GOP tax plan failed to END subsidies and loopholes to the
special interests
GOP promise to ‘reform’ tax code in A
Better Way. Speaker Ryan wrote:;;
“The tax code is littered with hundreds of preferences and
subsidies that pick winners and losers and create complexity. Instead of
free-market competition that rewards success, our tax code directs resources to
politically favored interests, creating a drag on economic growth and job
creation. In fact, Washington
encourages individuals and businesses to make investment decisions based not on
the most promising new technologies and innovations, but instead on the promise
of tax savings. Many of these tax preferences, sometimes referred to as “tax
expenditures,” are special-interest
giveaways that are masked as tax breaks instead of direct grants. For
fiscal year 2016, such “spending” through the tax code amounts to more than
$1.4 trillion, or almost three-fourths of the amount of revenue raised by the
entire Federal income tax. When Washington
picks winners and losers with the tax code, the American people ultimately pay
higher tax rates and keep less of their hard-earned money.”
Instead
they kept the preferences and subsidies and made the code 429 pages longer:

‘postcard’ tax return just moves calculations to extra pages.

Congress tax
‘reform’ lowered tax rate but kept subsidies for profitable companies.
HALF of Americans
will see taxes raised to pay for subsides and loopholes
GOP tax ‘reform’
means lowering the rate to 20% AND increasing
their subsidy. We currently subsidize the oil industry by as much as $4.8
billion a year, with about half of that going to the big five oil
companies—ExxonMobil, Shell, Chevron, BP, Conoco Phillips—which get an average
tax break of $3.34 on every barrel of domestic crude they produce. But they
are already profitable at $100 a barrel so why the subsidy. We taxpayers
have been paying them a subsidy to drill since 1916. They don’t need the
subsidy and depletion allowance anymore but our ‘reps’ depend on their money to
get elected so the Congress does not repeal subsidies in the ‘reform’ bills.
Oil is not alone:
gas, coal, cotton,
Corn, Wheat,
Soybeans, Rice, Beer, Milk, Beef, Peanut Butter, etc
Special interests won! NO
subsidies/loopholes repealed! Tax shelters left open!
GOP repealed NONE of
the 1,833 business subsidies. GOP
repealed 32 deductions used by middle class. Apple and 500 corporations can
leave their $2 TRILLION profits UN-taxed overseas. They also get to keep their subsidies
and loopholes and foreign cash reserves we still pay for. They were NOT
repealed. 1,833
large companies have received federal grants and/or tax credits worth $17.8
Trillion. Instead of giving our
money to firms and people that are already making money, we
could pay down the debt, which used to worry the GOP. Since our tax cuts
are reversed in 2025, you need a shelter.

There is just one way left for us to avoid paying for
corporate and wealthy tax breaks
The GOP has just one
‘corporate subsidy’ repeal in the ‘reform’ bill—“marginal oil and gas
wells.” All significant corporate and tax shelters were left in tact. Trump’s
mob, Commerce Sec Ross,
State Dept. Tillerson, advisor Cohn, Treasury Mnuchin, Fed v-chair Quarles, and
Ambassador Jon Huntsman hide their money in various shelters under fake
firms/names. The new report
says they hide their money in the Cayman
Islands. Apple
hides its money in the tiny island of Jersey. What
can we do to avoid paying for these subsidies
and business
tax credits? You and I do NOT have to hide our money in a foreign
country. We do NOT have to hire a lawyer to create fake firms and names.
You and I have a legal tax shelter here with an IRS Sec. 408 Trust.

Younger singles go for Bronze ObamaCare for less
If your employer does not offer care, you may save by using
ObamaCare, ACA, HealthCare.gov same. Employers usually require you to pay—some
take over $6,000 from your pay for some plans. If you have no health issues but
still need catastrophic care for an accident or illness, you may find exactly
what you need at HealthCare.gov. Subsidies
for the monthly premium are available to those with incomes of $45,000 and
so the only expense may be the deductible. If you anticipate no health
expenses, your annual outlay could be tiny. Open enrollment for 2018 ends this Dec.
15. 2.3
million have signed just in 18 days—more than when Obama was prez. Congress
is unlikely to fix it by 2018, an election year. Get help: https://localhelp.healthcare.gov/#/

Most rich people would rather have better infrastructure
than less tax
When you are already wealthy, you have fulfilled your
desires and your relative position in the community hierarchy does not change
when everyone gets a tax break. KS cut in taxes recently (and then a reversal)
proved that cuts
don’t produce growth. They just mean schools are worse, roads
aren’t repaired, water pipes, power lines, other utilities are not fixed,
and the quality of life falls. Granted that some tax money is wasted and
governments are subject to corruption. However, rich
people can’t live on special things alone. Their Rolls won’t last long on
potholed streets. But not every American wants to live in a company
town like Wichita with the Koch ‘blessings.’ In fact, most Americans think
this tax
cut is wrong at this time. The wealthy donors that keep our ‘reps’ in
champagne like it. The rich have always had legal ways to cut taxes without the
IRS. Corporations
have thousands of ways to cut taxes now—shelters, fake subsidies, global
addresses, tax lawyers, and lobbyists for Congress. Congress could do better
for all working people. Corporations
don’t even plan to expand the economy.

Overpaying for car insurance can cost $640,000 over time
65% of us overpay for coverage. If we save the average of $500
a year by purchasing the right policy and taking our discounts, we could have
an extra
$640,000 by the time we retire. Most people have coverage for at least 50
years. For 40 years, our $1000 savings could grow to $530,000.
Investing that $500 a year in a low-cost stock index fund uses the Miracle
of Compounding over time. It is just math: https://www.amazon.com/Miracle-Compounding-Turn-day-into/dp/1470176513.

Trump and GOP are promising higher wages from corporate tax
cut
“The hourly wages
of high-wage workers rose 41 percent in the 34-year period between 1979 and
2013; the hourly
wages of middle-wage workers grew 6 percent in that time frame, and the
wages of low-wage workers fell 5 percent” according to the Economic Policy Institute. We did NOT
see a bump in wages when Bush II cut taxes. Why would a company use its
added cash to pay us more when we have been taking less since the 70s? They
don’t use their subsidies to pay more wages, why would they use cash?
Wouldn’t you keep it in a shelter or pay your own executives and investors more
if you were in charge? Since the firms have money why
would they invest the cuts in new operations? They haven’t and won’t. Fed
revenue from corporate taxes has fallen while our taxes for Social Security and
Medicare have ballooned. Our taxes are low compared to the world.
NO Don, this is NOT
a middle class tax cut: https://www.amazon.com/Only-little-people-pay-taxes/dp/1478222441
Where is the best place to save for your kids’ college
tax-FREE?
Morningstar, the fund-rating service, has upgraded its
rankings on six 529 college-savings plans and downgraded three others, the
research firm announced Tuesday.
Bright Start College Savings of Illinois received the gold
ranking. The other gold
programs—Invest529 of Virginia, the Vanguard 529 College Savings Plan of
Nevada and the Utah Educational Savings Plan—remained unchanged from last year.
Among the downgrades, Franklin Templeton 529 College Savings Plan of New Jersey
sank the lowest, dropping from neutral to negative because of its uncompetitive
fees and sudden declines in equity exposure that leave it open to market-timing
risk, Morningstar said.
