The rest of the title is: They're Wrong.

[Harpotoo]

Tax reform for the popular vote:-)

[Mariner]

I can testify, with certainty, my taxes will go up substantially.

I’ve used all the tools people here have posted. And I’ve run my own numbers.

My taxes go up.

Anyone who says they won’t is either, at best disingenuous, or at worst, a liar.

Democrat voters like to be lied to. How else to explain elected democrats’ continued re-election despite their record of evil lies and enslavement efforts toward we the people?

[Alberta's Child]

The current GOP leadership has done a terrible job selling anything to the voters of this country. Paul Ryan couldn’t sell a bottle of cold water to a thirsty man in the middle of the Sahara Desert.

[I want the USA back]

And they’re so stupid that they will think taxes have gone up, even if they go down.

[CatOwner]

It raises our taxes and it raises our daughter’s taxes. No propaganda here.

[Mariner]

“Only a small sliver of taxpayers (in the ballpark of ten percent) might expect to see their tax bill rise due to tax reform, and those are disproportionately wealthier itemizers who live in high-tax blue states. “

How much is 10% of 150+ million filers?

Over 15 million people will see their taxes go up.

But that’s ok because they are in CA, right?

[LouieFisk]

Whatever the merits of this bill - or any other - Republicans just are lousy at messaging.

[GOPJ]

We can’t ‘sell things to the public’ like liberals do because 99% of newspapers, magazines, and TV content (news and entertainment) are liberal.

[nickcarraway]

Republicans are cutting taxes for illegal immigrants. You’ve got to give them that.

[Arthur McGowan]

The majority of sheeple are convinced that when the taxes of “the rich” are cut, everybody else’s taxes go up, and vice versa.

I.e., the government schools are NOT FAILING. They are SUCCEEDING at the task for which they were designed from the beginning: turning out morons.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Taxes will go up for some people, especially in high-tax states.

#NoBull

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

When is 10% a sliver? That’s more like a chunk.

[Mariner]

“Republicans are cutting taxes for illegal immigrants. You’ve got to give them that.”

While at the same time raising taxes on this lifelong Republican that placed his very first vote for Ronald Reagan in the 1976 Republican primary.

A grave injustice.

[Mariner]

In the ballpark of 10% could very well be 14%.

[CatOwner]

Yep. When retirees in high property tax states (CA, NY, TX, FL, etc.) see their federal tax bills rise in 2018, they are going to take that anger into the voting booths in 2020. Good luck GOP and Trump.

[rbmillerjr]

Lots of idiots on FR, buying into the ...

Liberal Media BS

Liberal DNC BS

GOPe NeverTrumper BS

...I particular get amusement from the “my taxes are going up”, even though we don’t have a final Bill.

[LouieFisk]

Yup. They should have done as they claimed they could do, lower tax rates for everyone and make the tax return small & simple enough to fit on a postcard (I’d settle for a single 8 1/2 x 11 page).
