      Big winners in Senate tax plan: the wealthy and their heirs (exempts 1st $22M in inheritance from taxes, later all such income; ends alternative minimum tax that insures rich pay at least some tax). Corporations (tax rate cut from 35 to 20%).

      The big losers who pay for this: 13M who lose health coverage w repeal of mandate w/o replacement. Earners <$30000 who face tax incr in 2021. Earners <$75000 who face tax incr in 2027. College students whose tuition grants become taxable. People who pay state & local taxes.

      This bill is astonishingly immoral, corrupt, and damaging to people’s lives. The characteristic of this era of power is utter #shamelessness.

          Plenty to hate about this bill including using as cover for ending ACA mandate. But curious: why assume everyone will "lose" their coverage if mandate is eliminated?

          Because without the mandate, fewer people will sign up, especially young, healthier people. With a shrinking risk pool, rates go up. People can't afford higher rates, so they lose their insurance.

          Even @forbes thinks this bill is a horrible idea. GOP an intellectually and morally bankrupt party.

          And today Trump lied, and said "this bill won't help me at all." Even a quick read of his leaked 2005 short returns shows that he will save an easy $22 million off inheritance. Trump really has no sense of right or wrong, I fear for our country.
