People really have no clue what this bill means for the US!

 

[kev74]

The best part is the crippling effect it will have on all the Obama(doesn't)care mandates.

I like winning, and im very happy about the direct i see the ship turning.... i will be highly disappointed if there is no love for the 2a, and especially national reciprocity.

We can hope but prepare to be disappointed.

 

[GOPerfect]

Funny thing is, I may not see a decrease in my taxes. I do NOT care. All these people that are upset that they may not see a decrease, that is all they can see. They cannot see the forest through the trees.

It is not about the individual. It is about the whole.

It is about taking from those whom are not citizens.

It is about cutting to bring companies back to the Country.

It is about making the system of taxes simpler than it has been in a very long time.

It is about not rewarding those who give/pay nothing.

This is indeed a win for America even though the haters are to filled with hate and rage to see it!

It is a priority of his, may not be the highest priority, but he will get er done!

 

[kev74]

Trump is doing pretty well at keeping his campaign promises.

 

[Dr. Evil]

A nice side effect is watching the likes of Schumer and Pelosi's heads exploding with all of the winning. I really wish bad things for them and all of those alike.

This tax reform will put about $100 a month back in my pocket.
It's enough to cover my cell phone bill for the month.
It's enough to cover my car insurance bill every month.
It's two extra tanks of gasoline every month.
It buys enough food for all of my breakfasts and lunches during the month.
It's enough to take the other half out on an extra date night once in awhile.
Its also enough for a plane ticket to visit her ailing mother.

These are ALL things that make a HUGE impact on my life. Some people just don't understand - or care enough to. So when I hear someone say that this "does nothing" for the average middle-income American, it pisses me off, and I respond with a resounding "Go fuck yourself!"

And that is the best part of it.
I thank the demofucks every day for complaining about how the corps were going to swallow up the tax savings and voting NO. It was the demofucks who really forced the corps to start the trend. And....Trump is gonna get the cudo's What more can you want.

I haven't read the bill but I'm under no delusions, this will only benefit corporations and the elite. You just pulled trillions of tax dollars out of circulation ... whose going to pay for it .. Middle class will with higher interest rates and bail outs when the next crash occurs. Money goes up, it always goes up and it stays there.

Historically republicans do not build strong economy's they build weak ones that collapse.

[Drinkthekoolaid]

My 401k had its best year ever. I'm Excited looking ahead to 2018 re economy should love these cuts!

 

[Podmonkey]

When do the changes take effect? Next fiscal year, or is it retroactive for this year? And I gather that forntge regular joe these changes mean that the standard deduction gets us back more than doing line deductions?

Why do you think that?

Lowering the corporate tax rate will get more companies investing in our country rather than overseas. This creates more jobs, and more taxes from workers, etc...more working people spend more money, and so on and so forth.

However, while i think this is a good thing for Americans, its only half the job. Now they need to cut spending and shrink the .gov.

I have to disagree. It’s the rich and elite who own the corporations and provide the jobs to the middle class. They are the ones that actually control the hourly wages that are paid. Proportionately they are the ones that pay the most taxes because they make the most money. So why should that be held against them.

It’s trickle down economics Or in layman terms either shit or the money always flows downhill. Most Of us here are the ones waiting downhill for something to flow down to us. During the Obama years I can honestly say the only thing that flowed downhill is shit.

Yes this new tax plan is not going to help the New Yorker as much it’s going to help the person living out in Kansas? Probably not. But that’s not the Federal governments fault. You can thank the New York State government for your high taxes. And that’s why Cuomo can’t stand this tax plan, because now the burden is on him.

If only Spicer was still around to deal with the inevitable cuck backlash that will happen across the entire media since they didn't get their way...

I won't see much, if any decrease in my taxes. BUT...as businesses do better, and companies do better, my investments (retirement 401K plans) will improve and I'll be better off in the long run. Any of us that have long term investments, such as pension plans, will do better over time.

 

[libertysnake]

I think I'll see a little decrease. Not a ton, but a little -- a little under 1% decrease. Comes to another $1000-$1500 I'll be able to throw into the emergency fund per year.

 

[Mr. terzmo]

The media is still pushing the tax bill will only benefit the rich...the dems are pushing it..they never report anything positive of the current administration and before summer,my 2 cents,.they'll be singing a different tune.

Food for thought while you castigate the Republican tax reform......

"Barack Obama: Added $7.917 trillion*, a 68 percent increase from the $11.657 trillion debt at the end of George W. Bush’s last budget, FY 2009.

• FY 2016 - $1.423 trillion.
• FY 2015 - $327 billion.
• FY 2014 - $1.086 trillion.
• FY 2013 - $672 billion.
• FY 2012 - $1.276 trillion.
• FY 2011 - $1.229 trillion.
• FY 2010 - $1.652 trillion."

As I understand.

Changes start 1/1/18;

February 2018: payroll tax withholding changes, less $ taken from gross pay

April 2018: file taxes just like last year, same rules

April 2019: file tax return under new rules

The SD will double to $24K. I haven’t been able to itemize in the past so I claimed the SD of $12K, married. Still married, income the same, SD now doubled and tax brackets lowered. This means I will be able to reduce my taxable income by an extra 12K and be in a lower bracket. All Good!!

People that itemized in the past may find that they may not be able to itemize more than the new 24K SD.

Liberals will deny it. It's all justified to them.

This one jackass started getting preachy with me on Facebook about how he's a "PhD" now and a "data analyst" and how in his opinion all these entitlement programs are a net benefit. What a joke. Dude was bailed out over and over again by mommy and daddy after he couldn't figure out what to do with his life after I took classes with him up in Binghamton.

Furthermore, a data analyst is really a bullshit position. I like to call it "someone who can't code, trying to do analysis on data." That's like someone trying to hit nails into wood with a soft rubber hammer. Doable, but a waste of everyone's time compared to the right tool for the job.

Needless to say, he was triggered as fuck.

MSM is desperate to slander the bill and Trump while they still can. Just wait until mid-Feb when everyone is seeing an extra $50-100 in their paycheck. Genie will be out of the bottle at that point.

Remind the Forum again of what kind of GDP growth the prior Administration achieved?



With all due respect Shadow, you've not even read the bill.

If "money ALWAYS goes up, and stays there", explain the last decade of Interest Rates.

Your post is not indicative of someone with an understanding of monetary policy.

Sorry, but the nonsense you offered up is indicative of someone with no understanding of monetary policy.

Wait, I thought, "The shadow knows..."

Talking smack without even having read the bill..............then publicly admitting you've done so is quite the debate tactic!
