I'm poor as shit, but this Bill means I can double my income without paying federal income tax. I'm stoked. You saying that everyone should be paying federal income taxes is shifting the burden to the poor.
As an inhabitant of the country you get to use its infrastructure so you should be willing to chip in a few bucks to buy toilet paper for the Congress Critters. Don't you want them to have clean butts?
If the billionaires have all of the money then it becomes worthless. Even their minions will sooner or later be willing to bust a cap in their butts. As a mature person I would never defend a system that I don't have a legitimate stake in. I might do it if I was an ignorant teen or twenty-something but never as a mature adult.
If the tax bill passes your quality of life will eventually decline and you will end up living in a third world country. Enjoy.
Stupid.
