The Trump Tax Cuts Will Not Save Republicans This Fall
Congressional Republicans are cruisin’ for a bruisin’. In competitive districts across the country, Democrats are out-recruiting, out-fundraising, and outpolling their opponents. The GOP is losing more incumbents to retirement (and/or the #MeToo movement) every week. Team Blue leads the generic ballot by 8 percent, and have overperformed by double digits in nearly every special election held in the past year — notching state Senate victories in deep red parts of Wisconsin and Oklahoma in the process. Meanwhile, Donald Trump remains more unpopular than any previous president at this point in their tenures. When GOP operatives wish to dismiss these ominous signs (and/or sleep at night), they tell themselves the following: Once the public learns what the Trump tax cuts actually do, they will rally to the Republican cause.

Photo: NurPhoto/NurPhoto via Getty Images A federal judge on Monday delivered good news to those holding out hope that the public will one day see Donald Trump’s tax returns. In a 75-page ruling, Manhattan judge Victor Marrero slapped down Trump’s argument that sitting presidents cannot be criminally investigated.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit issued a temporary stay of the subpoena Monday morning. In a tweet, Trump blamed “Radical Left Democrats” for the case, writing that they “are pushing local New York City and State Democrat prosecutors to go get President Trump. A thing like this has never happened to any President before. Not even close!” Monday’s ruling comes more than a month after Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance subpoenaed … [Read more...] about Trump Ordered to Hand Over 8 Years of Tax Returns to Manhattan DA
Column: Two billionaires explain why they shouldn’t pay more taxes, unlike you poor saps
Statements by billionaires explaining why they already pay plenty in taxes and shouldn’t have to pay any more have become so much a part of the political landscape that they deserve a “Jeopardy!” category all to themselves.A new op-ed on this theme, penned for the Tuesday Wall Street Journal by Home Depot co-founder Bernard Marcus and New York supermarket magnate John Catsimatidis, sets a standard for the genre that other tycoons will shoot for in vain. Let’s take a look.In their very first sentence, the authors declare, “The two of us are quite rich” -- thereby instantly establishing their piece as the Platonic ideal of Wall Street Journal op-eds. Every additional dollar the government takes from us is a dollar less for this critical process of expanding America’s wealth and job-creating businesses. Billionaires Bernard Marcus and John Catsimatidis Advertisement The rest of the piece, which is headlined “Making Money is a Patriotic … [Read more...] about Column: Two billionaires explain why they shouldn’t pay more taxes, unlike you poor saps
