The House Passes their version of Tax "Reform." More winners and losers listed below


Previous Posts have highlighted potential winners and losers on the Republican proposals for tax "reform." Here are some more. Some are repeats worth emphasizing. Some are new. The people need to decide if this version of tax reform is what our country needs and whether the public (or plutocratic) servants that promote them should remain in their current positions.

Winners
The One Percent
Private Jet Owners
The Trump Family

Losers
College Students
The President's Base
People who have Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security
The Middle and Lower Classes

No Effect
The American Economy
