Eliminate deductions, and collect taxes on all earnings.

Google, George Soros, multinationals etc. don't pay the top rates, the K street lobbyists build the loopholes in so they pay virtually nothing. Slimming down the tax code would have the extra benefit of cutting down the billions of dollars flowing into the political process (which would cost a few jobs, but good in this case). Everybody pays a 'fair' share, no more smoke and mirrors, so everybody has skin in the game. Maybe everyone gets a $10K exemption to help the poorest of the poor. In perfect world - no withholding, you have to write a quarterly check to the government so you really see how much government costs you. And yes, eliminate the mortgage deduction - it doesn't reward home ownership, it rewards debt.

So the rich would get a tax rate cut, but under my system, they'd likely pay more tax dollars. Thousands of accountants, IRS people, lobbyists lose jobs, but medium term, the economy grows because the uncertainty of Congress fiddling with taxes every year goes away. Business people can plan for the long term.

A man that does not believe what he sees the muslim tell them is a lost cause. Your avatar is a picture of a true American where do you stand.
I stand with the American people, regardless of race, ethnicity, color or creed. We Americans, by birth or otherwise need to stand together against oppression by the ruling Junta, the elites, the corporatists, asshole bosses and all like them. My race is mixed, I have a little of this and a little of that, all good I might add. I believe this gives me a raceless perspective. I'm somewhere around 1/8th indian, not enough to qualify for the dole, dang. Not enough to buy my new pickup and whiskey for a month, like my poor full blooded brothers. They wrecked the pickup the first week, and now they are broke again. Yes, I do know some of my tribesmen in person, in fact I'm a recognized medicineman, hence the name. I'm proud of my indian heritage, and all the rest also, Irish, english, and I'm told a little dutch. Basically a white devil.

Thats just the culture of American Natives, Whiskey(alcohol in general) does something to them that it doesn't do to most of us. Im sure they have a newer truck this week if the insurance paid off. Or they bought a used truck and used the rest of the cash to buy more booze. Not all Natives are boozers, but many are. Its hard to have respect for things that are just given to you, the reservations are full of slums.

tax cuts for the rich has always created jobs. Not just talking about people but major corps. When a company has more money to expand, such as ups, GE, fast food chains, they can higher more people and do. A ton of people are employed by the top 2-3 percent.
