A lot of FReepers have been crying over the property tax provision also, which shows how hard it will be to take away what people consider to be entitlements.

Curious how this ends given McCain, Corkhead, Collins, and the two or three others enjoying all the camera attention.

And state and local taxes. Taxing money that I paid in taxes is double taxation. That money is gone, why is the federal government taxing money that I already paid in taxes?

[Jarhead9297]

The term “entitlements” in reference to taxes is liberal code speak for the belief that any money returned to the tax payer always belonged to the Government because they know how best to use that money

Republicans have instead suddenly gotten very smart on the "pay fors" in their tax bill.

Curious how "revenue neutral" applies *only* to tax relief. So if Peter gets a cut, Paul gets an increase....

Such rank hypocrisy! If revenue neutrality were really a concern, then the whole concept of base-line budgeting (automatic annual spending increases in government programs) would be out the window.

No wonder why Congress has an approval rating lower than even the MSM. What a bunch of *******!

I'm paying $18,000 in property taxes—and have a $70,000 "IRS income" reported in 2015.

Will my new proposed tax bracket compensate for the loss of this write-off?

Where are the government cuts?

I tire of article’s about Republican leadership where they’re labeled as “weak kneed”,”not holding to their principals”, “loser party”. When the fact is they’re SOCIALISTS, all of them and support most of what Democrats want.

[trebb]

Yep - lots of resistance because folks have become addicted to things so they will fight to stop any progress that doesn’t personally help them short term - and then they wonder why the RINOs can’t get anything done....

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

Never fear. McCain, Corker, Flake, Murkowski and Collins will kill it.

[zeugma]

I hadn’t heard about the endowment tax. Interesting how that is not making much news.

(federal)Taxpayers should not be subsidizing reckless financial behavior at the state level.

I'd wouldn't worry though. Juan and gang will vote tax relief down.
