no, i didn't know you wanted to reverse all the tax cuts. but then i never really got a tax cut. unless going from 15% bracket to 10% brackett made a big impact. I believe capital gains cuts have helped and allowing corps to bring back international income at a reduced tax rate. i believe that is what happen vs corporations keeping that money outside the us because of tax penalties. i would like to see us at least retain 10% min tax while expand top amount in the bracket but new tax program proposed by task force increased bracket tax back to 15%. oh, do we really even have to tax people below $40,000? did you notice Hillary and teddy signed off on voting for the $500 million, for Miss senator, add on to defense bill. I expect it was for positioning purposes otherwise i do not understand giving away another $500 million . not sure we got to cut taxes but we sure got to cut spending. soc sec i see no problem in expanding age qualifications for benefits another few years.
