So much winning

I wonder if Congress will take it up, as it wouldn't be unconstitutional then. The ruling was based on the fact that Congress allocates the budget, not the executive.

Nobody cares about overarching political ideologies when that sweet, temporary partisan solution is so close.

OBAMA’S BARRAGE OF COMPLETE SENTENCES SEEN AS BRUTAL ATTACK ON TRUMP
By Andy Borowitz April 24, 2017
borowitz-obama-complete-sentences
(The Borowitz Report)—
In an appearance at the University of Chicago on Monday, former President Barack Obama unloaded a relentless barrage of complete sentences in what was widely seen as a brutal attack on his successor, Donald Trump.
Appearing at his first public event since leaving office, Obama fired off a punishing fusillade of grammatically correct sentences, the likes of which the American people have not heard from the White House since he departed.
“He totally restricted his speech to complete sentences,” Tracy Klugian, a student at the event, said. “It was the most vicious takedown of Trump I’d ever seen.”
“About five or six sentences in, I noticed that all of his sentences had both nouns and verbs in them,” Carol Foyler, another student, said. “I couldn’t believe he was going after Trump like that.”
Obama’s blistering deployment of complete sentences clearly got under the skin of their intended target, who, moments after the event, responded with an angry tweet: “Obama bad (or sick) guy. Failing. Sad!”

15% corporate tax that buiz owners can claim too?

Then he (very vaguely) wants to close loopholes, but what would they need them for when they already pay a lower rate than their employees?

I like some aspects of the plan and think other parts of it need work. The inheritance tax, for instance, is pretty ridiculous and doesn't make much sense anyway.

Right!?

No, as in the inheritance tax never made much sense to begin with. Getting rid of it is something only people with nothing to pass on to their kids would whine about.

How much is enough for them? Where is this flood of good paying work we were promised?

How many yachts do they need to own?

Then we need a better tax code in general so that the wealthy will use what they have. If you try to pass on even just 1 million dollars you pay $345,800 of that. And there's no good reason for that when someone in that family is already paying heavy taxes year after year at that level.

At the end of the day, we need a country where people of all income levels should want to live and feel that its fair. If you want to reduce the disparity, then support a smarter tax code that provides incentives for all types of income brackets.

...or just continue to pray one day for Karl Marx to come down in a heavenly chariot and destroy the capitalist swine.

Ant ******* Trump's and the GOP's dicks once again.

I seriously despise people with your mindset.

Well I despise close-minded fools like you just as much, so how about that?

...nah just kidding. :P

You must have missed the part where I called for a smarter tax code for all income brackets. But I don't expect anything resembling reading comprehension from you or elph, so here's a nice *shrug*.
