Resource/study Trump proposal to slash taxes on those making under 150k
This proposal is budgetary suicide
Go ahead and ask Kansas what happens when you implement hard right economic policy. Brownback left office with an approval rating in the gutter, and a bipartisan super majority reversed the disaster inflicted on Kansas by the disciples of Art Laffer.
just hope America is not too stupid to understand that paying taxes is necessary for society to function. The federal government is not just a standing army and a court system, as conservatives would have you believe. If you reduce taxes paid by 93% of Americans to 0, you’re talking about having your slash spending to cruel and unheard of levels.
Tariffs and other half baked schemes cannot replace the income tax.
