The only reason I switched my vote to Trump from Hillary was the tax plan. I don't care who pays more or less. All I care about is if I get to keep more of my money instead of giving it to the government
Seth is STILL amazed?
A single filer who makes the average US median salary will pay 19.1% more taxes under the current plan than Trump's plan (see above)
Good for you. You'll use it much better than the government.
lol and now it's Democrats using the deficits talking point.
Why did Republicans stop talking about it?
The guy who ran it it up at record rates isn't in office anymore?
Seeing as Republicans controlled most of the budget process for most of that time, no.
Are the Republicans now lowering the debt since they are in control of all branches of government and they said it had to be done?
it will be lower then when trump got in when he leaves after 8 years
If his budget goes as planned, his government spending cuts will lower it.
Hypothetically, speaking.
How much would the debt be lowered? I'd love to see a link to the numbers he presented.
$3.6 trillion per May reports from when he proposed it.
Fetch your own link, I'm not doing your homework for you. /you.
you are a lazy s.o.b.
The only thing I see is that it balances the budget by 2027 -- meaning it will only increase the debt in the meantime.
Straws.
What? Use your words.
Because they won
Why did Democrats start talking about it?
Betsy DeVos Says She Did Math on Trump’s Tax Plan and It Will Save Nation Eleventy Krillion
WASHINGTON — In a ringing endorsement from the Secretary of Education, Betsy DeVos said on Thursday that she did the math on Donald Trump’s tax plan and that she estimates it will save the United States roughly eleventy krillion dollars.
“I took out a pencil and paper and figured it out the old-fashioned way,” DeVos told reporters. “I wound up going through a lot of paper, because eleventy krillion has ten hundredteen zeroes.”
DeVos stressed that the eleventy-krillion figure was actually a conservative estimate. “The exact number was between eleventy and ninety-quelve, but I rounded down to eleventy,” she said.
The Education Secretary said that the national debt, which currently stands at more than twenty trillion dollars, would be greatly reduced by the eleventy-krillion-dollar windfall.
“If you subtract eleventy krillion from twenty trillion, you get a number so small it has no name,” she explained.

Trump lies: His “family farmer” who “fears the inheritance tax” is Monsanto’s biggest seed-corn grower
Kip Tom’s Monsanto connection
As for Kip Tom: That 187-year-old farm was a lot smaller when he inherited it from his parents. Two hundred acres. It’s a far cry from that now.
Today Tom, is on the Trump advisory committee on agriculture, was apparently considered briefly for secretary of the Agriculture Department, and is CEO of Tom Farms LLC.
That operation, according to Politico, makes his farm the largest in Indiana, and one of the largest in the nation, with 20,000 acres spread over seven counties. Tom also operates farms in Latin America.
In 2013, he told an interviewer for Indianapolis Monthly that his Indiana operation pays out some $10 million a year just on new equipment:
Tom Farms is also one of the top seed-corn producers for global agri-giant Monsanto.
Raising the genetically modified crop requires tightly controlled in-field pollination, plus logistical know-how that only operations like Tom’s can provide.
Making sure each plant is properly detasseled takes two passes by specialized machines, plus a final “rogueing” step, whereby
700 orange-hat–wearing migrant workers from Latin America and Cambodia walk every row of about 5,000 acres and
remove any remaining tassels by hand.
In other words, not anywhere close to a shoestring operation.
If he died this year, his extensive holdings in Indiana would be one of about 50 to 80 family owned farms and small businesses in the whole nation that would owe any estate tax.
The Tax Policy Center estimates that the inheritors of such operations average a tax bill of just 6 percent of the farm or business’s value.

Because the Republicans stopped. If it isn't important to Republicans, why pretend?
Silicon Valley companies may put themselves at odds with President Donald Trump when it comes to social issues like climate change or immigration, but on taxes, the heads of tech companies have been working diligently with the administration to help shape tax reform policies, Politico reported Saturday.
