Fewer people will actually pay tax at that rate. Now, let me tell you what else they want to do. They want to nearly double the standard deduction. 12,000 for individuals. 24,000 for married couples. Thats the justification for raising the lowest tax rate from 10 to 12 that a whole lot of people arent actually going to pay for. The plan also calls for the elimination of the socalled marriage penalty. Raising the tax credit for a child under 17 by a yet to be specified amount. And look for a new 500 tax credit for nonchild dependents. That replaces the idea that you can actually otherwise claim nonchild dependents. In addition, the plan calls for repealing the estate tax. What a lot of republicans call the death tax. This benefits generally speaking the wealthy. It also repeals the Alternative Minimum Tax. At lot of you might say i pay the Alternative Minimum Tax. Heres the problem. It was actually meant to be something for the wealthy. Wasnt indexed to inflation so a
number of people i

This is so far looking at the reelect, they seem to have a rule about who has the legal fees paid for by campaign donors. You have to be named donald trump. Did good thing for the trump family is they have two of those guys. Two people. Junior and senior. Ivanka needs anything, uhhuh. Kushner, do you get any money . Exactly. Poor mike pence, next week, is going to be raising money for the trump reelection fund. Hes raised money for his own pac and donated that money to the trump reelection fund paying for juniors legal fees and mike pence pays for his own. The funniest part is he then has to sell the plasma to help jared and the other non donald trump Family Members pay their legal fees. Running out of blood. Yeah. You know that the president s going to volunteer him. Tap mike. Hes healthy. The paler he looks, the more hes pumping into the trump

Of the trump campaign. Just to state the obvious that we all know, the president shoots from the hip. Im not sure there was a ton of fore thought into what he said about sessions. I think he was honest and blunt about his feelings at that moment in time. They are feelings that he has had on and off for some time now. The Russian Investigation as we all know kind of wont go away as a story line partly because theres an open investigation but also because the president is preoccupied with it and he brings it up all the time, in private conversations and apparently in public ones.
