        Does this mean @realDonaldTrump plans on paying his taxes? Or will he continue raping and pillaging, not paying taxes that is used to build our roads & infrstructure and pay our fireman and policeman? #MakeDonaldPayHisTaxes

        And here we go. By 2027, the top 1 percent gets 83% of the tax cut, the top 0.1% gets 60%. Also, by 2027 two-thirds of middle class sees a tax *increase*. http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/publications/distributional-analysis-conference-agreement-tax-cuts-and-jobs-act/full …

        This tax bill is a huge mistake. It will saddle future generations with massive debt to support the wealthy, over time the middle class will see little benefit. Another “Me and Mine” initiative of the #Trump Administration. Call your Senators and Congressmen now before voting.

        Sure if 23% of middle class Americans get a tax cut, from what? Do they get enough cut it means thousands a year in income, or tens of dollars? A $50 cut won't move one into a nicer apartment!

        $50.00 in a refund isn't what taxpayers are expecting. You can cut what citizens are paying this year by $1.00 and they will never see improvement in their life, because that refund doesn't meet their smallest need.
