Obviously, you don't understand anything at all about what those "loopholes", that Reagan got rid of, entailed. They COST MONEY, to save a little; so no, there wasn't much, if any "noise"/grumbles about getting rid of them back then.

YES...if this crap sandwich stands ( which it won't ), many people shall pay THOUSANDS of dollars more than they do now; if not more than that.

No, those "selfless attitudes" aren't gone; Trump ran, paid, and won the election.

OTOH...paying more taxes, so that illegals, slackers, ghetto thugs, and CRONIES of pols ( companies, colleges, etc.) can get more of my money STINKS!

I agree.

But there are credits and brackets that have changed, so until people actually run their own numbers, they won’t know what they will be paying. Just seeing a deduction reduced doesn’t give the whole picture.

Show me a scenario, using the entire 1040 and subsequent forms, That shows how anyone would pay thousands more. Just pointing to one deduction disappearing isn’t very accurate.
