    The IRS will spend nearly $300 million on IT to address the new tax law, as it braces for a 17% rise in phone calls and 40,000 hours of personnel traininghttps://on.wsj.com/2J2BptY

        Deficit-saving suggestion...make it a service charge against the corporations. It was for them, not the common citizen. Look at the layoffs despite the promised jobs. His tax failure will match that of other trickle-down fools. Only one thing trickles down to the working class.

        Have a 401(k) or other retirement program that invests in stocks for you? Us working class actually do benefit from the success of the private sector.

        But do you honestly think you benefited at the same ratio, not dollar to dollar, but proportional. Seriously think about investment growth and the sunset of the individual tax break compared to the corporate benefit.

        Absolutely those who have college or retirement investment accounts (that invested in stocks) benefited. The growth of those accounts has been substantial. Most of us want those companies to keep performing well, for investing in them is the only chance we have to get rich.

        So far there is little parity between the two. And, a key phrase is “those with”...we have many in the working class that do not have access to or enough income to contribute to such financial instruments. He should have stuck with reality TV and left reality alone.

        Union pensions, something provided to working class by mere virtue of being in a union, are just one of many examples of investments to which people DO have access, even without their choosing.

        Oh heck no! They’re overstaffed to begin with. Unless we can replace existing emps by 2019, with workers that actually earn their living, they need different IT, and competent, driven leadership now!

        #TaxationIsTheft ... the government could try not stealing money from it's citizens. Requires no training and no IT.

        I’m sure they will spend that much money. Only a government agency could spend that kind of money to support a tax law that should result in simpler tax returns. We need this on a postcard to get rid of all them

        I often spend hundreds of millions of dollars in anticipation of more phone calls.
