Congress and Trump are preparing to change the tax structure of the United States. While no one disagrees with the idea of improving our system of taxation, there are serious disagreements with what the changes should entail. As currently proposed, people like Trump will benefit the most, not only saving serious money every year, but doing so by taking money from folks who earn less than they do. CNN reports that "the GOP Senate budget calls for "$473 billion in cuts from Medicare over 10 years." That would be a painful blow to over 55 million Americans."
There are many other cuts to other programs that the administration and Congress really don't want ordinary Americans to know about. The only good news about the proposals being looked at is that the Trump administration has not been effective in getting their wishes done yet in nearly a year of attempts. But that is a double edged sword as it makes it even more important that they do something, anything.
Once again I urge everyone to pay attention and complain vociferously if the tax proposals are a problem for you and yours. Since most of us don't have the kind of money that will get massive benefits, that probably means most of you.
