I think the end result for me will be a higher cost of living (housing especially), I'll draw Social Security later in life, I'll be required to spend more on healthcare, and a I'll have higher tax rate in ~15 years.
There is also likely to be higher crime as well as higher state and local taxes.
A blue wave is coming in a big way. I'm not sure that it'll be enough to flip the Senate (it may be...especially with Alabama blue until 2021), but its coming.
This tax reform is the GOP's attempt to keep the wave at bay. But who remembers what happened the last time one party controlled the Executive and Legislative branch and forced through a very unpopular piece of legislation? How did that work out for them?
Thats just a talking point to open up for poisoning the air, water and food which is a red herring in this discussion. We see massive consolidation and monopolistic tendencies in industry after industry now. Its likely that this tax break for the rich, pushed through by well-heeled donor class elites, will accelerate that trend.
I wouldn’t doubt that someone like yourself with zero knowledge of business or regulations would jump to such nonsense.
The tax cut is basically meaningless for working middle-class families because of rising healthcare costs.
Employer-based health insurance costs are forecast to rise in 2018 by the most since 2011, at 4.3*percent,
and overall medical costs will be up 6.5*percent.
Assuming those increases are passed along to workers, they would eat up half of the $910 tax cut received next year by households with income between $55,000 and $93,000 and all of the tax cut received by households earning $27,000 to $54,000."
Leave it to the liberals to cry about getting more money. Hilarious.
The middle class is getting pittance. My family will get a substantial increase which we don't need. This bill is so unfair to the middle class. It's the Trump supporters who will suffer the most.

With a little luck the Republicans can replace Obamacare with something that working families can actually afford, instead of a disaster where premiums rise by 20-50% a year.

I'm pretty sure you're on your own because that's not a priority with your guys.
