pro-growth is fine if you are a kid, but once you are an adult, the last thing you want to hear is that you have a growth.

Not after they pass Lil'Donnie Two-Scoops care and cut the funding for Medicaid.

If I lose the mortgage interest deduction not only does my financial "plan" fail, I won't be able to sell to anyone other than a millionaire who has $24,000 in charitable donations.

While they may not have published the break points for the tax brackets, I'm sure they have the numbers in mind and I'd bet they re something like:

0 - 10,000 -- 0% 10,001- 10,002 -- 12% 10,003 -- 10,004 -- 25% 10,005 -- 200,000 -- 35% 200,001+ -- 0%

Please remember: as of 2015 71% of Americans earned less than $50,000 a year. 71%. Try raising a family on that. Those are the people tax breaks should be helping. In most cases every dollar they don't have to pay in taxes gets spent immediately. Still, the best way to stimulate the economy remains government infrastructure improvement, provided that the companies doing them are American companies. A poor family with a tax windfall might buy a TV or a phone made in Asia or clothing sewn in Jordan. A new public transportation line, sewer construction, or building a bridge creates well-paying jobs and stimulates local economies.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning economic journalist David Cay Johnson got a summary of Trump's 2005 tax return last March. He compared it to the proposed tax plan to determine that Trump would have paid 85% less under the new rules being proposed for the rich. He called it "welfare for billionaires." Does anyone thing Trump deserves an 85% tax cut?

Yep, it works great that way, too! I wonder how long a covfefe is? Is covfefe a measure of time, or just a word? I've been using covfefe for "whatever." But it does have many other uses.
