i take it you don't vote GOP?Damn I could be paying more in taxes next go round.
Limiting and lowering state, mortgage interest, student loan, and 401k deductions kinda fukks me
that's why big businesses prefer the status quo. worrying about health care keeps valued employees tethered to the corporate structure. in america the best time to be entrepreneurial is when you're young and healthy or old with a nest egg. middle age americans with a lot of know-how are too scared to put their family's health at risk.

why i asked is because this tax reform is targeting people who don't fit the GOP voting profile. seems like they're going all out on you.

Tax bill clears Senate Budget Committee
The Senate Budget Committee on Tuesday advanced the chamber's GOP tax bill.
The measure was approved by a party-line vote of 12-11, with two key Republicans voting for the measure after previously expressing concerns.
The vote sends the measure to the Senate floor, where the bill could start to be considered as early as Wednesday. Overhauling the tax code is a top priority for Republicans and they are hoping to get legislation to President Trump's desk by Christmas.
Trump visited the Senate Republicans' lunch just before the vote in an effort to rally lawmakers on the bill.
Monday evening, two GOP senators, Ron Johnson (Wis.) and Bob Corker(Tenn.), had left the door open to voting against the measure in committee if their concerns weren't addressed before then. Johnson has expressed concerns that the bill doesn't do enough to help pass-through businesses, while Corker is concerned about the impact on the debt.
However, they ultimately decided to vote in favor of the measure.
Corker told reporters that he has an "outline of an agreement" with the Senate Finance Committee and leadership on a backstop in the event that the bill does not produce as much economic growth as expected.
The Budget Committee combined the tax bill with a measure that allows drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
Democrats on the panel blasted the bill, arguing that it would mostly benefit wealthy individuals and corporations and increase the deficit.
Protesters repeatedly interrupted the Budget Committee meeting, chanting phrases such as "stop the tax scam" and "kill the bill."

They don't have final votes. This vote is just for political cover. McCain, Flake, Corker etc - they will deny trump a political victory by any means. And then you still have Smith who doesn't want the health care mandate taken out.
I’m listening to the press conference so I gather the dems stood up the the pres and repubs
