Trump Won’t Order a Capital Gains Tax Cut, for Now

More than a year of administration deliberations ended with a presidential decision not to index capital gains for inflation.


President Trump told his top economic advisers that he had decided, for now, to forgo using executive authority to deliver a tax cut that would primarily benefit wealthy investors


The decision not to push for an investor tax cut spares Mr. Trump from what would have been a new round of attacks by Democrats, who have assailed the tax cut on so-called capital gains as a handout to the rich, and most likely a prolonged court fight over whether the executive branch has the authority to enact the cut without action from Congress.

Analyses by outside groups, including the Penn Wharton Budget Model, have found that the vast majority of the gains from the move would go to the top 1 percent of taxpayers, who disproportionately pay capital gains taxes. Advocates of the tax cut had argued that millions of middle-class Americans would also benefit, by reducing taxes on the sale of stocks held in their portfolios or pension funds.

Of course he will. PABPresident It’s not just wealthy people who benefit... but lying is more fin. Couldn’t be motivated by the impending election, the precarious position of the Republicans, and the understanding that his tax cuts never benefit the middle and lower income groups, could it? Of course not, he’s just being magnanimous.

Some airplanes did something. persistentpengn Including himself 👎 Excluding others😧 He's too worried about his own corrupt personal financial mess. TrumpTaxScam TrumpTaxReturns He's trying to give another tax break to the rich? If he won reelection can you imagine, no taxes on the rich and all the tax burden on the middle class and poor. Think that's far fetched, look at the last one

You can't tax by executive fiat ... maybe Mitch needs to remind Donald. By the way, why is Mitch laying down to Trump. 'Ah won't pass a bill that the President won't sign.' Fuck that - give him the bill and sell it, Mitch. Such a lazy and lousy excuse for not passing gun laws. He going to do it sooner or later. This orange ass do anything to inrich him self and his rich buddies.

CyrusToulabi Which means, he will? A tax cut through executive authority? Did he decide that because someone mentioned it wasn't how these things are done? This guy is waiting to get re-elected to dismiss Congress entirely. Or til he repudiates election by order, then Congress, Dem majority pffft.

Trump Drafts Executive Order Increasing Postal Service Inspections for FentanylThe Trump administration has drafted an executive order that would increase inspections of mailed packages, in an effort to crack down on shipments of counterfeit goods and deadly drugs from foreign nations including China NOOOOOOOOO!!!

Will that include packages shipped by all his family’s goods manufactured in these foreign nations, including China!

just kidding. Such lies How is it that king Trump would be able to do it anyway? Reading between the lines it seems like he was actually told he couldn't. That’s mighty white of him.

Somebody needs to tweet about somebody’s wife! This SH is gonna be GOOD!

Gall based politics. The sheer gall of giving the 1% another tax giveaway - they don't pay as much percentage wise as those who earn a wage already. Indexing would give long term gains NO inflation, another free ride. 'Outrageous' is not sufficient to describe this move. Because his buddies didn't sell any stocks this year, they will take the tax break when they decide to sell

Perfect Onion headline. So, in Trump's America, we just don't use that whole Constitution thing where The House has the soul power to make tax law then.

Too bad there wasn't any past indicators that showed Trump to be financially irresponsible.

He better back off, or I will burn my tax notice on his lawn! Too little TOO LATE. Enriching himself and the top 2%. Surprise, surprise. I think they've been given enough. He's basically giving himself a tax cut.
