Unlike the House draft, the Senate tax bill eliminates Obamacare’s individual mandate to purchase health insurance.

7 brackets? This is just tinkering, not reform.

Jeff Flake got a concession that the Senate will pursue “a permanent solution for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) illegal aliens”.

I wonder if the senator got a clear definition of ‘permanent solution’. (I hope it means that the ‘dear little ones’ will get a permanent deportation solution.)

I’ll hold the celebration to see the end result that lands on Trump’s desk. Republicans in Congress are too likely to roll on key provisions, plus it is a bit fuzzy at the moment anyway.

Let’s see what reconciliation brings

I’d be happy for them to get the corporate down, to get offshore money back, and eliminate the death tax. Everything beyond that is a bonus

Then when we get rid of Yertle and Jon Ossoff’s body double maybe we can real reform....like a fair tax

Here’s hoping that the House/Senate Conference produces, even, better Tax Reform Legislation!

Stock market would have crucified the senate repubs if they did not pass something by years end

But this should be once and for all good news for the economy which should ensure a second trump term presuming the deep state does not try to pull. another jfk

A good step forward.

But we should never be satisfied until the IRS is abolished for all time, its every office razed to the ground, the wreckage burned to cinders and the ground sown with salt.

No anticipated revenue for politicians to count on. Make the government tighten its belt like the rest of us.

And wipe out the income brackets. Let whatever method is used - income, sales tax, anything else - be applied fairly and equally across the board. Take away the class division that the liberals constantly exploit.

If he can pull all that off in the next seven years, Trump will have earned that last spot on Mount Rushmore.

Still, this is a good start.

Good on Obamacare mandate, but I don’t believe this is really reform. The GOPe watered it down. SALT allows high tax states to keep it up at Federal expense. Where’s the 15% tax Trump wanted for business?

without lower tax rates, why bother with this bill....we may pay more, we may pay a little less....at least they could have lowered the tax rates..

Good news! You can see Democrats crying about it here. Vile creatures.

If Collins got her way on SALT, though, that’s a bad thing.

Gee, I feel like gloating a little and I don’t mind if I do...Obamacare cost me all of $77 for one month of not having health insurance in December of 2015.

President Trump:

Want to really lower taxes?

Allow each worker to work completely tax free one year in 6 through out their working lifetime. A reduction of 16.67 %
across the board.

All the deductions and other niceties placed for special interests remain.

Great news.

Let’s hope the tax cutting idea spreads north of the border and reaches our “conservative” politicians here in Canada.

I don’t trust this. When McConnell and Ryan produce a Senate-House combined bill, I suspect that the mandate and other monstrosities will be back.

I’ll take it. It beats hell out of the Muslim taxes inflicted on US citizens by the rat party. The one downside is the SALT deductions still force states with reasonable taxes to subsidize the high tax states. CA! IL! NY! and NJ continue to pay way under their fair share of federal taxes. We owe a huge debt of thanks to Republicans, with the exception of the Maine beotch.
