So What Strategy Will The Dems Employ On This Tax Reform That Will Be The Next Big Topic?.....

[global1]

It's clear that Trump and the Repugs are going to try and shame the Dems into supporting this Tax Reform. They're going to say if the Dems don't support it that they don't want the American People to benefit and if it doesn't pass - they'll blame Dem obstruction.

How do you think the Dems will counteract that? What will be their strategy to make sure that the Repugs look bad on this?

One thing I can envision is that the Dems ask for more tax relief for the American People than the Repugs want to dole out - and then turn the tables on them - that - we wanted to save you more money and they didn't.

The other thing that I can envision is to very vividly point out to the American People that this Tax Reform is a big tax reduction for the wealthy and the corporations and that they are just dangling the help for the American People out there to get them to support this. The help for the American People is nothing in comparison to how the rich and the corporations will benefit.

What do you think will happen? Or will the Repugs be feuding against each other that they will kill it on their own?

Do you think the American People will get behind coming out to Repug Town Halls and taking the Repugs on on Tax Reform like they did with Healthcare?

1. Dems need to go the class warfare route: middle class/poor paying for tax cuts for millionaires

The numbers certainly back up this approach.

2. Since tax reform could massively benefit trump and we would not know it, per MSNBC

since we are not allowed to see his taxes, I would say show us the returns before we do anything, before we do JACK

3. Given the disarray in the GOP right now because of Trump

and the mess made with ACA repeal, I don't imagine that it will be easy for everybody in the GOP to coalesce around a specific plan. They all like tax cuts for the wealthy, of course, but I'm not sure they are all going to be able to unify around a particular proposal(s). Democrats probably will mostly sit on the sidelines and watch the chaos engulf the Republicans without having to do much. Tax reform- TRUE tax reform- IS definitely needed, but nothing the Republicans propose will be acceptable to many Democrats, if any. I predict another massive legislative failure for Trump/GOP. Placing my money on it now.

6. So If True Tax Reform Is Really Needed.....

What would a Dem tax reform plan look like?

7. Some ideas

Taxing businesses more, closing tax loopholes that the wealthy take advantage of to pay little or no tax, holding businesses accountable for paying their taxes, cracking down on offshore tax shelters, rescinding tax cuts for the wealthy, etc.

8. Would A Good Strategy By The Dems Then Be....

to put such ideas in a Dem version of Tax Reform and get it out before the Repugs expand on Trump's one page version?

And which of the Dems would lead this charge?
