Indeed, but it does not become law without a President signing it into law. And, passing constitutionality through the judicial system, if necessary. FYI.

Omission is not ignorance. Don't be a snark.

I get it -- Trump fans want some kind of a win -- but at what price.

The deficit was a sore spot for 8 years and now it means nothing.

It's like people are willing to settle for garbage as long as it is their party selling it.
"It's like people are willing..."

I do NOT agree with your premise.

History has shown that when taxes are DECREASED, revenues to the fed INCREASE and the deficit and debt go DOWN.

I am not rich, but my taxes will be reduced under the new tax bill. I plan on giving more to charities.

Semantics, how does preferential tax treatment for special interests, does that sound better.

If it makes anyone feel better, once the Dems have the "holy trinity", the presidency and a majority in the House and Senate, they can just pass their own bill and raise the corporate tax back to where it was or even higher and raise taxes on the rich!

Yet, what about the 'pass through' business tax? What about raising the amount of income earned (the exemption) before the Alternative Minimum Tax kicks in?

You are correct, but you're wasting your time. Most who would read what you've posted and object to it are financially illiterate and have a dearth of knowledge about economics.
