(63,650 posts)to have your medicare, medicaid and social security go to his rich friends, watch more shootings, more journalists getting dismembered, watch for more church killings, school shootings, nothing being done to help our environment.
Just my two cents if this horrible regime gets in. I want to see McConnell squirm.

She just finished a workshop to learn about the new tax laws. I asked her how much simplification there is in the new program, her answer "The simplification is incredibly complex and that average tax payers were not going to be happy with what they see."

(7,142 posts)I have done my own taxes most of the time, especially now since I'm retired. I get away with filing a 1040A. I have to laugh when my Republican friends tell me they have to take their 1040EZ to their tax preparer.
I laughed at your comment, "the simplification is incredibly complex."

(7,142 posts)What you said TNNurse plus, Trumpers are getting more in their paychecks because their employers are deducting less. Yeah, Trump doubled the standard deduction but he eliminated exemptions. Trumpers believe they are getting more money under Trump's tax cuts for the rich but they really won't know until they fill out their returns.
What good does it do if they get $3,000 more dollars during the year but have to pay $3,000 more in at the end of the year?

If they did not vote the right way this year we might have a major blowout in 2020.

(8,885 posts)will go into shock. Because whenever Republicans and Trump boast about their doubling of the standard deduction they never mention they axed the personal exemptions.
Just like when they talk about health care and how they support keeping pre-existing conditions protection they neglect to say anything about them allowing insurance to raise the cost for it.
Just little minor details that always seem to slip their mind.
