GOP Tax Law Authors Take a Beating

Trump Engaged in Suspect Tax Schemes as He Reaped Riches From His Father
nytimes.com
The president has long sold himself as a self-made billionaire, but a Times investigation found that he received at least $413 million in today’s dollars from his father’s real estate empire, much of it through tax dodges in the 1990s."The tax law passed late last year included slews of changes that will have wide impacts across the U.S. Among them is a likely jump in the numbers of Americans who'll owe taxes when they file 2018 returns. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) recently issued a report warning that more than 4.5 million taxpayers will come up short next April, unless they act now to adjust their withholding amounts.
This is because the tax law limited or even eliminated many itemized deductions claimed by millions of taxpayers -- nearly 28 million of them for 2017. The biggest contributors to this are the new limits on state and local tax deductions (the SALT deductions), a restriction on the amount you can deduct for home mortgage interest and the elimination of the deduction for job-related expenses.
Those most likely to owe tax for 2018 are those who itemize deductions. The GAO looked closely at this group and provided more clarity as to who it will include. Specifically, married taxpayers who itemize deductions, with two children under age 17, income exceeding $180,000 from one or more jobs and who have $20,000 or more in nonwage income (dividends, interest or capital gains) are highly likely to have to pay additional tax when they file next year."
TL;DR: We're getting screwed.

Companies used Trump's tax cut for record stock buybacks, not wages

The White House promised '70 percent' of the tax cut would go to workers. It didn't.45 and friends pitch the idea that services such as healthcare are something we have to "pay for", but preventative medicine and education actually stave off future costs. Meanwhile, Drumpf's tax cuts are about to further wreck the balance sheet while lining the pockets of the Wealthy Criminal Class.
CBO projects grim budget outlook under Trump
thehill.com
A new report from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projects a grim fiscal outlook for the United States, which is seeing rising red ink under President Trump.The majority of Americans know: GOP #TaxReform is theft.
“...voters continue to be skeptical it’s actually going to help them on a personal level. Just 30% say they think it will help their family’s finances, to 33% who think it will hurt, and 25% who don’t think it will have an impact either way.”
“51% think it will mostly benefit the rich to 30% for the middle class, and just 7% for the poor.”

Federal employee groups are encouraging fast action from the General Services Administration to quickly update tax regulations and write new guidance on tax deductible moving and travel expenses.Individual mandate repeal packaged in the tax scam just jacked up everybody's health care costs.
Spread the word.
"President Trump's former top health official on Tuesday said the Republican tax law would raise the cost of health insurance for some Americans because it repealed a core provision of the Affordable Care Act.
...
'There are many, and I’m one of them, who believes that that actually will harm the pool in the exchange market, because you’ll likely have individuals who are younger and healthier not participating in that market, and consequently that drives up the cost for other folks within that market,' Price said at the World Health Care Conference in Washington."

""Old habits run deep," says Chris Rupkey, chief financial economist at MUGF, a financial services firm with offices in New York. "I would be surprised if much of the corporate tax cut money ends up in workers' pockets."
The reason? Companies, Rupkey says, are reluctant to increase their permanent wage costs. He also argues that "everyone has a boss," and that companies are "managing up" by paying out their increased after-tax profits to stockholders."
