If you go out and murder the richest person who lives in your town, and inspire one person to do the same, you will have done more to make the American economy work for everyone than any Republican in history and honestly most Democrats.

Crimson avatars in a nutshell.

You know the reason GOP kept the individual rates temporary is that it allows them to pass it with 50 votes , and then even when the Democrats win there is no way Dems will let them expire , so they basically made the tax reform permanent with just 50 votes.

Not necessarily. I don't get why this idea is being pushed so hard. Look at the Children's Health Insurance Program, which at face value seems like a much harder thing to allow to expire, yet Republicans have basically done just that. Whether the tax changes expire or not probably depends on how much power Republicans hold in Washington when that time comes. If they are in the minority and do not control the White House, it's easy to see the rates lapsing.

Most democrats would not let the tax cuts on the Middle Class Expire. Democrats from the Bernie Wing sure, but they are not taking over the party.

Wow, how simple. Nothing about grad student taxes and how these marginal benefits drop off in a short amount of time.


The Bush tax cuts also were supposed to expire and guess what they got made permanent. Since the republicans don't have 60 votes they have to make some part of the tax plan temporary,and there is no way a non Bernie style dem will allow those cuts to expire.

In their rush to pass this scam, the Senate GOP didn't realize they defacto repealed literally every corporate deduction: http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2017/12/senate-gop-accidentally-killed-all-corporate-tax-deductions.html

FF's. Closing loopholes is a good thing Smiley.
