Oh, they won't care. You will get smarmy comments like:"If you don't like it MOVE!"
No matter if you have a home, a life, a job, parents, friends, churches, etc.
Just move to where they are - because the state that they live in is the only "correct" one.
Yup. Thanks indeed.
Be careful around here though - if you are not jumping into the pit with the rest, you might be labeled a heretic.
Congress will never do anything to reduce the debt. It just isn't in their DNA. Everything they will ever do will always be about their own bottom line at the expense of the nation, and there is no situation so bad the can't make it worse.
Furthermore, who works for these corporations?
Us!
Who has money invested in 401K and equities pegged to the
success of these corporations?
Guess who!
So who needs corporations to be profitable
and incented to expand and hire?
You tell me!
That was a nice crumb they were so generous to throw our way.
The problem with it is that state and local deductions are fully taken away from us (read: made illegal).
Therefore, if you itemize, you won't get state and local. So you are stuck with the standard deduction.
The problem with the "doubling" of the standard deduction is that they are also eliminating (read: made illegal) the personal exemption. So it really isn't a "doubling" at all.
“Really? You are unable to fathom that analogy?”
Trying to conflate the tax bill with Obamacare is nonsense. You seem to be of the mind that somehow those who were screwed by Obamacare are the same folks who with somehow be similarly affected by a tax reform package that isn’t even complete enough to assess. We are ALL affected by government to one degree or another, but you seem to be of the mind that change adversely affects you preferentially. Maybe you should see what the final product looks like?
I don’t recall that ever being a campaign issue right?
When I hear that argument I really try to picture what people here really WANT.
Do you possess the capacity to read?
I was right - you don’t know what an analogy is.
You paying more does not mean you are subsidizing other tax payers. That is a ridiculous concept. We(taxpayers) are all getting screwed some, some now less so then others, but it is all one big screw job.
I believe in business freedom not business control.
Nigel Farage had a business career and he has a media business career going now.
He likes capitalism but he doesn’t like Corporatism with big corporations, big banks and big business colluding.
They work together to shut the little business people out.
I think see that influence on this tax legislation.
of course MAGA has nothing to do with this, but don’t let the facts get in your way...
There is a primary between now and the general election. Did you forget that?
Catowner said this:
So is raising the standard deductions while eliminating the exemptions. Also, maxing out property tax deductions at $10,000 is almost pointless for couples filing jointly. What other deductions are going to get them over the $24,000 standard deduction for joint filing?
And he/she is correct.
That isn't a "win" for many of us.
Have you read the bill to know what is included in it?
If you ain't about MAGA you on the wrong side. Bye now, looking forward to your eventual opus.
which of your deductions are you whining about??
Really?
A centerpiece of MAGA was middle class tax relief.
For millions of us, this is a tax increase.
