While talking about Trump’s upcoming tax plan budget director Mick Mulvaney dropped a bomb on the left’s narrative.
Washington Examiner:
Any tax cut for middle-income earners will also provide a benefit for those further up the income scale, including the top 20 percent who pay 95 percent of all income taxes, according to the director of the Office of Management and Budget.
In explaining the complicated tax system the administration and congressional Republicans are trying to simplify, Mick Mulvaney played the role of professor at Georgetown University Wednesday night and dished the eye-popping numbers and impact of a middle-class tax cut.
It came in a discussion before students of the school’s Institute of Politics and Public Service at the McCourt School of Public Policy. The discussion was directed by Cathy Koch, a tax expert and former Senate aide.
When the two turned to the taxes the rich pay, Mulvaney declared, “The top 20 percent of folks who file a tax return, the top 20 percent, pay 95 percent of the taxes.”
That may be the highest ever. Just two years ago, it was 84 percent, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Sorry, Bernie, the rich aren’t ruining our country socialist policies are.
