NBC NEWS: Tax cuts are the hot new idea for Democrats

[Holy Crap, I'd go for this!--Idepedant97] ========================================== Sens. Cory Booker, D-N.J., and Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., recently rolled out sweeping tax cut plans. Booker seeks to create a federal tax exemption for up to $75,000 in income for married couples. Van Hollen wants to set that figure at $92,000. Both have been floated as potential 2028 presidential candidates. In California, progressive candidate for governor Katie Porter, a former Democratic congresswoman, is proposing to wipe out state income taxes for California families making up to $100,000 per year. In Georgia, gubernatorial candidate Keisha Lance Bottoms, a former mayor of Atlanta and Biden administration official, is campaigning on "eliminating state income taxes for teachers." The trend has sparked a "wonk revolt" uniting policy experts from the center to the left against the new trend, said Zach Moller, senior director of economic policy at the moderate Democratic group Third Way.

Booker is a sell out and desperate for relevance.

Porter isn't going to win California and her staying in the race will hurt democrats.

Sounds like desperation from democrats hoping for a victory.

Cutting taxes isn't the answer.

The answer is getting the wealthy to pay their share and using that money to build our country and help take care of our citizens.

If you taxed billionaires at a 100% it still wouldn't eliminate our deficit

How about the Democratic Party disentangling itself from Israel's ethnic cleansing for a start?
