When, when, when ........ if Democrats continue to be out of touch with what most of middle America wants, that day will be a long time coming.

Middle America is opposed to this tax cut.

Because the tax cuts he campaigned on are the opposite of the Donor Giveaway that just passed. This tax plan is polling at about 20% approval. I mean, duh. Have you been paying attention at all?

Yes, they do!

GFY. You're not an American if you celebrate this theft from Americans.

Trump made no bones about wanting to cut taxes and he was elected based on that promise and others. Why the anger given that he and the Republicans are doing what they said they would do?

Yes. That's the insurance market death spiral. The whole system topples without the individual mandate.

These people are all sell outs to their Donor Overlords.

Voting against all the attempts to kill Obamacare but for this tax bill which is going to eff up the insurance markets makes no sense logically.

Lisa Murkowski orgasming on the Senate floor over finally getting to pollute ANWR. Guess we know what she traded her vote for.

So now rich people can protect unlimited amounts of money tax free in 529 accounts to pay for private school and homeschooling. But local taxes paid for public schools is not deductible.

The losers will be some taxpayers in high tax blue states who face the double whammy of continuation of the AMT and a limit on the deduction for property taxes. But who cares what blue state voters think given that Republicans have minimal presence in those states eg CA, NY, CT, NJ.

The bill would lower tax rates for individuals through 2025 and permanently cut the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 20 percent. The bill’s tax cuts for individuals are temporary in order to comply with budget rules that the measure can’t add to the deficit after 10 years.

The bill would also repeal ObamaCare’s individual mandate, a priority for President Trump and many Republicans, and open up a section of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) for drilling.

Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), a moderate who voted against the GOP’s ObamaCare repeal efforts, also voted in favor of the tax bill after getting several of her amendments into the bill, including the restoration of a $10,000 deduction for property taxes and a lower threshold for deducting medical expenses.

"I will cast my vote in support of the Senate tax reform bill. As revised, this bill will provide much-needed tax relief and simplification for lower- and middle-income families, while spurring the creation of good jobs and greater economic growth," Collins said.

Looks like 529 accounts can be used to pay for private and parochial schools.
