GOP Greed Is A Bottomless Pit. Now They Want To Add Capital Gains Cut

The Big MAGA Murder Bill is not enough, because Republican greed is a bottomless pit. Now several conservative organizations and Republican lawmakers are preparing to ask The Cheeto for another major tax cut - this time, potentially without congressional approval. Via the Washington Post:

Trump’s tax and immigration law is projected to add more than $4 trillion to the national debt over the next 10 years, broadly reducing tax rates while cutting spending on Medicaid and clean energy subsidies. The legislation is the culmination of years of advocacy on the right, making permanent many of the 2017 tax cuts Trump approved during his first term, and it represents one of the most expensive new laws in decades.

With that victory newly secured, conservative groups - including Americans for Tax Reform, led by anti-tax crusader Grover Norquist - are already asking the Trump administration to get behind another cut, which would drastically reduce what investors pay on their capital gains.

You remember Grover "Let's drown government in the bathtub" Norquist. As part of the Republican drive to further strip the federal government and sell it for parts, they will never stop. It's never enough, you see.

The plan rests on changing how the Treasury Department calculates those taxes.
