so hard to stop him in 2016.


What amazes me is how the Republicans and their pundits are
proclaiming that 80 percent or more of the population will benefit
from a tax cut
due to the Tax Cut and Jobs Act while at the same time the Democrats
and their pundits are proclaiming that 80 percent of the population
will receive a tax hike.




Even CNN has this tool to see what you will save. I tried a variety of
scenarios and *all* resolved in a cut. Mine is far less than the middle
class as it's defined...

Looks like I save 3.1%

After tax income goes up 2.4% here but ~$2500 is better than a poke in
the eye with a sharp stick. It is not as good as the $3k I guessed
tho.


And I am in a high tax state. I take standardized deduction as I have no
mortgage, other than the Medicare and supplemental insurance, not a lot of
medical costs. Since most of my income is qualified dividends, I pay at
the 20% rate. Since those dividends come from 39% taxed already money, the
dividends should go up. And why are the Liberals worried about a $1.5
trillion deficit over 10 years? They seemed happy with a $10 trillion
over 8 years with only a 25% return on the overspending.
