ever paid, from the returns we have seen. I think most Dems don't realize what a give away this is. I paid it once, years ago.

If you deduct away everthing, even though you took in a lot of money, in many cases you pay the AMT, Alternative Minimum Tax, so at least the wealthy have to pay something. Both the House and Senate bills get rid of it.
It is Trump's big prize for himself & gift to his billionaire friends.

Dems need to wake up and educate the troops to get out and raise hell.
