I am a business woman and I have to spend money to make money. In my opinion, giving breaks to Americans so they have more to use to elevate their standard of living is preferable to spending money on creating extra burdens on tax payers and escalating an ongoing war. I have read the entire plan and although I will still pay 39.6 percent in taxes I am in favor of a simplified plan where everyone pays at least some taxes. Currently, it is people like myself who pays for your tax credits. The Pew Center’s analysis of IRS data showed that in 2014, people with an adjusted gross income, or AGI, above $250,000 paid 51.6% of all individual income taxes, even though they accounted for only 2.7% of all returns filed. These “wealthy” individuals paid an average tax rate (total taxes paid divided by cumulative AGI) of 25.7%. By contrast, while people with adjusted gross incomes below $50,000 filed 62% of all individual returns in 2014, they paid only 5.7% of total taxes collected at an average tax rate of 4.3% per person. With the new tax plan, you will make a fair and reasonable contribution to the fiscal soundness of America.
In regards to health care, I believe that this is a personal responsibility and each person is responsible for acquiring, paying, and maintaining their own. This encourages people to develop or maintain responsible life styles that promote health. There is a caveat, our elderly must be afforded health care and Social Security for the elderly must not be stolen again, as obama did when he signed ACA. American citizens who are unable to temporarily afford care, then it should once again be the state's laws and health system which provides them adequate care. This encourages individuals to actively look for employment as well as fosters individual responsibility for healthy lifestyles. Most people, at some point in their lives need a hand up.... but, I do not believe that hand outs is fundamentally good for our nation.
I do not care what your opinion of our President may be. You had an opportunity to v**e, if you are not ineligible. I assume that you availed yourself of that responsibility. He was elected to the office, and even if you do not like him..the office of the President demands respect. He, as an American, is assured due process and that means he is presumed innocent until he is proven guilty. As yet, the mass media have not been empowered to pronounce a guilty or innocent decree. Indeed, it looks more and more as if k**lary may have, and still may be, working with Russia and thus far, there is zero evidence pointing to the President.
The next complaint you register against our president (which includes you, unless you are a citizen of another nation) is the accusations registered by some women. On another thread, I asked you how many of these women work(ed) for the DNC and where are they now? And in the end, even if he is the "scum of the earth" with his personal life, that does not imply that he can not be a good if not excellent president. Cases in point: Thomas Jefferson, Warren Hardening, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower, John Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, and impeached president for infidelity and sexual misconduct is William Clinton. These are the ones that are widely known to have had mistresses or paid playmates.
I hope that I addressed your pressing question, which I may add is unlike you who have yet to address mine.

You’re not paying my tax credits I was in business for 30 years with 165 employees. I paid plenty in taxes so don’t use that statement against me I understand the tax code, I understand the medical insurance system, I understand workman’s comp which is a disgrace. I understand collective bargaining, I understand the rights of a working man. I lived it for 30 years and plain and simply this country needs those laws and regulation to protect the working man.
Accusations against a president where the hell have you been for the last 8 years. Just like the respect that was afforded Obama are you really that much out of touch. Where were you with Clinton did you show either of those two respect. I respect the office of the president I don’t have to respect that piece of garbage that is a pathological liar that molested women. What you don’t understand is I am from the northeast. I was in the construction industry I have first hand knowledge of what that piece of garbage did to people so don’t ask me to respect that freak. He’s garbage and always has been.
Zero evidence pointing to Trump what the hell planet are you from.
Again you people don’t read legislation, you didn’t read the ACA because of the statement you made it’s everybodies responsibility to maintain there own health Insurance and you are right. But what about my son who earns well over 6 figures and his health Insurance got cancelled because he has an incurable kidney disease. He could not get insurance at any cost he paid his medical bills with a lot of help from me it was costing an average of $46,000 a year so don’t hand me this sanctimonious garbage it’s everybody responsibility of course it is. Is medical insurance a right or a privilege. What about the poor who can't afford Health insurance.
Why do you think you’re so much better than anybody else.
I study and read legislation. I have read that ACA cover to cover it was my sons life and nobody would give him insurance. But he now has a great policy through the ACA and not only that was able to purchase a supplemental policy. And no government subsidies. I read Obama’s American Jobs Act and you being a small business women would have loved it because it was loaded with tax incentive based tax cuts for small business I read it and fully understood that there were pieces that did a lot for small business. But every tax break in it for small business and major corporations was incentive based. But it got blocked by the Republican held congress
Did you read the Obama comprehensive tax reform, incredible the tax relief the corporate elite would receive but it was incentive based.
Did you read the Obama comprehensive Immigration reform bill. Trump now is doing some of the things in that bill using his EO.
So please when 400 of the richest people in this country have more wealth than 61% of the people and that doen’t Include there tax havens. And you think it’s fiscal soundness.
Through reading you’re response I can tell you are a bright women no question about that. But you lack any common sense as to what that freak is doing. What is it do you think it’s cool to call yourself a Republican.
