Tax Reform
 
In my view our tax policy should be efficient and simple. Its goal should not be fairness because that is a subjective term and as such everyone will want their share of fairness. In that I am against all types of carve outs

I am interested in others opinion concerning the following current tax breaks and perhaps other tax breaks that come to mind

Employer-provided healthcare and medical care
Capital/ dividend/interest gains
State and local tax deductions
Mortgage Interest deduction
Charitable -donation deductions
Tax credits for renewable
Tax credits for purchase of EV (electric vehicles)
Import/Export subsidy for corporations

Personal Best Regards:

"Tax Policy" is thinly disguised Type 2 legislation: screwing somebody in some fashion.

Fair tax is the flat tax on personal income only -- all tax after Income tax is Double taxation.

To achieve that, the Constitutional machinery has to be overhauled. Here's a place to start:

An honest discussion has to start with this so called tax reform is a direct transfer of our grandchildren’s future earnings to their parents and grandparents. Shame on us for supporting this piece of garbage.

Despite the sledge-hammer emphasis of the is post, I doubt the poster is sincere, since deficit spending has been a fact of life for decades, and I suspect this poster never mentioned deficits during the 8 years of Obama.

But I agree, debt policy is shows what an utter disgrace and fraud government fiscal policy is.

"Trump has no ideological drive to tame the deficit. The President has made clear that he doesn't mind if deep tax cuts result in a ballooning of the national debt. He is not pre-occupied with offsetting new spending; and he is entirely comfortable with a clean raising of the debt ceiling."

You have nothing comprehensive or principled to contribute to this discussion -- only politically expedient details to feed the Femo-Fascist's primitive blood lust for power, as acted out by discrediting Trump and the anti-Type-2 Americans who voted for him.

Huh? WHY should MY income...MY labor be taxed? WHY does the government think it's entitled to part of MY labor? It can tax imports, it can have a "use tax". But it SHOULDN'T be taxing the work I do as an individual person.

ONLY when you run a deficit year after year and owe $20 trillion that you'll NEVER pay back. It's OVER $60,000 PER man, woman, and child. A baby born today...owes more than $60,000 as his share.

Fraud is the only word you had to use. Government transfers our labor to themselves through the "money system". You see...we do actual work and they hand us pieces of paper. Then we have to give some of it back as "taxes" on out labor...and interest...for loans that are nothing more than a bank ledger entry. The bank puts nothing on the line. They don't have warehouses full of gold to back anything up. It's ledger entries. Numbers on a computer screen. MOST of the "money" doesn't exist anywhere as cash.

"In fact, economists estimate that only 8 percent of the world's currency exists as physical cash. The rest exists only on a computer hard drive, in electronic bank accounts around the world."

"As of July 2013, currency in circulation—that is, U.S. coins and paper currency in the hands of the public—totaled about $1.2 trillion dollars. The amount of cash in circulation has risen rapidly in recent decades and much of the increase has been caused by demand from abroad."

People ignore the financial situation the country is in NOW. $20 trillion in debt and borrowing over $1 trillion every year. We ARE bankrupt...the party won't last forever. It will end within 30 years. An 80% minority America won't survive.

THAT is how you killed your grandchildren's future...you gave away "white America" and are replacing it with 3rd world America.

Those tax breaks listed are all worth having with the exceptions of purchasing electric vehicles, and the subsidies for corporations.

Just too bad posters did not take this discussion seriously but just put their blatherings on what could have been a good discussion thread.

I am that poster and you are flat ass wrong. I have been against passing our debt on to our grandchildren long before Obama. You should try it.

If you say so.

There has to be a Constitutional Amendment to prohibit government debt. We're chumps if we think government will control itself.

It seems to me, sadly, once again the Republicans are turning to Trickledown Economics. It hasn't worked before and it will not work now. Just ask Kansas.... Sam Brownback was elected Governor along with a Republican Senate and House enacted into law as the first order of business.

Within 2 years the state was in trouble:

It got worse, he doubled down then the legislature revolted.

You are correct it will not work but it will pass with support from both sides. Politicians keep their jobs year after year by coming up with innovative ways to pass debt onto our grandchildren. They have a winner here.

Tax proposal
 
I think that the draft dodgers’ proposal to eliminate the AMT is the primary thing that he really wants. The 1040 tax form that he leaked, to prove that he paid taxes that year, show that of the $38 million that he paid in taxes, $31 million was for AMT. He may also want to eliminate the estate tax that taxes any estate over $11 million.

I did not realize you two were an item...I assume you know because he whispered those sweet nothing's in your ear for some time now.

What is really tiring is the lack of posts on these subjects till now, suddenly there is urgency in everything...but you "guys" must have been complaining to yourselves while Obamma was in office, cause you were not fvcking on here with that ****.

You got called out for making false assumptions and then pretending not to understand when corrected so you respond with insults and profanity? No adulting going on here I guess.

I was not part of TOTV when Obama was in office so posting here then would have been rather difficult. I know it's hard for some people to grasp but there really are people who don't like Trump and also didn't like Obama. Your assumptions that someone who critcizes party X must blindly support party Y is an error made by both red and blue supporters. My positions are neither red nor blue but are more purple so nobody totally represents me and every elected official disappoints me in one way or another. Even those I voted for.

And you shouldn't be here now...you don't live here...you don't know what it's like living here.

Because they all WORK for the corrupt D and R parties...not us.

Most people are idiots...loyal to a corrupt party that is stealing from them. $20 trillion so far...they've stolen $20 trillion so far and left EVERY citizen with $60,000 as their "share" of the "debt".

Then STOP voting for the Ds and Rs every time. They ARE corrupt...every one of them.

That's not ALL "you hear" that is wrong. We know you believe everyone is equal...there's one thing you believe that isn't true. Are you religious? Do we add that lie to what you believe?

Where else but a WHITE place would you think someone who doesn't want to be around minorities would live? Outside the bubble...with the dregs? I'm quite happy here "CalGuy" that's why I fight so hard to KEEP as much of America as possible...just like here. While YOU fight to turn the villages into Wildwood.

You speak of the benefits of diversity without KNOWING how wonderful it is WITHOUT it.

Like sports with and without girls. Do you want to see mandatory women players in professional sports? Each team HAS to field 50% women at any time. Would you watch it? No...because compared to NO WOMEN (segregated) professional sports...diversified sports sucks. Would you WANT the NFL and NBA to require that no more than 15% of the players can be black instead of the 80% now? No...again, it would make it worse.

White people make better neighbors than the minorities. Period. Always. We shouldn't be encouraging them. We can provide for them...but we shouldn't be artificially propping them up. FORCING them into positions they can not hope to be able to prosper in. Because of quotas, companies are required to carry 20% dead weight. Schools, colleges...are FULL of dead weight...minority dead weight.

America IS falling...it IS failing. BECAUSE the demographics are changing...from 90% white to 49% white to 20% white in 30 years.

Draft dodger
 
I have no problem with people having had a valid draft deferment. However, Trump got a draft deferment claiming to have heal spurs after he played sports for his college teams. During the campaign, he claimed that he was the best baseball player in New York at that time. I think that the Mickey Mantle fans would not agree. He also does not even remember which heal had the problem. That is what I call a draft dodger.

Do their DUTY? Getting killed in a war that should have never happened is "duty"?

WHY can't you see lies and propaganda for what it REALLY is?

WHY don't you worry about the inevitable loss of your country to invading Hispanics? America has 30 years...maybe less...before it is GONE.

Do you have ANY idea how many past empires there have been? How many are left? DEMOGRAPHICS destroyed most of them. The people change...and they don't care about the empire and it collapses.
