        GOP class system: 3rd—Poor people: take away all government assistance 2nd—Wage earners: make them pay full tax rates 1st (tie)—Investors/business owners: give them special reduced tax rates 1st (tie)—Corporations: even lower tax rates 1st (tie)—Wealthy heirs: millions tax-free

        That is not the GOP class system. That is the current tax code. The tax code is actually a series of incentives. It rewards the behavior those who wrote the tax code want to see. E.g. mortgage interest deduction. Those in tier 1 have simply used the code to their benefit.

        Name one Democrat who does not fully utilize the "evil" tax code to its full advantages?

        I don't think you quite understand the tax system. The tier 1 people all pay reduced tax rates on certain types of income, while wage earners pay full tax rates on their income. This has nothing to do with deductions.

        The big change in the new tax bill is the provision that allows owners of pass-through businesses to pay taxes on just 80% of their income. If I'm a wage earner who makes $100K, I pay taxes on $100K. If I'm a pass-through business owner who makes $100K, I pay taxes on just $80K.

        Replying to @617to416 @SeaNeverFull and

        The existing tax system already has lower rates for dividends and capital gains (including carried interest). So the new pass-through provision creates yet another provision that lowers the tax rates for investors. Ordinary workers don't get similar breaks.

        Exactly. The code incentivizes certain behavior. Ordinary workers can behave in a way that provides tax incentives. Or they can stay ignorant and complain on social media how unfair everything is.

        I wonder why Dems and Trump haters so worried. If tax bill truly bad wouldn’t it help Dems in 2018? Thinking the people might like it. #cnn #trump #msnbc #foxnews

        those who vote in favor of it are not representing the people but rather themselves and their party, handing #Trump what he wants. Disgraceful

        The next step is for the Americans (who are awake) to plan to vote as many out of Government as possible. What's happening is a big payoff to rich donors & corporations with a few temporary crumbs thrown at citizens to appease them. We can't stand for this...
