Every one gets a tax cut...except those that don't.
Personally, my tax cut will amount to a $0.75 per hour raise. Whoop de doo!
As for the average tax cut amount of $2,140...it's a prime example of statistics used too simply. If Bill Gates and I were the only two people in the same room, then the average per capita wealth in that room would be around $40 billion. That doesn't mean that I'm worth $40 billion.
Sell it however you need to, Republicans. Simple fact is that this "tax reform" is just the same as getting a cash advance on the federal credit card to allow people with a lot of money to keep even more money...but the bill for that advance will be born by all of us.
Privatize the tax cuts, socialize the resultant debt...that's what's going on here.
How is keeping more of your own money a "cash advance" from the government? You seem to think that the money YOU earn actually belongs to the government and they get to decide how much of it they want to give back to you. Thank god your ilk are not in control right now. Most of us happen to like keeping more of our own money. Except you. You're the exception.
But why cain't ah have a big tax refund like da rich guys gets? -- even though ah only know how to push a broom? -- and ah get tard of that real quick!
Ah need more money for pot, and ah want it NOW!

I'm getting a cut of something like $2k - 3k, for about 8 years or so. I'm not real happy about it considering what it's gonna cost me in the long run.
What’s it gonna cost you in the long run? And, what constitutes “long run”?
Why not be happy you will have more of YOUR money in YOUR pocket? Do you think Uncle Sam needs it more than you do? Good grief .... I’ve never seen so many who refuse to take yes for an answer, or complain about a decrease in theft.

Here's a brief history lesson for you - the federal government was created to provide a stable social order for all, and the power to tax everyone was specifically delegated to said government so that it could exist and function. A claim that the government doesn't have the power to claim some of your earning goes against the US Constitution. So, yes, what you earn isn't all "yours". That's the way the Founding Fathers set it up. What, you're going to tell us that George Washington was a socialist?
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.
Health insurance will also be much higher as a result of abolishing the mandate so freeloaders can jack up the healthcare costs for everyone.
