Tax reform WILL NOT be easy

[Onyx]

I honestly don't know why Trump supporters believe it will be a cakewalk. If anything, it is going to be harder than healthcare.

Know why there hasn't been tax reform for 30 years? There is a shit ton of special interests, big money, and political division involved. Even the Tax Reform Act of 1986 barely passed, due to a huge amount of internal resistance.

And no - tax reform is not tax cuts. If that's what you thought, then don't even bother responding to this thread.

September 25, 1986 (292-136) and by the Senate on September 27, 1986 (74-23)

68% in the House, 76% in the Senate.
Sounds like pretty healthy margins......

What was the point of posting that? Like I said, there hasn't been successful tax reform in 30 years and even that attempt was met with heavy resistance.

After a lot of heavy fighting within the party itself.

I agree, it passed easily.

We need serious tax reform, and it won't happen. Another Trump failure in the making.

Especially if he tries to modify the border tax. That will never fly.

There will be no border surcharge. The GOP Texas and California congress critters won't permit it.

No GOP members will permit it. The tariff applies to all imported goods coming into America.
