So today the proposed tax bill made its way through the House of Representatives by a 22 vote margin. This is kind of huge due to the fact that a tax bill has not been passed like this in a while. Not a single democrat voted in favor for the bill and about a dozen Republicans voted against the bill but never the less it still went through. The thing is these bills often include more substance than just the issue of tax as we have seen time and time again when a huge bill makes its way through the house. The reality is that this bill if it makes its way further through the law making process will see itself change into something much different than what it currently is. For instance, the bill currently has within its content a repeal of the Affordable Care Act. This is huge because the president CANNOT line item veto the bill once it makes its way to his desk so if Trump really wants the bill to go through he will sign it without ever really looking into the fine print. This bill is supposed to redistribute the tax burden on those states like New York and California who's personal state and sales tax are high and low tax states basically have to supplement the difference in taxes to those states. Personally, I'm broke as can be so no amount of tax change alters my life of roman noodles and $0.99 sandwiches.
As always, I have used Allsides (Politico) as my means of information because I like the approach of the website. The blog speaks on the subject and provides three separate stories from the LEFT, RIGHT, and CENTER. Please skim through them and consider each of their approaches and what information that they choose to provide. Make up your own conclusion on the subject and go from there.
Have a wonderful day and comment below if you feel so. :)
