the individual cuts could very well be renewed, that isn't the reason the bill is ultimately for the very rich. i never said anything about the expiration date.

 

But if the poor are still paying no taxes, and the middle incomes are paying less taxes, and the top earners are paying more taxes with the new bill.... how is the bill “ultimately for the very rich”??

My facts are straight.
My thoughts on voting themselves a tax break aren't fit for this forum. 
Sanders and Warren aren't spreading falsity at all, unless you have a crystal ball and can predict the future you have no idea what the economy will do,

 

Warren and Sanders are just upset that their taxes will be increasing, while the majority of us will see a reduced level of taxes for the next 10 years.

Oh well I’m glad you know their personal feelings. Here I thought they may be upset over their constituents loss of deductions, healthcare, and increased deficit.

They are Democrats, so what do they care about deficits?  I mean I don’t remember them saying much about the astronomical rise over the past eight years.  Also, who lost their healthcare due to the tax bill?

It is a great bill for upper-middle class with kids. Awesome bill if you live in a State with no income tax like Florida or Texas.

And for low-income families.

 

Could be good for some passthrough businesses.

 

I did many simulations and I found that all salaried millionaires in high-tax States are going to pay more. Not much, but definitely more.

What makes it so good for zero income tax states?  I missed that little tidbit...

Oh, I seriously doubt they care one iota about their constituents.  Especially pocahontas.  She’s already desmonstrated she will lie to benefit herself.

 

Loss of deductions, eh?  Where did you come up with that info?

My tax pro is guiding me to prepay property taxes based on new caps in deductions. So going forward, my local taxes will be paid with after tax money.

I got a chance to watch the celebration up on the Hill. Incredible bill! Not only are taxes going to get cut for the majority of Americans…We are going to start drilling in that wasteland called ANWAR, the failed Obamacare individual mandate has been eliminated and the estate tax has been rightfully butchered. 

 

Even the anti Trump RINOs are starting to say..Make America Great Again.  I feel today was the breaking out party of the greatest POTUS in my lifetime.

 

Welfare reform sounds like it could happen next year. 

 

What a time to be alive!!!!

I am not sure what you have against the estate tax. Probably one of the fairest taxes ever come up with. Personally I would like to see property taxes eliminated, and estate taxes increased.

You pay taxes your whole life. When you die they get to tax you again?  It reeks of communism and socialism.  No thanks. So happy the estate tax got destroyed even though it will never affect me.
