White House chief strategist Steve Bannon supports paying for middle-class tax cuts with a new top rate of 44 percent for Americans who make more than $5 million a year, according to a person familiar with his thinking. Broken clocks, man

Surprised. But as others have said why would Trump and the rest of the GOP support this? I can't see them suddenly changing their tune.

And this isn't the first he's talked about this, though I don't know that he's ever put real numbers to it before.

Also, LOL @ all the liberals who will suddenly love Bannon after calling him evil incarnate. I don't: I happen to agree with him on this particular issue. If you agree with a Democrat on something, does that suddenly mean you approve and support everything they do? If you think people calling pointing broken clocks are hypocrites, I'm not sure you understand how basic mental functions work. People can agree with a person on one thing and disagree with them on another thing. This is how reality works.

Nobody is squirming. Claim A: Liberals will love Bannon now that he supports a liberal policy. This claim has no backing evidence in this particular topic. The general consensus among left-minded people in this thread is "I agree with Bannon on this subject, but still dislike him." Claim B: Liberals are now squirming when they point out my logic. No, they're just pointing out your faulty logic. You either live in a separate reality where liberals suddenly became Bannon worshipers, or you're doing a really bad attempt at saving face after you made a fool of yourself.

44% is p much ludicrous but then again it's only about 4pp increase. I would be more interested to see what cuts for lower brackets would be tbh than worrying about 4pp in a tax bracket I and nobody I will ever know will ever fit into. |

We need more tax brackets and the idea of separating the rich from the super rich is definitely important. Bannon's ideas on economic nationalism are completely at odds with the GOP, though, and doesn't seem like Trump actually gives any f***s about anything other than "winning" in the short term, so there's no chance this gets out of the gate at all.

I think if there's one thing Trump would actually stand for it would be to not raise taxes on himself.I am against this. I would rather see an increase in capital gains and dividends than with regular income, which is already taxed much much higher.I may not go down in history, but I will go down on your sister.44% is not high enough but it's a small step in the right direction.OpheliaAdenade posted...It may be for the wrong reasons but I'll take it!

I dunno what the politics are on the conservative side. For a liberal, I'd say a better way to raise taxes would be to go after "loopholes" but maybe if you approach it from the alt-right it is more feasible to advocate for rate increases. IdkHe would make his mark, if not on this tree, then on that wall; if not with teeth and claws, then with penknife and razor.I'm definitely more of the opinion of at least reevaluating all the loopholes the rich exploit, rather than just increasing the rate arbitrarily.Aeris dies if she takes more damage than her current HP - Panthera

Do you have state taxes on top of that though? Many states have state taxes that would be added on top of this tax rate.

Oh, well you could have people with higher marginal tax rates in the US then under Bannon's proposal given that state and sometimes local taxes exist too. That's also not even getting into property taxes and whatnot.I may not go down in history, but I will go down on your sister.I didn't know Denmark had a maximum income tax, that's kinda interesting.

Yes, in the business community it is actually well known that the US has unusually high corporate tax rates. It's something that the political left seems to be in complete denial about, though.
And it is a good point to mention that they have the VAT in Denmark. That contributes significantly more to the amount of taxes they pay if you were to include that. It's a big part of why the cost of living in countries like Denmark is so high I'm sure.I may not go down in history, but I will go down on your sister.At any rate 44% has no chance at all.
