I agree completely, companies should not pay "income tax", it simply gets passed along to the eventual consumer. However, I can assure you if we repeal all corporate tax they will not pass a cent of that along to the consumer - sort of damned if you do and damned if you don't. We need a complete tax overhaul, and that is not going to happen in this world of cooperation and friendly government. |

And yes, the tax code needs to be revamped... Many have run on that platform. None have been elected... |

If you were in a bracket that paid zero FEDERAL income taxes, how exactly could your taxes be lowered below zero? And the fact that you saw the previous changes as a "gift" speaks volumes... |
