Regulations require revenue neutrality. In other words, if you get more taxes from some move, you have to balance it with less from somewhere else.

Losing the tax diversion from contributing to these plans will effectively cause a tax increase to many in the middle class.

Republicans are reportedly considering capping annual 401(k) contributions at $2,400 on a pre-tax basis, much lower than the current maximum contribution of $18,000 for 2017, and $18,500 for 2018.

I don't want to bore you with stats and polls, but I'm quite sure that outside of Russia, President Obama's favor ability rating far exceeds that of cheeto face.

He didn't take away my respect for the Presidency. He has reinforced it! Obama destroyed my respect for the office when he abused it. He took authority not granted him be the Constitution (Iran deal, Paris deal), and illegally created "law" (Obamacare subsidies) by E.O.

Trump has done none of those things.

He's taking away their dream to be their own business owner. How many will be forced to work for someone else (rather than become self employed) because Trump is purposely sabotoging ACA which has increased premiums drastically for self-pay people.
Seriously? Premiums have been skyrocketing without trumps EOs. He is trying to rein in in the out of control costs despite Obama’s lie about how premiums will decrease. You need to leave that alternative reality you live in.

This is all being done through Congress though, which is legal. Congress creates the tax code, not Trump.

Depends on whether you are asking socialist regimes or people who value Liberty. Trump isn't a socialist, so of course people like Merkel aren't going to give him a good favorability rating. Who cares?

Plenty of leaders were glad to see Obama gone.
