How would you vote on each of Reagan's two tax cuts

[Intell]

Why do so many people vote no on 1986? It was a revenue neutral tax reform plan that passed with broad bipartisan support.


But I would easily vote yes on both.

Cause the far left believes that all tax cuts are bad and the only good changes to tax laws is if you increase taxes.

That would be correct, especially if it's for the rich.

Reagan cut taxes on upper middle class people too massively just not the rich , so do you think engineers, accountants who make between 90 k - 110k should have their taxes go up as well  

That would be correct. Also 90-110 k, at that time, would be on the high ends of the upper-middle class, probably top 15% in terms of income.

In America, most peoples taxes are too low(Exception: the corporate tax needs to be lowered to 23% or so to keep up with the rest of the world).

You talk about tax increases like republicans talk about tax cuts.

[Kingpoleon]

Yes on 1981, No on 1986.

This; accidentally voted No on both.

[Maxwell]

I mean if I could take the rate cuts in the first bill and the closure of loopholes in the second bill I would be pretty overwhelmingly in favor of that bill.

[Person Man]

Yes on 1981, No on 1986.

I would vote Yea on the 86 one if it was mainly for 10%ers and below instead of 1%ers. Its crazy that me or my immediate senior would have to pay the same portion  as the most senior guy at the plant!

[RINO Tom]

Yes for both

i'm inclined to agree with this by now

[OSR stands with Israel]

Intell why do you think Engineers , Accountants , and Doctors should have their taxes raised.

[🕴🏼Melior🕴🏼]

Yes on 1981, No on 1986.

You're making ia distinction between these jobs, not the fact, that these people should pay higher taxation, for an expanded welfare state, and social equity, because of their upper-middle class background, and higher incomes.

Didn't the 1981 tax cuts have to be partially reversed later on because they were too excessive?  Why all the support for the 1981?  The deficit blew up over the 1980s, which lead to the panic over the debt in the early 90s.  Was 1981 tax cuts really fiscally responsible or were they just a giveaway to wealthy special interests and the upper class?

1981 tax cut was a 25 percent tax cut on everyone

Heck no to raising taxes on upper middle class people . If you want to spend more money on welfare cut other spending don't raise our taxes

Your taxes should get raised, and I do not care for the tears of greed of upper-middle class people in trying to prevent such increases.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Yes to both, of course.

yes, they wound up imposing a bunch of tax hikes in 1982 and 1984. and not just cutting back breaks or loop holes, also hikes in gas tax and certain goods.
