this tax plan crap is just creative financing that makes us all poorer but rich get richer , sounds like dirty politics. There must be some good points to this tax plan no? or are you just focusing on the negatives

I'd like to choose not to pay taxes also.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

My take on it is the main thrust is to get the "economy" booming. One of the reasons the "middle class" is disappearing is because the economy is not vibrant enough to expand and provide the capital to create the jobs needed to support a healthy "middle class." If that doesn't happen, then not only will various tax breaks expire, so will the Republican hold on their majorities. And the Dems will then reinstitute their economically sluggish tax policies. But they will accompany that with enough giveaways and "supports" for "families" and for the shrinking "middle class" (which will all, obviously, be the fault of the Republicans).

And the debt spiral will continue to grow. But that's OK. At least everyone will be paying their "fair share."

So do you want a large enough private sector economy to support the growth in size of peoples wallets? Or do you prefer that the government fill our wallets.

And don't give me that crap about government filling the wallets of corporations by not taxing them. Government does not generate the money that businesses do. Government doesn't fill up wallets. It empties them. Taking less taxes does not fill any wallets, it drains them less. We've had several years of government taking a higher level of business taxes, and, magically, the "middle class" is supposedly disappearing.

Right ... the answer is to take even more out of business wallets. That will obviously drive a "middle class" comeback.

And, naturally, the big businesses will continue to donate to the party in power in order to somehow, nearly always get things working in their favor. Like getting more regulations passed that benefit them against their competitors.

Big is in. Middle just can't compete with the big government big business complex. And little gets mollified with "breaks" and giveaways from government.

And the national debt spiral will continue to grow.
