A higher bracket is possible through Congressional action. The Trump Tax Plan https://assets.donaldjtrump.com/trump-tax-reform.pdfThe Standard Deduction (as in non-itemized) will double. $12k for singles, $24k married.Alternative Minimum (AMT)is removedIncreased Child Tax Credit (Under age of 17)Adult Dependent tax credit of $500Removal of the Estate Tax (or as they would like the american farmer to believe, the Death tax)Deductions for State Income Tax are going away (Double taxation on income??)Corporate Tax Rate is being cut from 35% to 20%S-Corp an small business taxes are capped at 25%How they propose to be “Fiscally responsible” and “The Trump tax cuts are fully paid for by”:Reducing or eliminating deductions and loopholes available to the very rich, starting by steepening the curve of the Personal Exemption Phaseout and the Pease Limitation on itemized deductions. The Trump plan also phases out the tax exemption on life insurance interest for high-income earners, ends the current tax treatment of carried interest for speculative partnerships that do not grow businesses or create jobs and are not risking their own capital, and reduces or eliminates other loopholes for the very rich and special interests. These reductions and eliminations will not harm the economy or hurt the middle class. Because the Trump plan introduces a new business income rate within the personal income tax code, they will not harm small businesses either. A one-time deemed repatriation of corporate cash held overseas at a significantly discounted 10% tax rate. Since we are making America’s corporate tax rate globally competitive, it is only fair that corporations help make that move fiscally responsible. U.S.-owned corporations have as much as $2.5 trillion in cash sitting overseas. Some companies have been leaving cash overseas as a tax maneuver. Under this plan, they can bring their cash home and put it to work in America while benefitting from the newly-lowered corporate tax rate that is globally competitive and no longer requires parking cash overseas. Other companies have cash overseas for specific business units or activities. They can leave that cash overseas, but they will still have to pay the one-time repatriation fee. An end to the deferral of taxes on corporate income earned abroad. Corporations will no longer be allowed to defer taxes on income earned abroad, but the foreign tax credit will remain in place because no company should face double taxation. Reducing or eliminating some corporate loopholes that cater to special interests, as well as deductions made unnecessary or redundant by the new lower tax rate on corporations and business income. We will also phase in a reasonable cap on the deductibility of business interest expenses.2.

When he made up the terrorist attack in Sweden at his rally, he was referencing something he vaguely heard on the Tucker Carlson’s show on Fox News.Day 31 Sunday 2/19/2017 According to the Wall Street Journal, Trump’s people are looking into changing the way the U.S. trade deficit is calculated,Day 32 Monday 2/20/2017 Trump has named army Lieutenant General H.R. McMaster to the post of National Security Adviser to fill the role vacated by the departing Flynn.Day 33 Tuesday 2/21/2017 The Washington Post has tallied up the Trump lies for the first 33 days of his administration, and they average roughly four per day.Day 33 Tuesday 2/21/2017 Calexit, the effort being lead to precipitate the secession of California from the United States …is being lead by a man with significant, comprehensive, horrifically worrying ties to and basis in Russia. From all appearances, it would seem that Russia is attempting a multi-pronged approach to crack the United States of America in half.Day 34 Wednesday 2/22/2017 Trump Rescinds Rules on Bathrooms for Transgender Students: Mr. Trump sided with his attorney general, the Republicans said, and told Ms. DeVos in a meeting in the Oval Office on Tuesday that he wanted her to drop her opposition.

According to the article by the Los Angeles Times, therapists report that the last time so many people wanted to discuss the same traumatic issue it was the attacks of September 11th, 2001. Trump is as damaging to the national psyche as 9/11, medically.Day 36 Friday 2/24/2017 Trump establishes “reform officers” in government agencies, responsible for imposing the administration’s agenda and pursuing his “regulatory priorities going forward”.Day 36 Friday 2/24/2017 Leaked GOP Obamacare replacement shrinks subsidies, Medicaid expansionThe replacement would be paid for by limiting tax breaks on generous health plans people get at work.http://www.politico.com/story/2017/02/house-republicans-obamacare-repeal-package-235343http://www.politico.com/f/?id=0000015a-70de-d2c6-a7db-78ff707e0000If you’ve enjoyed what we do here and would like to help us out, there are a few ways.You can donate to the show through www.Patreon.com/orlyradio and get early access to full show content.Make the Algorithm work for us by reviewing us on iTunes to boost our ranking.Use your Words and tell someone about us.And of course, engage us!

