Trump's tax reform has cleared both the House and the Senate, back to the House today for the final vote, this should be a mere formality.

Here is a calculator to see what will it mean for you personally:

There is also a link here to calculate what would happen with the current (2017) rules:

It looks like there will indeed be significant savings for middle class families with this final version.

BTW, for those who care, graduate tuition wavers remain non-taxable,

Oh, and one more thing - do you remember how the Republicans were a party of 'No', how they refused to cooperate with Obama and blocked any legislative developments, and how this was oh-so-terrrrrible? Not a single Democrat voted for this bill, either in the House or in the Senate:

Does this Democratic obstructionism cause any concerns among those who vote for the Dems? Or is Trump so bad that all and any resistance is justified? Just curious.
