Joe S. of Morning Joe said on Monday's show that he's responsible for Trump's 15% Corp Tax Rate

One Monday's show, Joe S. said that Trump had been on TV last week talking about he was working on his Tax Plan and going to submit a tax plan this week. Joe leaned into the TV camera and told Trump "if he wanted to get something done in the first 100 days he should just keep it simple and cut the Corporate Tax rate to 15%. He should then go down to the Capital and talk to Chuck Schumer and say, "I'm cutting the corporate tax rate to 15%, what do you need to get it passed." He said that he heard later that day, Trump was watching the show because he knows he watches, and that he told Mnuchin that he wanted to lower the Corp Tax Rate to 15% and to make it happen.

are hard to take away once you pass them. Also hard to restore them later on when the jobs, jobs, jobs don't materialize that they promised would as a result of those tax cuts. The Debt enables them to cut entitlement programs (which they hated all along) when the debt balloons because there is not enough revenue coming in and then they propose cutting social security, medicare, medical, VA benefits, disability benefits, etc because they can't keep the government up and running. Same song, different cast of characters.
