In light of over 1 million Americans earning an unexpected bonus because of these reforms, the doubling of the standard deduction, and increase in the child tax credit.....what exactly makes you so militant about this?

This actually seems like a rare step in the right direction for a Washington.

Why do you hate this so much? Is it because the next Democrat will have to extend the tax breaks when they take office in 2025? Or because Trump's a meanie? Is it personally offensive to not be able to deduct SALT from your federal taxes?

If you think there is logic behind their opposition then you’re a bigger idiot than they are.

Im on record supporting the tax cut.

Dems are opposing anything Trump because that's the sad shite sack state of our politics now.

They didn't hate it when they thought it was Bernie's plan.

Anything that might be perceived as positive for Trump or the GOP must be portrayed as an atrocity by the Dems and their propagandists in the MSM.

The only purpose is to prevent the masses from voting for non-Marxist candidates.

So it's your opinion that America's debt is caused by revenue and not spending?

If Trump himself found a cure for Cancer they would criticize and hate on him for putting doctors out of work or some shite.

Prog filth just don't think like the rest of us. They start the day hating themselves and it just gets worse from there.

It takes a special sort of goofball to believe that the goal of this tax package was to benefit the middle class.

You might get your $1000 in tax savings, but you're going to be paying WAY more than that in healthcare costs and environmental costs.... not to mention the massive deficit that your children and grandchildren will be handed.

It takes a special sort of shortsightedness and self-destructiveness to be happy with your crumbs when the plutocrats are exploiting you by structuring this entire government and society to make cakes for themselves.

Deficit you say? Such a fiscal conservative, Rex. Why did Obama lie about health care costs?

We see by this tax scam that Republicans don't give two shits about deficits. They're all about profit generation for plutocrats, your children and the environment be damned.

Now that tax revenue has been reduced, let's wait to see how the votes fall concerning spending cuts and welfare reform. Then we can see who really cares about deficits.

Talking heads on CNN claimed that tax reform was going to kill people. Their reactions to welfare reform proposals are going to break the insane-o-meter.
