What is really going to hurt is when the cuts in deductions takes you from a current low bracket to the next higher bracket under the old rates. I am barely in the current 10% bracket and I might slide up into a 25% (?) bracket in the old rates. A big chunk of that is lost deductions under Obamacare rules.

Now the amount I pay in taxes is paltry compared to my income, but I don't feel any inclination to pay more anytime soon. Right now the biggest money spending department in the government is HHS. DOD is number three and within a few years we will spend more on financing the debt than we do on defending the country. Why buy more smack for a heroin addict that keeps promising to go into treatment, but they just need one more hit.
