Embedded within the bill's more than 400 pages is a small provision that would change an aspect of the so-called "Johnson Amendment," a provision of the tax codes that prohibits churches, faith communities, and other non-profits from outright endorsing political candidates.

If the tax cuts are being sold as the grand generator of economic growth, where is the historical evidence or, even, predictions based on a wide spectrum of experts?  There have been no hearings and none are planned.  And, this is a tax cut program, not a "reform" for purposes of making the tax code more fair...indeed, it is not revenue neutral, it projects a massive deficit. Where are all those Republican deficit hawks, anyway?

The framework of the tax cut, cut, cut proposal is a windfall for the wealthiest investors, a substantial portion of whom are foreign investors. Of the $l.5 trillion (over 10 years), $1 trillion is primarily for corporate interests, $200 billion for elimination of the inheritance tax, and the rest, $300 billion is for the rest of the citizenry.

The tax cut proposal is likely to inflict serious damage on the economy, if problems in the housing market and the interrelationships with the economy (as we saw during the great recession) are created.  The new cap on deductions of interest on mortgage loans ($500,000 from $1 M) will echo loudly, throughout higher priced areas, with less incentive to build,and less incentive to buy. And, the bill has no phase-in period.  The effective date (if passed) is yesterday, the day the bill was introduced.  This raises the price of a home and carrying costs (with a $10,000 cap on property tax).  

Number one recipient is estimated to be Wells Fargo, who will walk away with billions of dollars. You do remember Wells Fargo, the company that opened the fake accounts to cheat its own customers.

This needs to be broadcast far an wide.  These crooks go and screw the poor (likely many Trump supporters), they get minimal punishment for it, and now they reap the big reward.

Middle-income families would pay less, thanks to doubling of the standard deduction and an increase in the child tax credit.

Taxpayers would no longer be able to deduct medical expenses after the 2017 tax year under the proposed Republican tax overhaul plan, introduced in the House yesterday.

Right now, taxpayers who itemize their deductions on their 2017 return can deduct medical and dental expenses that exceed 10% of their adjusted gross income.

It's said this is mostly for people in nursing homes.

Things on the winner list:
People whose parents own estates worth more than $5million.

What a great plan for the middle class...

And yea, this is a direct hit to blue voters.  Young, educated people don't vote Republican - better raise their taxes.  People who live in expensive cities don't vote Republican - better raise their taxes (oh btw, the median home price in Boston is now >$550,000).  People who pay state income taxes tend to not vote Republican - better raise their taxes.
