LOL at Libs who complain about taxes going up.

The Tax bill called Obamacare is costing many of us thousands of dollars a year. You didn't seem to give a crap about that huge increase in taxes.

The word is out, taxes go up on the middle, the POTUS gets a 41% lowering.

Individual health ins. goes up 10%
Jobs increase 0.6%, incomes increase 0.8%, These are over 10 years.

So growth slows down.

The coming decrease in state and federal spending leads to higher local taxes. So sales, real estate, property and all those nice fees the GOP like to add on.

In my county the local GOP controlled commissioners are attending Board of Ed. meetings telling them that to expect less state and federal aid. Guess what you will see an increase in your taxes which will be far larger then what ever the GOP claims you will pay.
Simple math less people paying means higher amounts to pay.

That is a lie. Stop repeating it.

Market prices are set by what people are willing to pay.

Corporate taxes go to zero you won't see a penny decrease in costs to consumer.

They've already shown what they're willing to pay.

No one knows what is in this bill, right now.


Not clear to me if approved if this impacts 2017 incomes or 2018? Anyone know the intent?

If they don't live in high SALT areas they do and if the House Bill passes due to the lower percentages, they would with the pass through income.

The IRS calls it a "Standard Deduction" because it's exactly the same for all Tax filers at all income levels.
The Tax Forms are all exactly alike - the deductions are printed on the forms - rich/middle/poor all use the same forms. Am I the only one that actually does their own taxes around here?

Total Nonsense to say that the "rich" get a bigger Standard Deduction ..... or it's just another Leftist LIE?