ORLY-EP0145A - When to fight, when to run Welcome to ORLYRADIO #145 recorded Friday February 24th, 2017 - where we dismantle the current events for your edutainment through mostly rational conversations that make you go ‘Oh Really’! I’m your host Andy Cowen, with my usual suspects, Stephen Griffith, Amber Biesecker, Fred Sims, Daniel Atherton, and JP.Audience Feedback From Previous Shows: From listener Kristen R.Hello. I liked the discussion that went on in this episode and wanted to contribute with two questions.The first question is: When is violence the appropriate answer?Every time I ask this question, people immediately snap back with "Violence is NEVER the answer! NEVER!!!" I feel that this is a short sighted answer with no thought or consideration put into it.How bad would things have to get before violence becomes the appropriate answer? What kind of events or situations would that look like which would warrant a violent response?My second question is: When is it time to flee the country? How bad would things have to get before the decision to flee becomes essential? What would have to happen that would cause you to start packing up and flee right now?(for me personally, it would be the beginning construction of a US/Canada border wall and/or the sanctioned arrests of LGBT people, the community which I belong to)I'm sorry to do this, but I must invoke Godwin's Law of citing Nazi Germany. Our country has some initial parallels of how things became bad there and how things are becoming bad here. I'm curious if the German citizens of that time had similar discussions. How bad would things have to get before they fled or became violent?Personally, several friends, acquaintances, and I of the LGBT community have been making plans to flee just in case. We're gathering supplies, planning our routes, amassing arms and ammunition for hunting/self defense, and building our long term bug-out bags.Each person has specialist roles that will help the group as a whole. We currently have a carpentry & construction person, a medical first aid person, a radio & electronics person, a hunter/trapper/fisherman person, an herbalist plant person, a defense/offense person, and several general labor people.Hopefully we won't need it, but it's better to have and not need rather than to need and not have. We're watching the news closely for if and when we need to go.We make mistakes.

I’m your host Andy Cowen, with my usual suspects, David O’Connor, Daniel Atherton, Amber Biesecker, Jason Watson and Paul Castaneda.Audience Feedback From Previous Shows: We make mistakes.

Below, NPR reporters and editors from the politics team and other coverage areas have annotated Trump's plan. We've added context on several of his proposals, including whether he can really repeal Obamacare and what a hiring freeze on the federal workforce would actually look like. You can see a nonannotated version of "Donald Trump's Contract With The American Voter" here.http://www.npr.org/2016/11/10/501597652/fact-check-donald-trumps-first-100-days-action-plan#The Donald’s DesireCan It Happen?Why?Six measures to clean up the corruption and special interest collusion in Washington, DC1* FIRST, propose a Constitutional Amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress;NopeSenate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said“it will not be on the agenda in the Senate” and "I would say we have term limits now — they're called elections."2* SECOND, a hiring freeze on all federal employees to reduce federal workforce through attrition (exempting military, public safety, and public health);Maybe / unlikelyif he wants to hire more Immigration and Customs Enforcement patrol officers, it seems unlikely he will be able to shrink the federal workforce much through attrition, as retirement rates average around 3.5 percent a year3* THIRD, a requirement that for every new federal regulation, two existing regulations must be eliminated; Trump, at one campaign stop said 70 percent of regulations "can go”.Maybe / unlikelyDuring the campaign he said he wanted to "get rid of" the Dodd-Frank law that reshaped the banking industry after the 2008 recession.one possibility would be to try to eliminate the so-called Volcker rule, which prohibits banks from making risky investmentsFederal Communications Commission ruling that protects net neutrality.Repeal a regulation that makes more workers eligible for overtime.4* FOURTH, a 5 year-ban on White House and Congressional officials becoming lobbyists after they leave government service;Maybe / unlikelyMaybe a tough request for Congress, where plum lobbying jobs are seen as a payoff for the sacrifice of public service.5* FIFTH, a lifetime ban on White House officials lobbying on behalf of a foreign government;Maybe / LikelySame as above, but less risk for the law makers.6* SIXTH, a complete ban on foreign lobbyists raising money for American elections.Maybe / unlikelyFollow the money… They rather like money.On the same day, I will begin taking the following 7 actions to protect American workers:7* FIRST, I will announce my intention to renegotiate NAFTA or withdraw from the deal under Article 2205UnlikelyEswar Prasad, professor of trade policy at Cornell University