The House passed the Trump Tax Scam today.

But in their rush, they passed a version that would require 60 votes in the Senate.

So they have to make some fixes and re-vote tomorrow.

Thankfully, the GOP will pay the price for it next November. Just like the Dems did in 2010.

I doubt it, people like lower taxes.

Is there a website out there that breaks down what different households would pay in taxes relative to the old plan? I would like to see it broken down in $10k increments of income showing both married and single filers with 1 to 5 kids.

This has some of that.

I saw another one that had pull-down menus where you could select income, marital status, and kids, but I couldn't find it it again after a little looking.

I think there are enough voters that are done with Trump that don't really care what he does for them. Like a girlfriend or boyfriend who keeps trying to fix a bad relationship with bribes and flattery, but you are so repulsed you're just waiting for right moment to dump them.

The public will take the gifts if they get any, but still slam the door. I believe that's what Trump has earned with his piggy behavior. If the Mueller team doesn't get him first.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

I have absolutely no doubt he is a 1 term President.
Best thing for the Republican party, Trump step down, Pence becomes President and runs in 2020. No way Trump gets reelected.

Thanks, if you run across it again please pass it along. I am a numbers guy. I don't care to read anyone's commentary, I just want to see the numbers so I can see how it will affect me and others that I care about.
