I don't think my taxes are going to go down under this new plan.

It may increase our standard deductions, but we would lose about 10,000 in deductions for other taxes we pay (state and real estate). We would still be in a 25% category.

This reform is bound to be a gift for the con men in the WH.

and if it doubles, it means an additional nearly $2K in our pockets.

At the cost of my daughters' future.

I hope this abomination dies.

9. Plan involves counting what employers pay for healthcare premiums as taxable income

Now, the portion that employers pay to subsidize health care premiums so that employees/retirees can afford their health plans has not been taxable at all.

One of the major hits of this horrible plan

That will add another $2500, minimum, to our taxes.

How do you incorporate yourself or your family?

Republican, loves Trump. We visited a few weekends ago and his property taxes in New York are about $20,000 a year.

Good luck with that, TrumpBoy.
