[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 3171858, member: 18225"] $2,000,000,000,000 in tax breaks for corporations, for starters. It's a bait and switch for the average Joe. Hey, we'll double your standard deduction, but we'll pull the rug out from under you in terms of x,y, and z. Look, any tax reform will produce winners and losers, but, so far, this looks like corporations will win bigly and the working-man will take a hit so that said corporations can get their pound of flesh. The numbers will be discussed, and that's the thing about numbers: it's math, and no matter how Ryan and Trump want to spin this, this is a transfer of levied monies from labor to capitol. I hate to say it, but Republicans have been trying to reverse the New Deal since the New Deal. If you aren't rich, you aren't contributing to the economy, and therefore you should die in squalor. It's like a Dickens book. The fact that you buy the nonsense that this tax 'reform' is pointed toward the middle class, or workers, makes me think you haven't thought this through. But hey, this isn't the final bill, so both of us are talking out our :censored:. [/QUOTE]
