Amen. But didn’t we say this during the campaign?
The tax bill is ok, and great in some respects ( business tax). It needs to be passed.
“It needs to be passed.”
Would you be as anxious for its passage if YOUR taxes were going up by several thousand dollars per year?
That’s what is going to happen to several million middle class taxpayers on the coasts. You know, the people that are already supporting the federal government.
I think a lot of the griping you hear would be covered by a return of personal exemptions- but they need to not “pay” for them. All the “pay for them” requirement means is that Congress picks winners and losers.
The s8mple fact is that Congress wants to keep the paper revenue levels because they get Uber-wealthy from kickbacks and bribes from dolling out that revenue to special interests in government spending.
