Here's the new tax brackets in case you're wondering.

For married couples filing jointly, here’s how the proposed rates work out under the GOP tax bill:
New Rate New Income Bracket | Old Rate Old Income Bracket
10% Up to $19,050 | 10% Up to $19,050
12% $19,050-$77,400 | 15% $19,050-$77,400
22% $77,400-$165,000 | 25% $77,400-$156,150
24% $165,000-$315,000 | 28% $156,150-$237,950
32% $315,000-$400,000 | 33% $237,950-$424,950
35% $400,000-$600,000 | 35% $424,950-$480,050
37% $600,000+ | 39.6% $480,050+
***Correct me if I'm wrong but it appears that literally everyone is getting a tax break except for couples who earned between 400k-424k. They were in the 33% bracket previously and now will be in the 35%. Everyone else has a lower bracket now. (Am I looking at that correctly?)
For Single Filers:
New Rate New Income Bracket | Old Rate Old Income Bracket
10% Up to $9,525 | 10% Up to $9,525
12% $9,525-$38,700 | 15% $9,525-$38,700
22% $38,700-$82,500 | 25% $38,700-$93,700
24% $82,500 – $157,500 | 28% $93,700-$195,450
32% $157,500-$200,000 | 33% $195,450-$424,950
35% $200,000-$500,000 | 35% $424,950-$426,700
37% $500,000+ | 39.6% $426,700+
**Same basic deal for singles, higher incomes around 157k+ get a slight increase, everyone else gets decrease.

This tax bill has already killed 2 of my family members. I don't know how much longer I'll make it...

Why does a single person pay more taxes when they are already paying city taxes for couples that have kids that go to school.

I ask this every two weeks.
edit: Married folks with 2 kids in my equivalent tax bracket pay half the tax bill I do.

Because they are supplying future work force, future domestic product and thus future tax revenues. Single no kids is a big ol zero for GDP once you quit working

The way I understand this is that pretty much everyone gets a % reduction in their taxes. However people that had a bunch of write offs might not see a reduction. For example a guy I know has 10 LSU Football season tickets. So the write offs he gets from the "TAF Donations" wouldn't be a write off anymore. So he might actually pay more in taxes.
Is this correct? By the way I see no problem with this being done.

1. All couples don’t have kids
2. All couples who have kids don’t send them to public school
3. All kids aren’t age 5-18.
4. Single people have a ton of children too

Shhhhhhh it doesn't fit the Liberal agenda. What you should of said was, "The middle class is going to starve and die from this."

This is correct though I would guess all but the most extreme examples will see at least a modest savings

What if the whole family goes on welfare?
What's the value of the GDP for that group then?
edit: I agree with you, but there are many occasions where a "family" doesn't produce more than a single equivalent.

What about the private plane runway I'm going to have installed at my golf course? Doesn't that give me a tax credit? Or am I just allowed to rape poor people now?

This chart barely goes over $400k. Where is the chart for ot posters?

People with kids should pay more than people without kids. The Earth is already overpopulated and theyre just adding to it.
Adding one more person that doesnt speed up to merge onto the interstate at a time.

Married, no kids.
We are taking a big arse hit on property tax deductions.

If you are single with no kids and willing to work, you might have a lot of problems, but money shouldn’t be one of them.
If it is, it ain’t because of the tax brackets.

Any tax break I get from the bill will end up offset by the hit to scholarships/grants for grad school for me because of stipends and such now being taxable income.

If you taxed them the same you'd just being paying more for social services as a single person. Having kids is expensive as shite, if you taxed them the same families would have money left. I don't have any data, but I bet it would be pretty close to even for you because of the increased people needing assistance if they didn't get those tax breaks.

Yep. I help fund our shitty schools and send my kids to private school. Now I'm going to be able to setup a 529 and pay their tuition out of it too which is great for us.
