[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 2736151, member: 18225"] My impression of 'tax-reform', as far Republicans are concerned, means cutting taxes on the richest segment of society and pretending that there will be a concurrent 'boost' in the economy...rising tides, etc. Has that ever worked? In reality, it's just a shift in the tax burden - by chance or design, cutting taxes on the rich really doesn't stimulate anything, except the size of yachts for those who win. Who loses? It seems to me there's a fantasy among the Republicans that somehow there is an unwashed horde of 'takers', and if we just stopped taxing people, then... I can't complete the sentence, because it's not clear to me how lower taxes for rich people equates to anything more than rich people keeping more of their money. Someone school me, clearly I'm confused. [/QUOTE]
