During the present administration, have the President and Congress raised or lowered taxes?

Answer 1

Bush lowered taxes and revenues increased, as they always do when taxes are lowered. All the Democratic candidates have promised to raise taxes and strengthen their stranglehold on the American taxpayer.

Answer 2

they have lowered taxes . You can tell this because instead of having 200 billion dollar surpluses we now have 400 billion dollar deficits. The government is forced to print money to make up for this short fall. Meaning your money is getting worth less and less ! Think about how much prices have gone up in the past 7 years and then ask yourself if cutting taxes is really a good thing !

Answer 3

The President lowered taxes. The Democrats didn't like that idea so they will be raising taxes if they get back in the White House. Hillary already said she is raising our taxes. And don't think she is just talking about rich people, she is talking about you!

Answer 4

this is a complicated question. this administration did lower the most taxes and increased tax revenue, but having to fund two wars has increased the overall tax burden for the country as a whole.

Answer 5

They've lowered taxes, but most of the cuts (in terms of cash value) went to the richest, with everyone else getting a very modest break.

Answer 6

decreased. The decrease value is meant to run out quickly, and the President has as Congress to amplify the decrease value. so a approaches the Demos have refused to amplify the decrease value. in the event that they do no longer you would be seeing larger taxes.

Answer 7

Lowered. For all people who pay taxes.

Answer 8

lowered tax rates, increased tax revenue.
