House speaker to visit Boeing in Everett to talk tax reform

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

EVERETT — U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan will tour the Boeing Co. plant in Everett on Thursday and chat with workers about his plan to slash the amount of federal taxes paid by the plane-builder and other businesses in order to spur economic growth.

Ryan’s visit is scheduled to begin at 8 a.m. with a tour of various production lines. He will then hold a “town hall” with employees that will be streamed live online, according to information released by the speaker’s office.

Neither event is open to the public.

Washington Republican U.S. Rep. Dan Newhouse is slated to join Ryan in Everett. Newhouse, who lives in Sunnyside, serves on the House Appropriations Committee and House Rules Committee.

Democratic U.S. Rep. Suzan DelBene, whose district includes part of Snohomish County, did not get invited though she is on the House Ways and Means Committee that would act on any tax reform legislation.

Why Rep. Newhouse? I believe Boeing does some test flights out of Moses Lake but outside of that they no facilities in his district.

Sounds like the typical Trumpian style of only talking to those on the right.

1. what about their tax-free Washington?

Boeing gets off the hook for taxes in Washington and then they will beg to bankrupt the country to get out of federal taxes they don't pay anyway. Hope the papers make note of that n Thursday.

2. The article talks about that later

Obviously I can't print the whole thing.

3. Have you ever heard an argument from the Democrats other than "Don't cut taxes?"

The only thing that encourages companies to grow is DEMAND. Cut corpprate tax rates leaves more money in their bank accounts, but they aren't going to spend ot on expansion unless there is DEMAND to back it up. They'll just take the extra dough and pay fat bonuses to their execs, or buy back stock, which is also good for execs because they usually get a lot of stock options as part of their compensation.

I never hear any Democrats talk about this.

4. Sure, and Hillary got grief (of course) for steeing contracts to Boeing.

So now Boeing is sticking this in our craw. Not sure why.

6. Open an infrastructure bank to spur construction business

That is directly stimulating the economy and creates jobs.

8. I agree

The federal government can borrow money (issue treasury notes) at a much lower interest rate than states can.

7. Nor did Rick Larsen (D) get invited, whose district actually does include Boeing.

Not that I'd give Larsen the time of day...
