Show of Hands

Well the democrats are going to hate this idea now that Trump is proposing it.

The rich already pay far more than their fair share.

Yeah, neither him or AOC smuggled weapons to Iran to fund Nicaraguan paramilitary groups. Also, Trump is deporting illegal immigrants instead of giving them amnesty like Reagan did, which turned California forever blue. Thank GOD Trump is nothing like Reagan!

We need to increase corporate income taxes for mid to large size companies as well. Do this and you stop stock buybacks and you increase corporate investment in their company and employees. Low corporate taxes don't increase economic activity

That sounds all well and good, but will only be effective if loopholes are plugged.

Poor rich

😂😂😂 leave the oligarchs alone!!!! You fascist!!

See he is a democrat.

Disapprove. Taxing income is extortion, pure and simple. I don't care if it's Jeff Bezos or the dude at McDonald's; it's wrong.

After a quick check to the result breakdown, yeah no the democrats are pretty on bord

No, any increase on anyone is bad. We have a spending, not a tax problem.

Everyone should be charged a certain percentage and that percentage should be the same number for everybody. The rich will still end up paying more!

Cud, if you apply yourself you can be rich someday too.

See? Just wait around and Donnie will FLIP FLOP

Annabelle. Persecution complex much?

Tax on companies is passed directly to consumers in higher prices or a lesser product. It may be the dumbest of all taxes.

Trump has more in common with AOC, then he does with Reagan.

What one person identifies as hoarding, another identifies as earning. There is no logical reason to give a crack head more money. They will only buy crack, pissing away every dime given. Tax rates should be reduced annually across the board until we get as close to zero as possible. Regardless of being rich or poor, no one has a right to confiscate your money.

Sounds great, doubt it happens

So many things wrong with that …sentence?

FL-agree when we spend money on 80 plus million dollar parades and changing Alcatraz back to a prison, our government is spending out of control.

Not really, because they are in a position to reduce their income to naught, all the while hoarding enormous wealth. We’d need to restructure income tax somehow, to make the schemes they frequently use ineffective.

Reducing spending is not enough either, if the super rich are allowed to keep hoarding wealth exponentially, while also reducing their income tax exposure to naught. Both fronts should be tackled simultaneously.

50+% of the US doesn’t pay income taxes.

Isn’t this what the leftists want?

Democrats have wanted the rich to pay more tax for years.

But being trump suggests it, Democrats will hate it. 🤣

I don't understand the sudden turn around, but if he wants to fund aspects of his bill, this seems like a necessary move.

IF true. It is from MSN.

Biden wanted it to be for people making more than $400,000 per year.

There isn’t enough money even if you took 100% of the rich people’s money to pay for what the government spends.

It looks like a conscience. He talks about what a company can do with his profits and then talks about extortion using taxation.

Here is the crux. It'd be so nice if Corporation would use their excess profits to invest in the companies and improve employees lives.
IF YOU DON'T DO WHAT WE WANT WE WILL EXTORT YOU THROUGH TAXATION USING THE GOVERNMENT !!!!

Thats funnay AF

You know what’s another tax corporations face that is passed onto the consumer? Tariffs.

Also, worth noting that companies saying “don’t tax us or we’ll raise prices” is extortion. So… if companies are willing to play that game, maybe the gov should step in and prevent them from gauging prices in response.

I think that you’re right.

how are the TDS brainlets going to make this into something negative? lol

It never works for the government to step in. It always goes the opposite way you want it to go. So some tariffs are being paid by the foreign countries. China paid the tariffs before and are picking up most of it now. But their banks are collapsing. Dozens in the last two weeks. It’s killing them.

Are you referring to SOH poll results? 🤡

Consider the source.

Trump poisoned conservatism. Now we have two anti free market parties. As terrible as conservatives were with social issues, atleast they had the better ideas with business.

Waste and Fraud is what government does best.

This is incorrect..

Congress is talking about. ( not Trump) raising the tax on 1%ers..
Trump does not have a problem if they do.. if it is raised from 37 to 39%. ( on our richest.) includes him..
However, President Trump also said that the democrats, (have always wanted to raise taxes on the very rich,) would run around with their hair on fire yelling. Trump said he would never raise taxes..

Against progressive taxes

8% of the current income tax revenue goes to the military. And another 2% to corporate welfare. So I am unsure how you’ll have the govt pay for that with your proposal.

I am against taxation a.k.a. extortion altogether.
Let everyone decide how they want to spend their money.

"Studies have shown"
ANYONE can say that about anything

He should do it. I'd give it up as a positive thing he did

Is that what you've been told?

It should be for those making 5 million or more, per year.

Well moderates and left , yes, especially since our debt is out of control

That’s all well and good, but how do. You propose lowering the national debt? Citing spending doesn’t work.,both parties have proven that.