said. "Could NAFTA be killed? Not in letter, but in spirit — yes,"8* SECOND, I will announce our withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific PartnershipLikely9* THIRD, I will direct my Secretary of the Treasury to label China a currency manipulatorYesWords10* FOURTH, I will direct the Secretary of Commerce and U.S. Trade Representative to identify all foreign trading abuses that unfairly impact American workers and direct them to use every tool under American and international law to end those abuses immediatelyYesWords11* FIFTH, I will lift the restrictions on the production of $50 trillion dollars' worth of job-producing American energy reserves, including shale, oil, natural gas and clean coal.Likely12* SIXTH, lift the Obama-Clinton roadblocks and allow vital energy infrastructure projects, like the Keystone Pipeline, to move forwardLikelyA Trump administration could greenlight the project by granting TransCanada Corp the permit.13* SEVENTH, cancel billions in payments to U.N. climate change programs and use the money to fix America's water and environmental infrastructureYesThe Paris Accords are voluntary, and were to be visited in two years and increase in action levels at each meeting. Pretty sure Billions were never spent for what this claims.Additionally, on the first day, I will take the following five actions to restore security and the constitutional rule of law:14* FIRST, cancel every unconstitutional executive action, memorandum and order issued by President ObamaYesNothing prevents a POTUS from eliminating other POTUS’s Executive Orders. This should be read as remove the ones that aren’t beneficial to me and my rich buds.15* SECOND, begin the process of selecting a replacement for Justice Scalia from one of the 20 judges on my list, who will uphold and defend the Constitution of the United StatesYesHe just has to pick one that the Senate approves of.16* THIRD, cancel all federal funding to Sanctuary CitiesMaybeSanctuary cities are American cities that have policies protecting immigrants in the country illegally from federal immigration law, such as restricting police from turning them over to federal agents. Trump has not said which federal funds would be withheld from sanctuary cities. A few of these cities are Seattle, Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami and Austin. Even removing Federal funds may not change the cities stance.17* FOURTH, begin removing the more than 2 million criminal illegal immigrants from the country and cancel visas to foreign countries that won't take them backYesWithout the approval of Congress, a President Trump could instruct his immigration agents to round up every immigrant convicted of a crime and deport them all. There are currently 23 countries considered “recalcitrant” by ICE because they will not accept criminal aliens sent home from the U.S. -- among them Afghanistan, Cuba, Iran and Zimbabwe. Trump could instruct his State Department to withhold visas for the citizens of these countries unless they agree to accept their deportees.18* FIFTH, suspend immigration from terror-prone regions where vetting cannot safely occur. All vetting of people coming into our country will be considered extreme vetting.Maybe / LikelyA simple Executive order *should* be able to make this plan a reality. Next, I will work with Congress to introduce the following broader legislative measures and fight for their passage within the first 100 days of my Administration:19Middle Class Tax Relief And Simplification Act. An economic plan designed to grow the economy 4% per year and create at least 25 million new jobs through massive tax reduction and simplification, in combination with trade reform, regulatory relief, and lifting the restrictions on American energy. The largest tax reductions are for the middle class. A middle-class family with 2 children will get a 35% tax cut. The current number of brackets will be reduced from 7 to 3, and tax forms will likewise be greatly simplified. The business rate will be lowered from 35 to 15 percent, and the trillions of dollars of American corporate money overseas can now be brought back at a 10 percent rate.Maybe / LikelyIt will require help through the House. Will they go for it? It is more likely that they will but Paul Ryan may have a few things to say about his tax plan, as he has far fewer ways to bring in revenue than will be required to balance the budget much less pay down deficit spending much less the actual debt. - AC20End The Offshoring Act. Establishes tariffs to discourage companies from laying off their workers in order to relocate in other countries and ship their products back to the U.S. tax-free.Maybe...S.3816 - Creating American Jobs and Ending Offshoring Act111th Congress (2009-2010), would have done this and did not get enough votes to pass. Trying again may work.https://www.congress.gov/bill/111th-congress/senate-bill/3816 21American Energy & Infrastructure Act. Leverages public-private partnerships, and private investments through tax incentives, to spur $1 trillion in infrastructure investment over 10 years. It is revenue neutral.Maybe...What’s in it? $1,000,000,000,000 is a lot of money, especially to be revenue neutral, to