This is the site I was using and, provided it is correct that the standard deduction for a married couple will be $24k and children are $2k each, then the median American family with two children do not pay federal taxes

I'm trying to make sense of this and I can't get round it, this is absurd. No wonder it costs a trillion dollars if the only people you tax are single, childless and poor

bonus; this is one hell of a penalty for having more than two kids. Quick check of a 2015 pew article says that includes 51% hispanic families, 40% black families, 34% white families, unless tax credits count to a rebate? I'm not sure

Single black woman with no kids earns $30k a year less than our median married white family and pays $1400 more in federal taxes

I think what happened was Comey, almost certainly after being specifically asked by Trump, repeatedly told him he was not personally under investigation, but rather, his campaign was, and Trump repeatedly heralded the first half the statement publicly as a sign that he was totally in the clear, and also kept asking because he was hoping that doing so might magically change the answer.

more like comey was being evasive and calculated in his response. Get trump off his back by giving him technically correct answer that trump wasnt personally under investigation....yet

I'd get about $1100 or 3/4 of a paycheck in savings.

Not worth it since that amount isn't going to cover the increased costs of, well, everything they're gutting to pay for it.

It is, and it should be, but leading up to senate passage was some incredibly talk out of the democratic camp. There was Manchin and Schumer’s garbage about bipartisan bill-crafting, but that’s less cause for concern than Duckworth and Jones coming out front in favor of lowering corporate rates. Rhetoric doesn’t necessarily correlate with action but neither is action necessarily detached from earlier rhetoric. Imagine less that nothing changes but rather what is done is tantamount to, ultimately, another austerity measure seemingly less so by comparison to what the Republicans are ramming through.

This doesn’t even touch upon my belief about what should be done after this passes. What this bill does is so barbaric that merely recovering from the effects require more than a return to the status quo.

nah, he's just following the manchin route: he's from a deep red state and the way to get re-elected is to be loudly republican where it will help in the state (which is why nobody bit on obamacare repeal and the current tax nonsense, which nobody likes) and doesn't matter and quietly democratic where it does. in other news, manchin is looking reasonably likely to get re-elected in loving west virginia.

Dems desperately need to end up with 52+ Senators if Manchin gets reelected because while he does vote Democratic on some things he definitely wants to be seen as a person who reaches across the aisle and the GOP would definitely bribe him for things they want/need to pass.

I'll take him over any Republican but he'll be another Lieberman if his vote can make or break things for Dems.

It's the Democrats so they'll probably try to frame it as "we're going to reverse the Trump tax cuts, vote for us in 2018 and 2020!"

If the Democrats can improve their messaging even half as much as they've recently improved their ground game (VA and now AL) then maybe they'll craft a proper "Trump and the GOP raised taxes on tens of millions of hard working Americans so that they could give that money to their lazy rich friends" message though.

not every farm has triple digit cats but once you have a semiferal cat colony it ends up being a substantial population of low maintenance inbred murderers
