Trump pitches tax reform to 'bring back Main Street'...Bwahahahahaaaa

[spanone]

Tax cuts for the rich, folks, that's what he's talking about.

(CNN)President Donald Trump on Wednesday delivered his opening pitch on tax reform, framing the effort in populist terms by saying Republican plans to overhaul the tax code would be a boon for lower- and middle-class Americans.

"We're here today to launch our plans to bring back Main Street by reducing the crumbling burden on our companies and on our workers," Trump said in Springfield, Missouri. "The foundation of our job creation agenda is to fundamentally reform our tax code for the first time in more than 30 years."

Trump's pitch leaned heavily on the economic benefits tax reform could deliver and aimed to get ahead of Democratic arguments that Trump's tax reform plans would overwhelmingly benefit the wealthiest Americans, as independent tax experts have estimated.

1. A considerate president, administration and party would

at least wait a week or so before talking about this. Shows how inhuman to the present disaster is to them.

2. We need a Walmart on every main street...

Oh wait, there already is one, next to all the closed down local stores.

3. What? "A crumbling burden on our companies"???

4. He must not have noticed

Our main street has redefined itself with specialty shops, nightclubs, and restaurants. I am not sure how tax reform is going to impact them.

5. So, Trumps tax cuts will benefit me more than him?

Right.
And I have some waterfront property in Houston to sell you.

6. Given the billions and billions of dollars it will take to restore the Houston area,

he should be talking about raising taxes.

8. I caught part of that and I had the very same thought

Our citizens are drowning and he's already moved on to his self serving agenda.

7. What we need is tax increases on the rich

Simple as that. Until we do we're fucked

9. I am not an economic type person at all!

My husband works in a plastic manufacturing plant (they make the parts for cool whip in a can! and that foam insulation). I asked my husband "If your employer got a tax cut, would they hire more people?" and he said "NO!". They would hire more people IF MORE PEOPLE are buying cool whip in a can!

There are plenty of empty stores around my next of the woods, yes, even on our small main street. These fill up with businesses when PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY have money to spend. They are not empty because of local or state taxes!

Even I can figure this out!

(excuse me for shouting, but this really pisses me off!)
