Trump seeks 15 percent corporate tax rate, even if it swells the national debt

Source: The Washington Post

President Trump has instructed advisers to drastically cut the corporate tax rate even though doing so will expand the deficit and grow the national debt, sticking to one of his campaign pledges but shattering another. 

Trump instructed advisers last week that he wants the corporate tax rate to be lowered from 35 percent to 15 percent, a senior White House official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity. This is the same rate that Trump pursued during his 2016 campaign, but officials had not signaled since the election whether he would stick to the pledge. 

By doing so — but not committing to measures that would offset the revenue loss — Trump is making clear he is putting a priority on cutting taxes over the national debt. It also potentially creates a tension point with House Republicans, who have spent years advancing a vision for tax restructuring of their own. 

The White House decision comes at a crucial time. White House officials plan to unveil the broad principles of their tax plan Wednesday, though details of what would be in the release remained fluid Monday, another White House official said.

Sounds good they will grow the economy so much that the deficit will be gone by the time Trumps done in 2024 :) 

 

Stupid fucks would rather stifle business and try to get 25 - 30 % off a few instead of dropping it getting a whole shit ton more at 15 %

MC with another tax thread...while he moves his residence from one state to another.  Because it's his job to berate people for not wanting to "pay their fair share". It's not his job to pay his own.

Loser.

right so he chose to live in nh and therefore pays higher property taxes than he would in MA and the business is still in MA so he pays MA income taxes .  Seems he's done nothing to avoid taxes outside on any dividend payout he may recieve as a shareholder.

He takes his pay in disbursements to avoid tax.
