That's awful that deductions and exemptions increase just for being old.

Rx for both he and wife OOP are over $14k per year. Just for being old.

I fail to see why I need to subsidize his or any other person's lifestyle due to their age.

He will get less mileage out of the taxes he's paying due to being old

Marginally. And he got more milage beforehand so it's really a wash.

Rates are also being lowered. This tax bill is interesting since "winners and losers" will be very difficult to determine without specific income information.
