"We've done more than anybody in three years," says Trump. "We are going to be doing a middle-class tax cut, a very big one. We'll be doing that. We'll be announcing that over the next 90 days."


Trump says tax cuts, health care and trade deals are ahead | Fox Business


According to Maria Bartiromo on Fox news in a follow up, Trump is looking to cut back the tax rates for those in the 24 - 28% bracket down to 15% as well as make the previous middle class tax cuts permanent.

Does this mean you're opposed to middle class tax cuts?
 
Deficits don't matter...

I wonder what you consider candidates who offer free college, free healthcare and $1,000/month universal income?

If a tax system can be designed to support it, then ... :shrug:

If they just come up with the ideas in the midst of a campaign, yes, they too would be guilty. I have never been a supporter of Andrew Yangs giveaway idea.

However, some people have been for universal health care even when it is not in a campaign year.

Remove the tax cuts fort the billionaires and give it to the middle class, who actually. BUt this is such an obvious ploy to buy votes, like the farmers bailout after his failed trade war screwed them. That's what republicans do, buy votes

And of course, selfish conservatives don't give a ****, hey, give me a few bucks, who cares about he deficit, who cares that biliionaires got even more breaks, who cares that food stamps and other assistance is being cut, who cares that the bilionaires are pocketing that money while their workers barely getting by.

But hey conservatives, keep sucking corporate dick while the country burns and goes broke nd you stupidly blame liberals and whatever scapegoat the rich throw at you. Doesn't matter, as long as conservatives get theirs, the greedy ****s don't care about anybody else

Oh.


So bribes by politicians is alright depending on the timing.



Seems a bit goofy but if that's what you believe,...........
 
This is nothing but pure fiscal irresponsibility and bad politics. It's one of trump's two cards to pull out for a political boost, just as he promised a middle class tax cut before the 2018 elections then abandoned it (the other is military action, i.e. wag the dog).

It's trump caring zero about the debt and trying to buy votes and support. If we were going to have a middle class tax cut, it should be done with tax increases on the rich who have gotten so many cuts, to not add to the debt. Anyone want to guess how the amount of these cuts, if there are any, will compare to the tax cuts for the rich passed as the #1 priority?

Odd how neither you nor the majority of liberals worry about deficits or the country "going broke" when it comes to your free everything initiatives even thought the cost of those plans would be exponentially more.
 
BUt this is such an obvious ploy to buy votes, dy else
Pandering for votes. Those Democrats better lock up their playbook. Looks like Trump is stealing it!!

I'm pretty sure millions of middle class tax payers would disagree this is bad politics.


Of course, you're free to support the Democrat candidates and their more taxes plans and see whom voters support.

Don't be so negative.

The unemployment rate is at historic lows, the stock market is up, wages are up, and we're making America great again. Would a simple "thank you" be too much to ask?
 
And then right wing assholes will come for SS, Medicare, and our pensions as "unsustainable." Keep your short term bribe, Punkinhead.

This seems like a ploy to force the House demorats to deny the "bribe" of reduced federal middle class taxation. It will be interesting to see how Trump plans to "pay for" these (proposed?) tax rate cuts. I suppose that if $1T annual deficits are OK then $1.5T annual deficits are not that much worse - MAGA indeed. ;)

Won't be the first time Trump was a thief. See: Trump University/lawsuit.

Like Trump worries about deficits and such things. Under Trump...

The largest US debt in history

The largest US deficit in history.

The largest US trade deficit in history.

The largest US wealth inequality in history.

But now, you want to cast yourself as a fiscal conservative. Give us a break.

Better than left wing assholes who are coming after our hard earned money to pay for their 'everyone farts unicorns Utopian wet dreams'.
 
Best con man ever.
 
Trumps ploy here is nothing more than a transparent bribe. What he is best at.
