r4X0r 12/04/17 2:38:22 PM #7:	Unless we go with the House plan, which leaves the top bracket alone. The Senate plan lowers the top bracket 1.1% to 38.5%. Keep in mind from 2001-2013, it was 35%, and raising it accomplished nothing. But it is kind of baffling how so many people can't figure out that the people who pay the most taxes get the most tax breaks. It's hard to give people tax breaks who don't pay any taxes. We already have a lot of people in this country with negative tax burdens. They get back more than they pay in. --- Professionals are predictable- it's the amateurs who are dangerous. <cite>r4X0r posted [p:891578176] in The top 0....

I believe they did include it in the new tax bill, which is set at 12% for assets held overseas. There's a really chance a lot of money will be flowing back to he states.
