The Ryan Tax Plan
This one is really a beauty. Trump promised tax reform and the Republicans have always advocated this. So no surprise Republican maverick President and wave election majority Republican House and Senate are going for it. In comes Speaker Ryan with a plan
Cutting taxes increases wealth and at the end of the day increases tax base through a more affluent consumer who the spends the money. This mantra once known as trickle down economics drawn up on a cocktail napkin has been the love child of Republicans since Reagan.
No real surprise it is back. There have been the detractors that claim with statistics the it often helps the more wealthy and not so much the middle and lower classes. Others claim proof it works
Well alternate facts be damned as this time the veil is off. With tax reform is a 20% border tax across the board. Let me repeat that not a .002 percent not a .02 percent but a whopping point two.
Given our current trade deficit which will not change overnight we are supposed to accept as consumer. A 20% increase on ALL imported goods. Of course we the consumer will pay for this.
I am no economist however how is this even being entertained? Paul Ryan is asking Senators to keep their powder dry. What the fuck is that supposed to mean anyway? Of course they should keep it dry to shoot down this stupid idea.
Anyway you slice this border tax it is consumed by the public in a revolting way. When I say revolting I mean it. This is not Government for the people nor is it by the people This is a big fuck you to the people.
Mr Ryans way of giving us a break is to give us some change for our pocket while they take dollars from our wallets. What happened to Conservatives? The Republicans shield themselves in this cloak but real Conservatives seem a thing of the past. No Conservative would propose such a deal.
20 flipping percent? Fuck me, get your head out of your ass and your hands out of my wallet if you would Speaker Ryan
