GOPs pitch Fantasy Tax Plans

[hazlnut]

The Republican Tax Plans Are All Basically Insane

Republicans on debate night are all promising to slash taxes and unleash economic growth. Many of them, of course, haven't actually presented a specific tax plan. But those who have are peddling economic fantasies. Even the conservative Tax Foundation believes these plans would balloon the national debt.

Donald Trump's plan would cost over $10 trillion.

Bobby Jindal's plan would cost $9 trillion.

Rick Santorum's would cost $1.1 trillion.

Jeb Bush's plan? $1.6 trillion.

Marco Rubio? More than $1 trillion over the next decade.

One exception: The Tax Foundation says Rand Paul's tax plan would save the government $737 billion. But other tax experts are far less sanguine. Citizens for Tax Justice estimates that Paul's plan would cost $15 trillion. Much of the difference is due to less optimistic assumptions about economic growth. The Tax Foundation assumes that tax cuts benefitting Wall Street and the wealthy will generate very high levels of growth. Citizens for Tax Justice does not.

Please stop calling these Insane Clowns the party of fiscal responsibility.

They suck at math.

I liked when Fiorina said she would cut the tax code from 70,000 pages to 3, and someone asked her "how? Will you use really tiny print?"

I forget who asked that but it was hilarious.

All those trillions are in taxpayer pockets. Everyone's taxes needs to be lowered significantly. Our govt has been pissing away our money for decades on worthless shit. Its time they do without for a while.

As usual, progressives consider all wealth and income to belong to the government, to be given back to us peasants as they see fit. Thus any changes to revenue is "cost"

But of course, that's what their leftwing sites and their Party feeds them. it's unbelievable to me they actually worry over WE THE PEOPLE getting more of our money back because they can't figure out that cutting out some of this government might be an answer. it's sickening to me.

You are telling me the economy didn't start going up after Bushs tax cuts?
You do realize only around 48% of the dot coms survived that, right?

Yes I'm saying it did very little for the economy. It added to the debt. You are foolish if you think cuts now wouldn't just add to the debt.

Just cuts perhaps. But you have to look at the BIG PICTURE.
The Bush Economy
If those cuts were coupled with spending cuts, it could have created revenue.. Also, Jr did have ALOT of shit going on.
I don't like Bush. I think he is incompetent. But the fact remains..
