Trump proposes more tax cuts - and no way to fund them

Just wait until he sacks Ft Knox and puts solid gold cladding around Mar a puke o.
And of course making his solid gold statue of himself, in the center of the complex, word is, it will be larger and taller than the colossus of Rhodes.

 

Then the gop will turn around and blame the resulting deficit on the dems. Freakin hypocrites.

 

Whatever it takes to upend the apple cart, Im all for it. Cut taxes massively, cut prime rates by half or more and increase spending 2-3X current federal budget level.

 

So crash it, burn it all down. Dystopian fantasy much?

 

So you are in favor of taxing Seniors that contributed to SS for their entire working lives? The govt gives you $ and asks for some of it back. That makes alot of damn sense...

 

I’ll take the tax cuts. My money in the first place. Not my problem the government won’t balance their books.

Charity starts at home!

 

Do you guys have an independent office for economics etc, which looks at election/manifesto promises?

We have one over here but it's been downplayed a lot previously - then Labour got in and found basically £20bn of unfunded promises / exchequer 'black hole' in the public purse, left behind by the Tories.

I have many loathings about politicians, but my biggest peeve is promising stuff that doesn't stack up economically. Just wondering how you guys go about validating these promises?

 

We don't. We let them lie to us and then vote for them again anyway simply because of the letter next to their name.

Then we go on message boards and complain that the person with the letter we don't like is actually the bigger liar.

 

Lol, these tax the shit out of you lefties live in lala land.

 

Here's my thought. I convert all of my hourly employees to tipped employees so I can have my customers "gift" them their income, saving me boatloads on all associated taxes and insurance levied on my payroll.

 

GOP platform feels the same way. No plank about balancing the books or deficit reduction. Boomers racking up the bill leaving generations below with the tab.

 

You should see the proposal on that tip thing. It ain't for waiters and waitresses though he wants the rubes to think so. It's for like hedge fund managers.

 

I assume you are not in a service industry where tips are expected. Good luck getting employees that are going to rely on your customers to tip them if so. And good luck getting your customers trained to honorably tip enough to support your payroll.

 

Most would also vote for no gas taxes even if it meant no road repairs.

 

The gop only give a shit about it when a d is in office.
