Tax increase on Rich ok, but GOP shouldn't do it

President Donald Trump supported the idea of ​​increasing the richest Americans on Friday, while openly with the politics of such a step, he advised that his Republicans should “probably” “probably”.

Trump's public consultation on social media came after the spokeswoman Mike Johnson, R-La., In relation to the highest earners to the greatest tax and expenditure calculations that the GOP passed, added a tax increase to the highest earners.

It is the latest signal that Trump – whose agenda describes himself strongly on what he describes as “a large, beautiful bill”, which leads through a shared congress, is ready to end traditional republican orthodoxy in the taxation of the rich.

Trump in the Truth Social Post Friday morning said that he “and everyone” would “graciously” even accept a “tiny” tax increase for the rich “to the advantage of” lower and medium -sized income workers “.

But “the problem” with this idea, he wrote, “is that the radical lunatics of the Democrats would go around screaming, 'read my lips', the legendary quote from George Bush, the elder who chose the election.”

Trump referred to George HW Bush's election promise from 1988 that he would not increase taxes as President. Bush's later failure to keep this promise created a main goal for his political opponents and was seen as a factor for his loss in the 1992 elections.

Trump's post denied this story. “No, Ross Perot cost him the choice!” he wrote.

“In any case, the Republicans shouldn't do it,” added Trump.

But then he wrote to turn around, and wrote: “I'm fine when you do it !!!”

The post could exert even more pressure on GOP leaders who already have difficulty making an invoice that meets Trump's claims for a number of major tax cuts without expanding the deficit that the party's fiscal falcons will not be correct.

Trump promised on the campaign path and as president that he would remove taxes at overtime, the tips from service staff and social security for seniors, while he extended the corporate tax reduction implemented during his first term.

MP Jason Smith, R-Mo., Chairman of the tax-oriented House Ways and Means Committee, should meet Trump on Friday, politico first reported.

On Thursday, Johnson Republicans announced that according to Politico, they will not be able to pay tax cuts of 4.5 trillion dollars that they had previously targeted.

Trump suffered the idea of ​​a higher tax class for top earners on Wednesday in a phone call with Johnson, albeit with a carve-out for small companies, CNBC reported.

Trump also proposed to close the “worn interest gap”, a characteristic of the tax code used by Wall Street investors, reported NBC News.
