... DONALD TRUMP IS AGAIN SCREWING YOU PERSONALLY! Stealing your
money and not giving you a path.


He is not. The tax reform alone was a major success. I could not
believe the barrage of project requests I received as a consultant
since January this year. It just comes at the wrong time in life
for me as I am trying to reduce my project load, easing towards
retirement. More brewing, more riding.

I'm a clear loser under the Trump tax plan which means that I am
subsidizing you.


Because you can't deduct the full Oregon income tax anymore? Why should
the rest of the country subsidize left-leaning states in the first
place? That never made sense.


Are you nuts? Why should anyone pay tax on tax? The notion of paying tax on tax has rankled true conservatives for years. Conservatives hated the AMT. I can see cutting out the mortgage deduction, but making me pay tax on money I never see . . . really? This was a punish-your-enemies move.

Read the tax plan -- it targets a very specific demographic for upside and downside. It is one of the retaliatory pieces of legislation I have seen. Not just misguided or expensive like much legislation, but a clear stick in the eye to middle-income blue-staters.

-- Jay Beattie.

So you're again taking other people's words for the tax plan instead of actually reading it yourself. The tax cuts for 2018 are straight across the board with the lower income people getting larger cuts than the higher incomes. You really get tiresome with your socialist beliefs. Especially when you are making comments that are patently false because you believe you can get away with it.
