Hillary/Trump Tax Plans
- Thread starter Clinton Scott
- Start date
No problem...if you read it, you'll see just how foolish Trump is. His plan would add more than 11 trillion dollars in debt.
Ever hear of Peter Peterson? You might check him out before you put much stock in what the CRFB says.
I love how they promote themselves as non-partisan.
I don't trust their numbers at all but even if they are close they are basing everything on current rates of economic growth, which has been awful for Obama's full term. If Trump even comes close to doing what he says he can with economic growth his numbers look a hell of a lot better than Hillary's.

I admit I know very little about all of this, but did Bush not increase tax revenue by cutting taxes?
In general, from the Bush tax cuts income tax levels remained unchanged. There was an economic stimulus package and a lowered rate on qualified retirement plans. Obama has pretty much extended these plans, as he was a senator who worked closely with Tom Coburn and the Office of Management and Budget.
Hillary would basically extend the status quo, which could be adjusted to get on track to a balanced budget, hopefully. Would be difficult but certainly not impossible.
Trump would increase the debt 40 times the status quo, and then we would have no hope - for anything.

You must of went to the Paul Krugman school of fake economics.
The only thing that couldn't grow by lowering taxes is government.
How would expect him to pay for national defense, or social security, or Medicare, or infrastructure, etc.? Just wave his wagon wand and poof it appears.
Its not, but at least sustainable and gives us flexibility to make changes in the future. Trump would demolish us.
Instead of over taxing and regulating Trump will prioritize and budget. Something the government incompetents know nothing about. They tax more or borrow more.
It's a stupid way to operate but for some reason libs like it that way.

The point is, as a nation, we need to come close to selling 32,000 ice cream bars.
Otherwise fixed and variable costs, when compared to revenue, is too great.

How you see him offsetting the lost revenue from the largest tax cut for the highest tax bracket in history?
Or, novel idea, we stop producing the more costly ice cream bars.
But even still, if we sell a shitload more ice cream bars, we could even lower the cost per ice cream bar and still come out ahead
Maybe ice cream bar production just isn't our competitive advantage.
We should relinquish the ice cream bar Market and get into peanut butter cups.

Economic expansion. Grow the economy grow the tax revenue.
Obviously Trump will have to perform or it won't work and he will be rightfully fired. I know that's a novel idea for libs, firing an incompetent President.
Do you honestly believe he has ANY ambition to make life better for the working middle class? Cuz I'll tell ya right now, cutting taxes for the rich by unprecedented levels sounds awfully f'ing contradictory to that end.
I know that's a novel idea for conservatives, but trickle-down philosophy doesn't work.
Have you spent much time on the border in our factories in Mexico? I have and if they want to keep that manufacturing they will pony up.
If the corporate elite had it their way, there wouldn't be anything made in America. You think Donald Trump's gonna do anything to penalize corporations for outsourcing?
That's not how we grow our own economy.
Come on, how does Apple hiding billions of potential tax dollars overseas help our economy. I dont know much but I have ~15 years of manufacturing and distribution experience. There is no way you can convince me on that argument.
