I did not call the proposed tax cuts "Trump tax cuts" because they are not his idea. These huge tax cuts are a boon for the wealthy and seem to be a simple pay-back for campaign contributions that the wealthy have been giving them for a decade or more.
That said. Without repeating Fox News talking points such as the absolutely untrue"the US has the highest taxes in the world" what specifically do its supporters here on POFO expect to gain personally from the cuts?
What will the cuts fix that is currently wrong? We are near full employment, the stock market is at an all-time high and growing, our currency is the world's reserve currency and we are attracting investment from throughout the world.
The first version shows a raise in taxes on the lowest earners and a deficit increase of nearly a trillion dollars a year. This makes the democrats meme "tax and spend" look like fiscal conservatism. Further these cuts will completely eliminate the possibility of infrastructure improvements in any meaningful way.
So my question for conservatives is this. What exactly do YOU expect to gain from these? (If you are in the top 2% of earners the answer is obvious.
