- Thanks for confirming you fail to comprehend this basic infographic, just like you fail to understand the implications of the tax plan.monospaced
- lol at an infographic. The core being reality, you're the farthest from it.********
- enlighten us and tell us how it works. also, please explain why the "tricke down" policies in Kansas did not result in an economic boom but budget deficits.dorf
- omg, are you really trying to say trickle down economics works? please, cite a source that shows thismonospaced
- because your interpretation that kona is the 1% billionaire that gets the tax break is not only inaccurate, it's full retardmonospaced
- putting money at the bottom never helped create jobs, improve business, economy, or enrich products with innovation. the poor just stayed poor.********
- Eventually business dies, layoffs and the growing poverty rate would just grow till the entire economy collapses.********
- not true ... letting people keep their earnings helps boost the economy and overall spending, and helps people save and improve their lives and futuresmonospaced
- seeing your rich boss get richer while your paycheck decreases and your benefits dwindle is what it doesmonospaced
- its sad watching someone try so hard to support and rationalize something that will hurt him so much. omg, you truly are our village idiot.kona
- Master level trollRamanisky2
- mono, you're arguing why we all need a fair tax system where the top and bottom pay their fair equal share.********
- you're also being just butt hurt jealous in your explanation that someone has more money than you.********
- If the top of these billion or million dollar companies pays the same equal tax rate as you (ie: 15%), they'll still be paying more taxes than you.********
- Giving someone food stamps may buy him a bologna sandwich, but it'd be far more better to give him a job instead.********
- there are some coal jobs are coming back. You should wait for thatzaq
- omg - they are not working for you, they are working for themselves, the fact you don't realise this is both amusing and worrying.fadein11
- regardless its morally unethical to suggest that your money is not your money. that you are obligated to give it to someone else.********
- to say that any company, product or service does not work for the benefit of its user would mean it would fail and no one would buy it.********
- lol omg, my tax rate is 40%monospaced
- and if you think regular people only pay 15%, then you truly are one retarded, ignorant asshole, and it explains why you don't understand thismonospaced
- It's a sad, pathetic excuse with "they will pay more taxes", uh, fucking capt obvious. The percentage of their living necessities is the relevant comparison.formed
- and you're a fucking idiot if you think those corporations NEED a tax break. If they're doing so great under trump, then they certainly can pay a fair sharemonospaced
- So maybe that should explain the reason Kansas failed.********
- Jobs are ONLY made when there is demand. Business owners don't create jobs because they are "nice". No money at middle class = no jobs, everyone loses.formed
- mono, 15% was just an example.********
- the reason it failed in Kansas is that the rich assholes didn't trickle the wealth down, and that's well documentedmonospaced
- Butr that's logical economics, something the GOP has deliberately discredited to give handouts to the ultra wealthy.formed
- what are you going to be paying after the tax reform?********
- The fools that regurgitate the nonsense are too dense to realize the charade.formed
- They probably needed a tax break from Obama. What they probably need is a fair tax plan from Trump. Where both you and corporations pay equal percentage in tax.********
- Where you pay ie: 15% and they also pay 15%. That's fair and equal.********
- formed. Jobs are not ONLY made when there is a demand. A consumer cannot demand something that he/she doesn't know they need.********
- if you think it's only about tax rates, then you truly are one ignorant, naive, stupid motherfucking troll ... fuck off alreadymonospaced
- the tax plan is about all the changes that are happening, and all the deductions they're removing that affect non billionairesmonospaced
- most often new ideas are not generated on the idea of being nice, but rather on accomplishing an idea********
- @omg, if you think the tax plan trump puts out is more fair, then you really are an idiot, or else just brainwashed to spew the diarrhea you've been drinkingmonospaced
- last I checked many were getting $1100 back in our pockets. equivalent to free service for our iPhones.********
- correction: $1,182 not $1100********
- $1000 back in 'your' pockets! Wow, what are you going to do with a whole $36 or so per paycheck? Why, you could almost buy yourself an education omg!kona
- correction: $45 per paycheck! Holy shit you're almost a billionaire!kona
- Yes. You can buy yourself a new laptop to last 4-6 years to give yourself a proper education.********

Republican Leadership Tax Plan’s Pass-Through Tax Break Would Provide Massive Windfall to the Wealthy
A key reason why the tax plan that the Trump Administration and congressional Republican leaders released in September is costly and heavily tilted to the wealthiest households is its special, much lower top rate for “pass-through” business income.[1] This is income from businesses such as partnerships, S corporations, and sole proprietorships claimed on individual tax returns — that is, it “passes through” to the business owners and is taxed at the owners’ individual tax rates (the same rates that apply to wages and salaries). These businesses already have the advantage of being exempt from the corporate tax on profits and taxes on dividends. Under the September Republican tax plan, pass-through income would be taxed at no more than 25 percent — far below the 39.6 percent top individual income tax rate that now applies to pass-through income, or the 35 percent top rate that would apply to individual income under the GOP plan. This would provide a massive windfall to the very wealthy and has sometimes been referred to as the “Trump loophole” because Donald Trump exemplifies the type of business owner whom it would most benefit. (See Box 1.)
The GOP tax plan as a whole would cost well over $2.4 trillion over a decade and would cut millionaires’ taxes by $200,000 in 2018, on average. The pass-through provision is a prime driver of that cost and regressive tilt. Tax Policy Center (TPC) analyses[2] of plans to reduce the pass-through rate to 25 percent show:
The pass-through rate cut would cost about $770 billion over ten years, accounting for a significant share of the overall tax plan’s cost.
About 80 percent of the tax cut on existing pass-through income would flow to households with incomes over $1 million. Their tax cuts would average roughly $50,000 apiece in 2018, boosting their after-tax incomes by more than 2 percent.[3] This extreme tilt reflects the fact that the bulk of pass-through income flows to high-income households and that they would get a larger tax break on each dollar of pass-through income (because they are in higher income tax brackets).
The provision would create major new opportunities for tax avoidance. An estimated $130 billion of the $770 billion total cost would come from high earners reclassifying their non-business wage and salary income as pass-through income to take advantage of the lower rate, according to TPC.[4] In fact, the revenue losses due to tax avoidance would easily exceed the provision’s total tax cuts for the bottom 99 percent of the population.

- the more money the wealthiest have, the more likely that money will fall out of their pockets and trickle down to the restGnash
