House gives final approval to tax reform bill
Fox News ^ | 12/20/2017 | Judson Berger

Posted on 12/20/2017 10:06:21 AM PST by Cato in PA

The House gave the final stamp of approval Wednesday to a sweeping tax reform package, handing President Trump his first major legislative victory and most Americans a tax cut starting next year.

In a 224-201 vote, Congress sent the $1.5 trillion package to Trump’s desk. The biggest rewrite of the federal tax code since the Reagan administration will usher in steep rate cuts for American companies, double the deduction millions of families claim on their annual returns and make a host of other changes taking effect in a matter of weeks.

I think he’s going to wait to sign in January to avoid something or another mentioned.

I will love the democrats/marxists meltdown once Trump signs this tax cut.

This will be a double meltdown because communist milenials are still melting down over Trump killing their soros communist net neutrality for the Internet.

On the other hand, residents of New York state may finally begin to demand lower state taxes.

Ya know, there are two New Yorks and us upstaters, without some kind of state electoral college, have no voice except U-haul as far as this state goes and most of us are just like you, Conservative.

The Dims are in rout. Not one of them get credit for this tax reduction. yesterday on McCallum I saw Never Trump Rinos from the National Review completely capitulate into fawning sycophants. They were beaten and subdued as they yielded to the greatness of Trump now unquestioned.
The Dims are now in major rout and 2018 is in jeopardy. They stand for nothing but hate and lies. They thought people were so stupid they would believe Trump colluded with the Russians when Hillary was paying the Russians for the dossier and taking money personally to vote for Uranium One. I see this as a watershed for the destruction of the Trump haters. You will see things you never thought you would see.

Not all the folks fleeing NYS are looney lefties. I know a number of conservative, former owners of small businesses who’ve bugged out. Other states will be fortunate to have them.

So all thats left is for Trump to sign it.

Too bad majority of people in America are stupid and oppose this bill because business benefits from it. I guess the American people live the joblessness of Bush and 0bama years.

If these a-holes want to win elections they better give hyuge tax cuts to middle class.

Does not look that way. Trump beware! They do not mind letting you take the blame for failure.

Yep...lots of us are hatching escape plans. Someday, when family obligations are over and I'm ready for a change, I will probably make the move either out west or down south. I support myself, mind my own business and am used to semi-rural living where I take care of things instead of expecting government to do it for me. There is a lot of the opposite up here.

As sure as the sun rises the swamp won’t let this good news go unanswered. I am betting a “leak” from the Mueller investigation appearing as the lead BREAKING NEWS story in the fake news in 3, 2, 1. . .
