President Donald Trump offered several diverse messages when the Republican party gave a final touch to their tax proposal, saying on Friday that he would support the rise to the richest tax to help pay their extensive legislative agenda while adding with the same breath that his belief that “might not do it.”
The problem even with a ‘small’ tax increase for the rich, which I and all others will be graceful can be accepted to help low -income workers, is that radical crazy people leave the Democratic crazy person will go around, ‘read my lips,’ there is nothing to wear by people who do not have to be worn in the Republic. Trump wrote on A post on the social media platform.

Press Secretary of the White House Karoline Leavitt said Trump’s position to raise taxes for the rich “very honorable” during the White House press briefing.
“The President himself said he would not mind paying a little more to help the poor and the middle class and the working class in this country,” Leavitt said. “This negotiation is taking place in Capitol Hill and the President will weigh when he feels the need.”

The ambiguous presidential declaration has thrown negotiator into a panic struggle – with the united and homemade committee that is expected to mark their law next week.
The inclusion of tax increases in the “Big Bill, Indah” will be the main reversal for GOP House leaders, who argue that allowing the current tax rate will end in an increase in tax.
“I do not support raising tax rates because of that – our party is a group that opposes it, traditionally,” speaker Mike Johnson said in an interview at Fox News at the end of April.
During his reception speech at the Republican National Convention in 1992, the ruling president George HW Bush said the famous sentence, “my lips read: There is no new tax.” The voters finally rejected Bush in the ballot box after he violated his oath and signed the law made by the Democrats of the congress which increased tax revenue to overcome the increasing budget deficit.
