Why does Trump feel like he has to lie about the tax plan?

[Cancel 2020.1]

Riddle me that one.

That's the striking thing to me. Everyone who supports this plan keeps saying that the narrative about the plan being mainly for the wealthy is a media concoction & fake news.

So why can't Trump be straight about it? His repeated (many times) contention that the plan actually HURTS him and people who are wealthy & will cost them is easily disproven.

Why does he feel like he has to lie about it? If we're not being scammed, why can't he just be straight-up about it?

He is not lying you are, the middle class gets a disproportionately higher share of the tax cut as a percentage they get less in real numbers because they pay less in real numbers.

He's not lying by saying that this plan will cost him more?

He's not lying by saying that this plan will cost him more?

If his permanent residency is in NYC it will because of the elimination of the state/city tax deduction which really only effects those making more than (off the top of my head) $1 million.

He's not lying, the middle class gets a disproportionately higher share of the tax cut as a percentage they get less in real numbers because they pay less in real numbers and since Trump has his permanent residency in NYC and because he is in the top 4-5% tax bracket due to the elimination of the state/city tax deduction he does in fact stand to lose.

Will you do anything substantive to show your displeasure with this tax plan? Will you forgo any and every tax break you may get under this plan as a show of protest?

Or will you, as I suspect, keep more of your money but bitch about it?

I will understand if you invoke your JPP 5th Amendment right to showing yourself to be a hypocritical dumbass

Really, one of the most simplistic & braindead things you keep posting.

Are you working the border every day? Then please do not complain about immigration.

And if you're going to hop on the thread, you should at least have a go at the question of the OP.

 

[Airstrip One]

So, what's the lie, exactly?

The lie is that the tax plan is going almost entirely to the rich... which is the same lie the left tells every time there is a tax cut. (until of course they extend the very tax cuts they said all went to the rich)

He MAY lose w/ that, but the net gain overall for him - and everyone in his bracket - is a huge windfall.

Please.

Well since the lying POS never revealed his taxes, what is he getting out of the tax "swindle"....???

He's losing money because he lives in NYC and falls in the 4-5% top percent who are losing money thanks to the elimination of the city/state deduction.

Please.

How do you figure? Those in the top 4-5% living in blue states/cities with high state/city taxes are losing money. Where is the windfall? Prove your claim.

He's losing money because he lives in NYC and falls in the 4-5% top percent who are losing money thanks to the elimination of the city/state deduction.

And he gains from the elimination of the AMT, changes to the estate tax, deductions for business and other provisions. It's hard to calculate because he won't release his tax returns, but he likely gains hundreds of millions from this measure.
