You want to increase taxes on millions in the middle class, and dictate that the SALT deductions be eliminated or capped, but also other deductions completely eliminated (adoptive parents, medical expenses, etc) so that the corporations can get a massive tax break.

Oh, and the evil SALT deductions you hate so much? Both the House and Senate bills allow the corporations to keep those full deductions. The "math" works out that in order to give away the store to the GOP donors and corporations, we screw the middle class.

Got it. Gee, thanks a lot.

Tax reform should be passed after there are massive cuts in spending.

“You want to increase taxes on millions in the middle class”

What I want, and what the POINT of this is, is to make voters in high tax states like CA understand what it is TRULY costing them.

The only way the Salt tax burden is fair to those of living in states don’t spend wildly and iiresponsibly, is to give a LARGER Salt deduction to make up the difference.

Ridiculous insults notwithstanding, When you FEEL the burden, maybe you’ll get off your but and DO something about it, instead of whining about it on an obscure message board?

The middle class doesn’t pay higher taxes under the bills except in high tax states. Those high tax state tax payers are effectively being subsidized by people in the low tax states.

We need a corporate tax cut for economic growth. The stock market has been rising rapidly since Trump won in significant part because of expectations for a corporate tax cut. The stock market tanked today after Johnson made his statement.

You seem to be echoing the typical Democrat/socialist theme of corporations being evil or something.
