Sherrod Brown says he might support Trump tax plan

[Attorney General, Senator-Elect, & Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Gotta love "60+ GOP Seats" and Rino Tom making the thread a debate over who qualifies as a republican, when that has nothing to do with the topic title .

Anyways this doesn't mean much. Everyone wants tax reform that is revenue-neutral, benefits working families, and keeps corporations in the U.S. . But it's clear that while the Trump Tax Plan might meet the last of those goals - keeping Corporations in the U.S. - it's not going to meet the other two. The framework adds $1.5 Trillion to the deficit, and will almost entirely benefit the rich, while the middle class and the poor will either break even or see a tax increase. What Sherrod Brown is saying is that he'd vote for a fundamentally different tax plan from the framework - and so would I - but we're not getting that plan.

Over 10 years which comes up to 150 billion a year.


-You can easily make up for that by doing across the board spending cuts(including defense spending too)

Whether it's 100 billion or 1 Trillion, it's not revenue-neutral. On spending, I appreciate that you are willing to acknowledge that defense spending needs to be cut, but unfortunately the republican party in Congress remains in a complete and total love affair with the military.
