Last night trump said to put partisanship aside.....this morning



“Nancy Pelosi all of a sudden doesn’t like the payroll tax cut, but when Obama proposed it she thought it was a brilliant thing that all of the working families would benefit from because if you get a paycheck, you’re going to take home more money.”

6. Some facts about Obama's payroll tax cut

Obama's tax cut was 2% of the 7.65% and it applied to only workers and not employers 7.65%. He also raised inheritance taxes to cover it.

I wonder if he is also proposing eliminating the ACA Medicare tax provision on withholding for high income workers? That is a tax they have been trying to eliminate.

8. Trumps plan with payroll tax reductions is a Trojan horse to destroy Asa's

What we need is direct payments to the people making zero to 150k, and send them all checks for $2500-$5000 each first, and no businesses who have paid zero in taxes should get a dime of our money, and with people paying zero taxes who make a good salary. Banks especially who make billions and pay no taxes deserve a dime from us. People trust Speaker Pelosi and her plan, and don't trump, and it's already showing.
