adding additional provisions for pass-through does nothing but make it more complicated.

Even if it helps a significant majority, as you claim, more than 50% of the tax benefit will go to those making $250k and up a year.

"Finance tax cuts" - ummmm MU - 11/15 09:40:44

Significant majority get a tax cut. You just don't like - tman KC - 11/15 08:37:14

Also going to significantly raise taxes on graduate students - MrBlueSky MU - 11/15 08:43:45

No it isnt. Are you basing this on the fact - tman KC - 11/15 08:56:24

"even if you are correct" - meatiger MU - 11/15 09:15:05

I don't pull things out of air like you - MrBlueSky MU - 11/15 08:58:25

It's going to raise taxes on many middle class families - MrBlueSky MU - 11/15 08:40:40

Still help majority. (nm) - tman KC - 11/15 08:56:53

So you're fine with middle class people having a higher tax - MrBlueSky MU - 11/15 08:57:50

You can't make the bill help every sile person and overhaul - tman KC - 11/15 09:01:13

So adding new income sources to be taxed - meatiger MU - 11/15 09:16:35

Simpletons. Yes. It eliminates a carve out - tman KC - 11/15 09:22:20

It would require a much bigger salary increase - meatiger MU - 11/15 09:25:13

Things change. The University will still - tman KC - 11/15 09:34:32

And guess what - meatiger MU - 11/15 09:45:19

This does not simplify the tax code - MrBlueSky MU - 11/15 09:03:55

Yes it does. Not nearly as much as I would like - tman KC - 11/15 09:17:28

That is because a straight flat tax would kill the poor - meatiger MU - 11/15 09:22:24

No it wouldnt. They pay sales tax now - tman KC - 11/15 09:37:31

Simple math disagrees with you - meatiger MU - 11/15 09:43:17
