    I have to say this tax transfer (not cut) is looking like a pile of shit so far. These republicans keep pushing the story that is what the base wants or they will be pushed out of office. They push this as it is and they and trump will probably get driven out office.

  2. President Bush saying the debts will paid off in 10 years, Bush tax cuts failed miserably and now the same nonsense is being said. Just take the tax money and pay off ALL the foreign debt, geez.

    Secret GOP tax negotiations mark the start this year's Corporate Hunger Games, each special interest fighting for their own specific break. Can we offer up the Koch Brothers as tribute...

    GOP tax reveal to set off 'corporate hunger games'
    http://money.cnn.com/2017/10/29/investing/stocks-week-ahead-tax-bill-jobs-report/index.html

    President Trump's push to overhaul the U.S. tax system is about to face its biggest test yet.

    Up until this point, the GOP tax "plan" has been limited to a broad, mostly detail-free framework of ideas that many lawmakers and business groups could get behind. But come Wednesday, it will be all about the details when House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady promises to unveil his 1,000-page tax reform bill.

    And it's those critical details in the bill that could make or break the legislation. At issue: How will Brady propose to pay for the big business tax cuts Republicans have promised? Lawmakers, businesses and lobbyists will fight tooth and nail to preserve tax breaks they covet.

    "Expect them to push back as if this was a life-or-death struggle because for many, it is," Chris Krueger, managing director of the Cowen Washington Research Group, wrote in a recent report. "Welcome to the corporate hunger game."

    The official path to modernize America's outdated tax system was created when the House narrowly (216-212) passed a budget this week that includes instructions to fast-track a tax reform bill that allows for $1.5 trillion worth of tax cuts over 10 years.

    Temporarily and not dramatically


    Tax receipts from 1990 to 2000 (Under Clinton ) went up 10 years in a row and were double in 2000 than they were in 1990.
    • FY 2000 - $2.03 trillion.
    • FY 1999 - $1.82 trillion.
    • FY 1998 - $1.72 trillion.
    • FY 1997 - $1.58 trillion.
    • FY 1996 - $1.45 trillion.
    • FY 1995 - $1.35 trillion.
    • FY 1994 - $1.26 trillion.
    • FY 1993 - $1.15 trillion.
    • FY 1992 - $1.09 trillion.
    • FY 1991 - $1.05 trillion.
    • FY 1990 - $1.03 trillion.


    After the first bush tax cuts in 2001 tax receipts were lower than 2000 levels until 2005 then went up 3 years and then crashed back down to near 2000 levels in 2009 and 2010

    • FY 2010 - $2.16 trillion.
    • FY 2009- $2.1 trillion.
    • FY 2008 - $2.52 trillion.
    • FY 2007 - $2.57 trillion.
    • FY 2006 - $2.4 trillion.
    • FY 2005 - $2.15 trillion.
    • FY 2004 - $1.88 trillion.
    • FY 2003 - $1.72 trillion.
    • FY 2002 - $1.85 trillion.
    • FY 2001 - $1.99 trilion.
    • FY 2000 - $2.03 trillion

    the second tax cuts were the ones that rolled out big cuts quickly..
    and revenues went up dramatically within 2 years.

    and don't forget tax revenues went down because the internet bubble popped and we had 911 just as bush took office.

    these idiot republicans are apparently seeking to get rid of the mortgage deduction.
    That is one way to make sure Trump is not re elected.

    I understand the theory and it would be good in the long run... but it should come with a 20 year warning before it phases it or it could cause the real estate market to collapse again.

    If they do get rid of the mortgage tax deduction I will probably make a ton of money again so I am not just talking my book.
