Too bad you can't spend a month in the South. You'd discover the vast majority of people are very good people who work hard, pay taxes, raise families and don't use it to buy Jack Daniels. Why are so many Democrats or I should say liberals like yourself the most biased and most mean spirited individuals in this country? Do you have any idea what you sound like? Probably not.

No you are. I have family who work on Wall Street and hedge funds. They are the ones who will make out on this plan. Not by a measly 800 a year either. It seems some of you are all hyped up that middle class families struggling in blue states will be negatively effected. Not taking into consideration that say my cousin who usually gets a 2 million bonus will now be getting a 5 million bonus due to the additional net his fund makes. You think they are going to give it to the administrative assistant living pay check to pay check? Sure they may give her/him an extra 2k, that 2k can go straight to that persons credit card lol.
It’s the middle class being hurt here. Not the Uber rich, they are benefitting. Bigly.

How much SALT will your cousin pay, and not be able to deduct now? The top rate doesn't really even come down much, how can you say the wealthy will benefit?

All identity politics is based on stereotypes. Whether the stereotype of the country bumpkin Trump supporter is “nonsense” depends on which side of the aisle you’re on. You don’t seem as bothered by stereotypes about librul elites.

So, you’re claiming that a 10% tax cut will result in a 250% increase in your cousin’s bonus?

ROFLMAO!!!

He actually lives in Miami. And trust me the additional millions he will get will well make up for any SALT deduction. Even the Uber rich paying 150 in real estate taxes, the millions more they make will make that SALT deduction look like pennies.

Just a reminder, every time this Nation goes deeper into debt we all owe more and sooner or later we will have to pay the Piper.

In your zeal to shoot down her points, I don’t think you’ve actually considered how the performance of hedge fund managers is measured...

Do you have any idea how much 10 percent of what these hedge funds make per year is? Do you have any idea the stupid amount of money these people make?
