Democrat tax policy would reverse the gains in jobs and economic growth

James Pinkerton:

...
As a Joint Economic Committee analysis recently found, “one million jobs have been created since tax reform was enacted.” Even The New York Times had to admit that it “ran out of words to describe how good the jobs numbers are.”

In the face of all this success, it may seem strange that top Democrats seek to reverse course. Yet on May 8, when Pelosi was asked if she wants to “raise taxes” by moving to “roll back the tax cuts that [Republicans] passed this year,” Pelosi responded: “that’s accurate.”

Okay, so it’s easy to see what Pelosi believes — that we should have higher taxes. Yet it’s harder to see how a tax hike would do anything other than harm the people that Pelosi purports to want to help.

With companies like Apple and Cisco repatriating billions of overseas dollars and with job-creating businesses like Broadcom moving back to the U.S., there are no bigger fans of the Pelosi plan than the countries with which we compete for jobs and investment capital.

Why wouldn’t our competitors cheer at the thought of the U.S. raising taxes and reverting back to our outdated tax system?

These are the stakes for the average American: The best way to determine the tax burden on April 15, 2019 — as well as the continuity of the thriving economy that tax reform has given us — will be to vote Republican on Nov. 6, 2018.

Yes, it’s really that simple: If the Democrats win, they will raise your taxes and diminish the economic boom; by contrast, if the Republicans win, they will preserve the tax cut, and thus our collective prosperity.

The question is whether voters can see through all the static the Democrats are creating in the media to hide this success.  Will their personal attacks on the President who laid the groundwork for this growth result in killing it?   That is their hope.
