"SNIP............


President Donald Trump's fall push for the Republican tax-reform effort kicks off Wednesday in Springfield, Missouri. And according to Ben White and Tara Palmeri at Politico, Trump's message will paint the tax policy as a populist change aimed at "unrigging the economy."

The Trump administration has said for months that it will aim to bring down taxes for all while closing loopholes, but Trump's speech is expected to have a decidedly populist tone.

The speech, crafted by Trump aide Stephen Miller, will feature phrases like "win again" and promises to "jump-start" the American economy, Politico reported.

The speech will reportedly be light on policy details. That seems to be, in part, because there are few concrete details to present at this point.

1. ...

DRain swamp by putting in the richest most corrupt humans alive

2. Fuck you, you disgusting orange shitgibbon!

3. Fair and enforced payment of taxes is needed now more than ever. Democrats should insist on this.

The country is going the way of Russia in the 80's, wealth stolen, government robbed, oligarchs thriving, interior falling apart, an oblivious alcoholic and drug addicted populace. If we do not get rid of Trump soon, it will be too late. If he goes, it will be much easier to get rid of the GOP Congress. I think they know this and that is why they keep supporting him.

6. That was the 90s

After the Soviet Union everything was sold out to private businesses and the newly politicians used their position to enrich themselves while crime, poverty, and corruption went up.

4. Why are Democratic lawmakers letting so much of his false narrative get through?

We elected Democrats to stand up for the 99%. Where is the chorus of voices that we should be hearing in the media day after day after day until this Trump nightmare is over.

5. 'Unrigging' sounds like they will limit the mortgage interest deduction

I hope so.

IMO: Tax policy has skewed the housing market, greatly reducing low and moderate priced home.

From what I've read the limit would be ONLY
Being allowed to deduct $500,000

That's deducting $41,666 a month in interest

7. His tax plan isn't really popular with GOP congress people

I think he's talking to wind at this point. No one expects these ideas to all pass. He hasn't even written a bill on this. He's really pitching only an index card worth of policy and not an actual tax plan. Thus, the real tax plan will come from congress and will be vastly different. It might get tied to the debt ceiling debate.

8. with his record more like "unhinging the economy". nt
