If you are single and earn less than $25,000, or married and jointly earn less than $50,000, you will not owe any income tax. That removes nearly 75 million households – over 50% – from the income tax rolls. They get a new one page form to send the IRS saying, “I win,” those who would otherwise owe income taxes will save an average of nearly $1,000 each
Yeah, Those households are barely taxed or not taxed at all already. This is why the media is only reporting that trump's tax breaks are cuts for the rich and not for the lower class--because you can't reduce a 0% tax rate.
Oh and they autistically mention how much it will reduce tax income as though government spending won't be reduced, and as though his plan won't increase sales tax revenue and possibly even corporate tax revenue depending on how many companies remain/move back/move in.

Its already like this for over low income households. Its always been like this.
How could low income makers be expected to pay a tax on thier non existent income?

>Poor pay no tax >Trickle down wat
Colton Morales
Except that's fucking wrong. The tax bracket is a minimum of 10%. Poor households still pay taxes, they just don't owe anymore or get a partial refund at the end of the year. So this plan does in fact learn the tax burden on the poor.
Jayden Reed
Erm, what?
Have you never had a job you stupid little piece of shit?
Or do you live in a state that already has no income tax, and are too stupid to realize that tax laws vary state to state?

Someone actually give me a legitimate, non-meme answer to this. If Trump's going to cut taxes all across the board, including for the rich (who pay the largest share of taxes anyway), how is he going to pay for everything? He's going to build a wall and put even more money into the military budget, yet he's going to cut taxes at the same time?
Is he basically going to run up the debt even more because he can?
Nicholas Ortiz
Based on his written statements and speeches, I developed the impression he was going full Uncle Milt Friedman on all income taxes, to include payroll and cap. gains. End the exemptions, lower the rates.
If that's what Congress permits him to do, most people will get tax relief, and the wealthy, despite also enjoying lower rates, will nevertheless face higher burdens, with the end of the carried interest rule as well as the end of preferential tax treatment for speakers' fees, cap. gains, and so on.
This was one of the big reasons I voted for him; it effectively leaves the overall ratio of tax/GDP the same, but redistributes the tax burden upward.
It's going to be a very difficult battle for him, because most taxpayers don't understand the tax code or how the budget is financed. In fact, neither do most policymakers.
Here's a good example of someone who doesn't understand that tax code. He doesn't understand that the payroll tax finances over a third of the federal budget, and it is an income tax; it's just not called an income tax. He also doesn't understand that no income over 200K is exposed to the payroll tax. So we have a situation where only the bottom 75% of taxpayers have to finance 100% of the non-discretionary budget (Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid), but because it's called FICA and not income tax, he thinks these people are getting a free ride, when many of them are losing about 12% of their income on just this one outlay.

Aaron Campbell

Camden Hughes
Money will be spend on goods and services rather than sent directly to government. Economy benefits and a sizable chunk of what would have been sent as income tax is instead collected as sales tax, among other things.
Trump also plans to make up for the lost income tax revenue by eliminating some wasteful government spending.
Returns on corporate income tax are going to be seen long term and won't be attributed to trump if they work out. Rather than continuing to tax companies at double the euro average (around 40% currently) by lowering it to 15% companies will have less motivation to move their HQs overseas (so we get 15% of some earnings rather than 40% of $0 we'd be able to tax if they relocate). It also encourages companies to move into the USA and makes US companies more appealing to investors. It also lets companies spend more of their revenue on wages, infrastructure and expansion, etc.
This could very well end up a negative from a total government tax revenue perspective, but it certainly gives more freedom to consumers and businesses.

Take a lower percent, increase amount collected from. More companies here, more people with jobs, more taxes collected, even if it's less on an individual level.

Am I completely wrong? On paper it sounds amazing for low income losers like me, I made 18k last year and got taxed like 25% of my income and only made $900 back, would have made $200 after ACA but I got an exemption on that.
However on a bigger scale it just seems like a terrible idea all around

He is also going to massively cut spending for programs that have no practical value. Lowering tax rates can increase tax revenue by opening the market to more participants.
Robert Richardson
it's not a terrible idea, people getting more money incentivates the economy, all he has to do is cut federal spending in certain areas like illigal fundings so the state doesnt go broke

Hence my last sentence. Wasteful spending isn't going to be a significant relief but every little bit counts. Lots will be in departments that enforce regulations that are detrimental to the economy anyway.
Getting the fuck out of the proxy war with russia that obama got caught up in is certainly going to save us billions.

The fundamental issue with criticism of Trump's tax plan is that they use the assumption that the wealthy pay 100% of their designated bracket. The tax code is so overcomplicated that super wealthy pay a fraction of what they're supposed to. Trump's simplified plan eliminates a lot of that shit and in many cases the top bracket is going to be paying more taxes than they currently pay.
Jason Baker
i think the GOP owes him a bunch of seats in congress and the senate, they will acept it since they defend a minimalistical governament, and democrats will go whit it since it favour poor people
Good post user, have a smug reaction face for your own keeping.
Ryder Thompson
I've known some people who make good cash, like 400k a year, and they're taxed pretty stiffly. But maybe that's just because they file them legitimately like some kind of retard instead of circumventing them like everyone else that's rich
Kayden Wood
income tax goes directly to Jewish bankers, the us government spends none of it
Camden Campbell
that highest tax bracket affects hundreds of thousands of middle class americans who are far from being rich. and that is what our tax code is all about, keeping poor people from joining the middle class and forcing more people from the middle class into poverty.

If Trump made a billion dollars this year and had to pay 5% taxes while Joe Blow made 50 grand and paid 30% taxes Trumps tax would still be a larger sum of money paid than Joe Blows.

"I win" isn't really the best message to be sending to poor people who aren't pulling their weight but I think it's a good thing for them not to be paying taxes.
I just wish we had a society that shamed people for being poor and not paying taxes. Jews like to to push the "Do not be ashamed" narrative which just encourages people into being proud of their freeloading asses.
John Gomez

That's probably on the low end. Medicare and SS are 15% of your income, federal is 10% and state is 5-8%, even at the lowest brackets. There's a standard deduction, but that doesn't significantly reduce your tax liability as a percentage of your income.

Payless is for shoes dude, and you fabricated a hypothetical situation, with a decent counter-argument.
Would you let a person without a drivers license drive you around?
It's kinda the same situation. Blindly trusting a president just because he's president does not make for good policy.
All I'm saying, is we need to know how he handles his own taxes before we let him handle the taxes of the whole country.
But he's already president, and that's never going to happen.

>All I'm saying, is we need to know how he handles his own taxes before we let him handle the taxes of the whole country.
I can respect this view even if I don't fully agree with it. I'd say very few presidents ever handled their own taxes. Maybe Obama since he wasn't always wealthy but most don't.
