Exactly- it gives the poorest workers much less tax. But i think the middle pays more, if they are used to getting deductions on certain things , they won't get em any more. Or at least til the next improvement is legislated.

Looks like the bill will pass, but only 35% of taxpayers support it.....

Hard to believe that Rs are passing their Tax Cuts for the Rich bill that only a third of Americans support, is unlikely to bring about any economic growth, will run up the national, debt and pave the way for cuts to Social Security and Medicare.

Reagan's tax cuts, Bush's tax cuts, Oklahoma's tax cuts, Kansas' tax cuts ... all had a negative impact on our economy. No reason to believe this will be an different.

Rs ought to be ashamed of themselves.

After the GOP delivered us Trump, nothing is hard for me to believe anymore, and I mean nothing...
