Soon Biden's IRS will get your private info from Venmo/PayPal/etc listing "income" in 2022. They will try and tax it even if not actual income.

We just lived through two weeks of the Left arguing that refunds were down and that proved taxes were not really cut.
Refunds are a measure of how much the govenrment took from you in an interest free loan.

The GOP should preserve the filibuster. The filibuster prevented Democrats from passing cap & trade, single-payer healthcare, forced unionization, statehood for DC and Puerto Rico and packing the Supreme Court.
Schumer is baiting Republicans to end the filibuster with this shutdown. Don't take the bait. They are close to caving, don't give Democrats an inch.

Soledad.
Cowards and brown shirts call for censorship.
A 70% top marginal tax rate would be highest in OECD nations.
I would cheerfully debate you on Reagan ending the 70% rate helped US job creation, pay and growth rates.
But you say you fear such debate. Sad.
Hey bookers for news orgs: this fabrication by @GroverNorquist (who we’ve all put on the air a zillion times because of his tax expertise) should be enough to keep you from booking him. He’s both dishonest—and confused about marginal tax rates.

Mitch McConnell changed the direction of the world. He stopped the destruction of the Republican Party by opposing, delaying and weakening and ultimately defeating the drive for “campaign finance reform” that would have left union bosses as the sole power in America. Senator McConnell herorically sculpted the present Supreme Court and saved the second amendment, religious liberty and free speech.
An amazing and lasting legacy

Americans for Tax Reform opposes any effort to increase income tax rates on individuals or businesses.
Presdient Trump ran on making all the tax rates reductions permanent.

All tax rate increases damage economic growth and kill jobs by disincentivizing work and investment.

Great news! But i remember when #Reagan #trickledown economics temporarily boosted the economy. It was exciting! ... then it fell apart and millions suffered from policies that mostly benefit the wealthy & many never stopped suffering. Very similar. Think it thru & #Vote
