Oh, I do so love polls.

How do you feel about the Republican tax cut plan, which looks at this moment like it will pass?

You are missing some options.
I support it. It won't change my taxes.
 
I have no idea how it affects me. Just googled for a few minutes and couldn’t find anything. But I’ll go out on a limb and say I don’t support it because Trump.
 
My taxes will go up 3-5%... my most recent raise should juuuust about cover it.
 
The poll needs options. Some of us voters are unselfish. Our motivation is how it affects others' taxes, not our own.

I support it and I believe it will make rich people's taxes go down
I support it and I believe it will make rich people's taxes go up
I do not support it and I believe it will make rich people's taxes go down
I do not support it and I believe it will make rich people's taxes go up
I support it and I believe it will make poor people's taxes go down
I support it and I believe it will make poor people's taxes go up
I do not support it and I believe it will make poor people's taxes go down
I do not support it and I believe it will make poor people's taxes go up

Two of the existing options would indicate some degree of unselfishness (support..will raise my taxes, and don't support...will lower my taxes).
There can only be 10 options in a poll, I think, so I can't add yours, sorry.

You should have flown to Moscow and made promises....it's called leverage...barfo stays in international waters like any good pirate would
 
I'm looking for a good Siberian team. Preferably with a former Blazer. I'm willing to search high and low, to sail the Volga.

Speaking of pirates, it's time for my bottle of rum.
 
Just after midnight, Vice President Mike Pence provided a tie-breaking vote to pass an amendment offered by Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, which would allow people to use up to $10,000 a year from tax-advantaged 529 savings accounts to fund tuition at private and religious k-12 schools or certain educational expenses for homeschooled students. Right now, such accounts can only be used to pay for higher-education.

Look at them. They are all tax rules. Man, am I glad to be retired from accounting. Everything changes every couple of years.

Ha ha ha! You losers still work? That is so passé. I thought that no one works anymore.

You just summarized the entire left beautifully.
 
I'm all for lowering taxes on the working class, but anytime lobbyists are involved im skeptical. I feel like abolishing the healthcare mandate (which is good) might just be the little bone they throw us to shut us up while we get raped everywhere else. Regardless of the plan's contents I'm not happy with the way they rolled it out completely in the dark and written by lobbyists, Obama style.

Exactly. With some hand written changes.

They've really got their shit together in Washington.
 
I hate that we're just continuing the trend...

If you (Congress) wants to spend, tax the shit out of people to pay for it. If you don't want to tax people so you can look good, don't spend what you don't have.

We have a 20+Trillion credit card balance lined up, and the interest on it is basically what we spend on the DoD and half of what we spend on Medicare/Medicaid overruns. I hate that we can't simplify the tax code, remove the "pay people to be here" loophole. (I understand if you're below a bracket and, with deductions, don't have to pay any taxes. I don't agree that if you, for instance, paid $1000 in taxes and have 2 children that the credits make it that the gov't owes you $1000 back. A refund of taxes paid is one thing. Paying a citizen to be here is something completely different.) If you want to incentivize/de-incentivize things like adoptions or private school education or small business ownership or higher education or whatever, do it outside of the tax laws.

And for the record, if you believe the sites, I'll have a reduction of between $4k (with the house) and $6k (Senate version) on mine. So it's not like I'm getting hosed and hate the bill.