claim. It smells of hyperbole, though we do need such an investment...22School Choice And Education Opportunity Act. Redirects education dollars to give parents the right to send their kid to the public, private, charter, magnet, religious or home school of their choice. Ends common core, brings education supervision to local communities. It expands vocational and technical education, and make 2 and 4-year college more affordable.And more on his education plans:http://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2016/09/25/494740056/donald-trumps-plan-for-americas-schools Not likelyFUCK. Please no… just no...Learning standards, including the Common Core, are adopted (and replaced) at the state level, and the new federal education law, ESSA, will make it very difficult for Trump to change that. http://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2016/11/10/501426803/can-president-trump-get-rid-of-common-core How will he pay for it? Not with new money, he has been clear, but “redirects education dollars” is vague. The fact is, much of the money the U.S. government spends in schools goes to districts that serve low-income, at-risk students. Under Trump’s plan, at least some of the Title I dollars would likely end up going to more affluent districts or leaving the public system entirely.23Repeal and Replace Obamacare Act. Fully repeals Obamacare and replaces it with Health Savings Accounts, the ability to purchase health insurance across state lines, and lets states manage Medicaid funds. Reforms will also include cutting the red tape at the FDA: there are over 4,000 drugs awaiting approval, and we especially want to speed the approval of life-saving medications.Maybe...He will have the support of the house and senate. But there are things in the law that will take time, Years… So, I suspect we will see a rebranding of services not really a repeal since they have no idea how to do that. Insurance companies are going to make out like bandits.24Affordable Childcare and Eldercare Act. Allows Americans to deduct childcare and elder care from their taxes, incentivizes employers to provide on-side childcare services, and creates tax-free Dependent Care Savings Accounts for both young and elderly dependents, with matching contributions for low-income families.Maybe...This will be confusing for elders and only benefits insurance companies as you contribute money to these and then they make it hard to be reimbursed and don’t allow it all to roll over and you love the money and they pocket it. So of course they will pass it. 25End Illegal Immigration Act Fully-funds the construction of a wall on our southern border with the full understanding that the country Mexico will be reimbursing the United States for the full cost of such wall; establishes a 2-year mandatory minimum federal prison sentence for illegally re-entering the U.S. after a previous deportation, and a 5-year mandatory minimum for illegally re-entering for those with felony convictions, multiple misdemeanor convictions or two or more prior deportations; also reforms visa rules to enhance penalties for overstaying and to ensure open jobs are offered to American workers first.Mostly no.Mexico will never pay for a wall. WALLSINO ©201626Restoring Community Safety Act. Reduces surging crime, drugs and violence by creating a Task Force On Violent Crime and increasing funding for programs that train and assist local police; increases resources for federal law enforcement agencies and federal prosecutors to dismantle criminal gangs and put violent offenders behind bars.UnlikelyIt would raise taxes… Most law enforcement money comes from local municipalities. 27Restoring National Security Act. Rebuilds our military by eliminating the defense sequester and expanding military investment; provides Veterans with the ability to receive public VA treatment or attend the private doctor of their choice; protects our vital infrastructure from cyber-attack; establishes new screening procedures for immigration to ensure those who are admitted to our country support our people and our valuesUnlikely2011 Budget Control Act, which imposed automatic, across-the-board spending restrictions, since it was first passed. Repealing it even with Republican majorities in both houses of Congress would require new consensus about exempting both defense and nondefense spending from the restrictions, as well as an agreement about how to pay for any new spending that Trump proposes.His VA proposal sounds a lot like the Veterans Choice program that Congress enacted after high-profile VA scandals in 2014, one that enables veterans to go outside the VA system.28Clean up Corruption in Washington Act. Enacts new ethics reforms to Drain the Swamp and reduce the corrupting influence of special interests on our politics.unlikely.Drain the Swamp? Really? I hope it happens, but until I see what’s in it, it’s garbage.Personal Picks: Andy’s: The Rogue's Ring http://www.scamstuff.com/collections/front-page/products/the-rogues-ringDaniel’s: https://www.litographs.com/David’s: Lumen project.Jason’s : Break From the Grind Podcast http://bftgpodcast.podbean.com/Acknowledgements: Music: "Rocket and Pamgaea” by Kevin MacLeod (www.incompetech.com)
