If the baseline is whatever you say it is, what's the point of discussing it with you?

[WalterBright]

The baseline is the current tax rate.

[maxerickson]

The current tax rate for 2026?

[WalterBright]

The tax rate for the wealthy is the same in 2026 as in 2025 as in 2024.

[maxerickson]

[WalterBright]

Not buying that the tax rates staying the same is a tax cut.
