That would be me cause My taxes will be going down not up.I live a simple life and don't need massive writeoffs and other gov supported debt relief.I buy what I can afford not what I can borrow just to have.Life is so easy when you haven't sold your soul to the loan and scam economy and have no debt yet are forced to subsidize those who do.Enjoy your life.I enjoy Mine

Revised tax bill will be voted on TOMORROW. New bill, new stuff....we are debating something we know nothing about -- just like the politicians.

Why do we let this happen?

I can assure you if this passes, those congressmen will be praying to baby jesus that a market correction doesn't happen until after 2018 elections.
Exactly. If this passes, it's the beginning of the end.

I've been hearing on CNBC a few times now from fairly credible investment guys the bull market ends next summer, latest. Actually, that would coincide with what is usually a summer slump anyway. But if the downtick gains traction, it could be pretty bad by November. I've seen three-four year gains this past twelve months, so I'm watching very carefully. If a downtick appears imminent, I'm out. I pulled out just ahead of the 2008 crash, too, so was spared that pain.

How do you pay 0 taxes? And don't pull a Trump and say it's because you are smart.

Because that is how the reconciliation process works. The house and senate pass their own bills, they go back to committee and try to work out a compromise that both can live with, then put the compromise bill up for a vote. How would you have the process work?

Pretty simple-kids. Married filing joint, with 77k income and 4 kids pays zero, at least under the new plan. I didn't run the numbers on current law.

ETA, currently with that income and 4 kids one would pay a little over $1k.

Hahahaha - Turns out Mnuchin's promise of 100 people at Treasury working on numbers to support their projections has turned into hot air - just like his hotair boss.

No one at Treasury has any projections - and none were delivered today to Corker and others, as previously promised, all of whom wanted to see some justification for this fraud.

Hahahahahaha - so now, McConnell has delayed the bill until 11 a.m. tomorrow so they can get their ducks in a row tonight and figure out how work around the lack of evidence that this fraud is beneficial to the taxpayer.

Lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies. My god, there should be a way to prosecute these crooks for insisting on passing legislation they KNOW is detrimental to the country.

Isn't there a law??? Malfeasance in office or something???
