Those earning $750,000 a year up.
The tax 'plan' is the biggest joke in modern day economic politics worldwide.
The entire thing consisting of two paragraphs and ten bullet points !
Still so clueless they think that if you offer the richest (which, incidentally, they're also calling the 'Job Creators')the biggest possible tax cut, that in turn leads the richest to create more jobs.........NO evidence exists that proves this to be the case !

@Mandalorian In all my 53 years i don't think i've ever seen such a flimsy idea from any sitting President proposed as actual U.S. fiscal policy. Really is quite sad because it shows no ideas.
@Picklebobble2 It is downright blatant social engineering from my viewpoint...and yet he can do no wrong with his supporters. That to me also is a very strange and dangerous phenomenon!

@Mandalorian And that 'swamp' gets ever bigger !
@Picklebobble2 It's bigger than Florida now!

@Mandalorian Actually Florida may prove interesting to watch, thinking about it.
If those at the lower end of this 'fiscal policy' see their pensions or earnings shrink as a result, fewer folk may be able to retire there !
Whether that's intentional or a 'side effect' of this policy.....will be interesting to see !

@Picklebobble2 I think the ultimate result out of this will be a very long stretch in government for the Dems. People are going to get upset when the true meaning of all this hits home

@Mandalorian Well, when times are tight, you expect tax rises. It's the only way governments can afford to look after the elderly; infirm and unemployed.
The fact that they completely ignored this social group is probably testament to the thinking that 'those who drain resources' have little to 'contribute' so are not 'worth' thinking about right now.
Which i guess is fine.....provided you can see an upturn in the economy in the immediate future and so make that group inclusive again.
But there's nothing in the data i've seen that would indicate there is likely to be any logical reason for an upturn. Certainly anytime soon.

@Mandalorian It is exactly that: social engineering. Trump got so many votes by hacking the electorate's brains, playing puppet master. By using specific types of verbal imagery and using specific phrases, he instilled a sense of direction and productivity into much of the electorate's minds. "We're going to build a wall, a huge wall." "Look at all the crowds." "ISIS are chopping off heads and putting people in cages." Those types of visual ques get locked into peoples' brains.
He's a master manipulator.
