Trump touts plan for 'major, major tax cuts' and praises Democrat in North Dakota
In a speech at a North Dakota oil refinery on Wednesday, Donald Trump touted his plans for major tax cuts – and praised a Democratic senator vulnerable to defeat in the 2018 midterms.
Trump flew in from Washington DC with Heidi Heitkamp, a top Republican target in a state the president won with 63% of the vote. On stage in Mandan, Trump praised Heitkamp, a moderate Democrat, as “a good woman”.
Such praise followed Trump’s agreement earlier in the day to a Democratic proposal for short-term extensions on the debt ceiling and government funding, a move which left congressional Republicans stunned.
In the main part of his speech, Trump outlined his four “basic principles” in his effort to reform the US tax code. The president emphasized “major, major tax cuts [for individuals], the biggest since Ronald Reagan” and an effort to cut “the business tax rate as much as possible, ideally [to] around 15%”. The top corporate tax rate is currently 35%.

Maybe that f*cking refinery should pay a carbon tax for causing the droughts and the hurricane, since they all ready get a f*cking tax break, and lets' not the Lakota for the soon to be oil spill near the Standing Rock Sioux reservation...............
