Nope...

YouTube video

Skip to about 4 minutes in, the host asks the guy to name ONE loophole this is eliminating for corporations and he can't. Eventually he just flat out admits "the point is for corporations to pay less." This tax plan is a naked hand out to corporations and the Republican parties top donors. They don't care how unpopular it is (30% approval, lower even than Trumps), they're prepared to sell out the American people to their donors.

Little bit of sarcasm you dry mother phuckers

If Corp taxes go down by 14%, that's going to leave a hole that needs to be filled, as the government runs on money. The middle-class will be the ones to mostly refill that hole, likely along with the cutting back of social programs, medicare, medicaid, social security. Which is essentially stealing money, as people pay into [some of] those programs.

Wouldn't be surprised if we're in another recession/crash in 2-3 years, after the bill passes. #maga

Here's an idea... why not cut government spending? Why does this not cross the minds of people complaining about the deficit in Trump's tax plan? Stop pouring inordinate amounts of money into entitlement programs.

Edit: Not social security though since people have paid into it

Such as? The military? Or?

Bu-bu-but Repulicans are driving up the debt! People not wanting to cram money into entitlement programs are just a bunch of selfish rich pricks... right? I mean it's not like anything objectively bad could come out of this much government spending.

Tax is theft

The spending on the military is significantly less than the spending on social programs. You seem to be conflating discretionary spending with mandatory spending. You have to take an aggregate of the two to find the total fiscal bill.

But, what we are also forgetting is the fiscal gap created by social programs. To ascertain this fiscal gap, we must simply look to the work done by Laurence Kotlikoff. The fiscal gap is $210 trillion according to Congressional Budget Office's July 2014 Alternative Fiscal Scenario extended on an infinite horizon. This method is endorsed by 17 Nobel Laureates in economics and over 1200 Ph.D. economists from MIT, Harvard, Stanford, Chicago, Berkeley, Yale, Columbia, Penn, and lesser known universities and colleges around the country. Medicare, Medicaid, and social security are going to continue racking up debt every year.

I considering healthcare and social security "mandatory spending", cos people need to live and they're entitled to their own money.

Tell me again how you're a Democrat?

What exactly do you consider an "entitlement program"?

Maybe this post from another thread will clarify things:

Vote in 2016: I voted for Clinton... I regret that after realizing how awful she was. If I could go back in time I wouldn't have voted for either since my vote as a Texan didn't really do anything, and both suck.

Social Security and Mediacare are paid into, they're part of the safety net for seniors.

Medicaid and Welfare are social programs funded by our tax dollars in general, some state and some Fed. These do need overalls for sure, imo.
