The Finance Committee tax overhaul delivers benefits directly to the working and middle class through doubling the standard deduction and the child tax credit, as well as lowering rates across the board. Take a look at the real world impact of the Senate plan:
Family of four earning $73,000
A family of four with income of around $73,000 (median family income) will see a tax cut of nearly $2,200.
Their tax bill will fall from what they pay today, around $3,683, to paying $1,499 next year—a reduction of $2,184.
This represents a reduction in their tax bill of nearly 60 percent.
Single parent with one child earning $41,000
A single parent with one child earning $41,000 will see a tax cut of nearly $1,400.
Their tax bill will fall from what they are paying today, around $1,865, to paying $488 next year—a reduction of $1,377.
This represents a reduction in their tax bill of nearly 75 percent, meaning that their tax bill next year will be just over one quarter of what it is today.
Married small business owners with income of $100,000
A couple earning $100,000, with $60,000 from wages, $25,000 in compensation from their non-corporate business, and $15,000 of business income, will see a tax cut of more than $2,850.
Their tax bill will fall from what they pay today, around $11,280, to paying around $8,425 next year—a reduction of $2,855.
This represents a reduction in their tax bill of more than 25 percent.

And you continue to out yourself as one of those people who believe that all issues have only two perspectives, conservative or liberal. You seem to take great comfort in telling yourself that you are better than all those liberals, just as they take great comfort in telling themselves that they are better than all of you conservatives. The extremists in both groups have made them into religions. So have fun with your bipolar view of the political world.
and you did it again. You keep trolling and digging deeper and deeper....
whatever
