the estate tax repeal and probably AMT repeal are both completely dead in the senate.

I dunno, the whole point of the entire party is to shovel more money from public coffers into the vaults of billionaires. Like there's no level of the party from top to bottom where that is not goal #1

If the final draft ends up being a tax increase, it's just not going to get voted on

They could get a nice country loving handout to the 1% without any of this worry by inviting some bad Dems to the table but they still insist on this lol

If they actually wanted bad dems, they could just suggest a 3% across the board sunsetting tax cut that we throw on the credit card. Bush Tax Cuts Part 2. Everyone gets to go home and campaign on the fact that they cut taxes.

lol, I look forward to seeing what the markets are gonna do in response to the GOP being unable to deliver dump trucks full of money to them yet again

I'm still convinced it passes though, and with estate tax and AMT gone. I think some "vote on this and get a million/year salary as a 'consultant' to my lobbying firm after you announce your retirement" get tossed around to the waffling

We let it be known that Schnorkles, for a snack, eats tiny pieces of shit.

You're picturing it and you're talking about it. That's a win in my book.
i mean i'd ignore the giant lists that are being posted about "THESE ARE WAHT THE REPUBLICANS ARE TAKING AWAY FROM YOU" becuase the whole point of the bill is to remove individual deductions and just group them under a much larger single deduction

this is fine and even could be good if done in the right way but the republicans have tweaked it in such a way that it literally is "more money for us gently caress you"

Mike Rounds has already gone public saying he's opposed to estate tax repeal and multiple GOP senators have waffled on AMT.

Mike Rounds is decently close to leadership and is pulling a Moran and basically taking the fall for blowing something up when it doesn't have the votes.

this might make more sense if they weren't also stripping the personal exemption out which will make it a wash for most people who currently itemize at best and most likely result in a tax increase

im going to let you in on a little secret. if you have a gap of employment just say "medical reasons" they are legally barred from asking you anything further about it

even if they don't ask you anything about it, do employers still see this as disqualifying and claim they're not hiring you for some other reason? asking for a friend, haha

of course if Trump sees someone named Rounds killing his bill he may not respond negatively, because it will make him think of golf and then he will have moved on to the next thought before he could tweet

Honestly why can't they just carry this poo poo out in normal order.

Write a bill out in the open, take industry and expert input, build your caucus through input and tweaking as it goes along.

Why does Republican leadership think these super top secret rush job dog turd bills are the way to go?

because the GOP doesn't have a coalition capable of governing and leadership basically has to try to force feed things to corral the lunatics in the caucus
