#FakePolls

Be careful and pay attention to who conducts the surveys. Questions can be asked in such a way to skew the results any way they want.

“We don’t have a final bill”

But that’s not stoping you from defending it

So you admit the new tax bill will raise taxes for a number of people. It’s just that you’re ok with that.

Making excuses for higher taxes used to be a Democrat thing. Now the GOP has joined in

The GOP doesn’t have a good message because it doesn’t have a good tax bill. When Republicans raise taxes on millions of people - as they’re doing - they’ve abandoned their principles and lost any chance for a credible message

Trump and the Republicans are doing a crap job of selling this bill to the American People. Plus a good number of folks will see their taxes go up.

This very well coukd be a suicide mission for Trump and the Republicans.

Oh, right. That’s why Donald Trump took one look at the possibility of running for president and decided not to. /heavy sarcasm off/

$19,200 annual mortgage interest

$4,800 annual State Income tax

$4,800 annual Property tax

Right there, the first line is your biggest problem................

$19,200 mortgage interest alone based on a $140K salary? You're screwed bro. I'd love to see the house you bought for that rate and money.

But it all comes back to your state and its taxes doesn't it? That's your problem, you choose to live there..........

"Are you amused by them continuing to send billions of dollars worth of checks to illegal aliens? "

It's funny in the odd, lame, absurd senses.

Not for us.

Where do YOU live and are you still employed or retired?

every income group will receive a tax cut

This kind of weasel wording matches what the definition of is is. This is not the way normal people communicate. It immediately raises red flags that we're being conned.

I have not studied the tax bills, which are still in conference and who knows what they will eventually be.

The GOP and conservatives ... factions ... have done a terrible job of developing, packaging and selling this tax cut. The blame is on the GOP. The Dems just took advantage of the bumbling GOP.

From what I understand, the current tax reform bill eliminates the personal exemption of $4050 per individual. For a family of four, they raise the standard deduction from $12,000 to $24,000 and then take $16,200 of it back by eliminating the personal exemption so your taxable income INCREASES by $4200. Large families are hit even harder. A family of 6 would have their taxable income increased by $12,300. This is unacceptable as it amounts to a tax increase to millions of middle income citizens. Contact your senators and representatives and demand they put it back in!

All I can say is that being retired (and only doing direct work for myself and the fam), I no longer have to be taxed for my time spent doing same.

It’s a great relief to no longer have the governments putting me in their tax slave chains for ~ 40% of my working hours.

Not that that they don’t still get a great amount of revenue from saved/accumulated/stored previous work.

Every day is FREE now.

Free at Last!, Free at Last!, Good Lord Almighty, Free at Last!

A $400k home is easily affordable on $140k.

“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.”

And I can testify that you must be a truly special person. Seeing that the final bill has not been voted on and WE do not know for a certainty what’s in it...you are indeed very special.

Please tell us the numbers for the next Power Ball....

Same here only I have no income other than my SS and my small pension.

With that being said, I still have a close friend doing my end of year taxes rather than rely on Turbo Tax since he's trustworthy and I'd rather pay him rather than invest in the Turbo tax program or do it on line.......
