Steve Bannon is causing a stir inside the administration by pushing an idea that's anathema to most Republicans: raising taxes on the wealthiest Americans to pay for steep middle and working-class tax cuts. (Some officials who've heard Bannon's idea think it's crazy, but the President's chief strategist believes it's a potent populist idea.)
Bannon has told colleagues he wants the top income tax bracket to "have a 4 in front of it." (The top bracket is currently 39.6% for Americans who earn more than $418,400.)


thank you, mr. bannon

Incoming 5% tax cut for America's wealthiest. 34.6% still counts, right?

We need more tax brackets starting at high incomes. $418K is too low to be the max tax rate.

Must be a man living in Portland Oregon with the same name. No way this is the Steve Bannon that is in the administration.

I mean, not that this is accurate, but is it really "inconsistent" for someone to like a political figure more when their policies are more inline with their own?

Sounds like you just want to dig into "libruls" rather than any particular intelligent political commentary.

Should the government pay taxes too? Into a pot for the people. Similar to how Alaska has the Alaskan state fund that gives everyone in Alaska a yearly salary. Over time, a federal pot could do the same thing for all citizens.

If Trump were to propose this, all that talk about impeachment and the 25th amendment would finally have legs.

That's not what happened though. People didn't give a shit that he was fired, really. People cared that the circumstances surrounding his firing were suspicious.
