>Pence has spoken! The Cruz amendment has passed. twitter.com/nytpolitics/status/936825213748047872 >Latest from the Senate: Vice President Mike Pence provided a tie-breaking vote to pass an amendment on the tax bill offered by Senator Ted Cruz.
My personal favorites: >Repealing the Individual ObamaCare Mandate! (Special thanks to Cruz and Rand Paul) >Reducing individual tax rates across the board, doubling the standard deduction and expanding the child tax credit. >State and Local Tax (SALT) almost totally removed (California and NY commies hate it). >Death tax repeal (maybe), medical expense+student loan deductions removed bigly. >Most small businesses will pay less taxes. >the BEAT provisions as currently drafted undermine the US renewable energy industry’s capacity to use renewable energy tax credits. >It just might be Ted Cruz’s biggest victory as a senator: Helping stop in its tracks a plan late Thursday night to add $350 billion in tax increases to the Senate’s tax bill to placate fellow Republican Senator Bob Corker’s worries about the deficit.
Many people wonder how many Democrats will vote for the bill eventually when it is sure that Republicans will be able to pass it on their own: My guess is 3!
Cruz is making progress in redeeming himself after that "vote your conscience" shenanigans.
Jonathan Sullivan
3 Democrats are confirmed to be voting YES to pass Tax Reform! >John McCain >Lindsay Graham >Jeff Flake
Julian Phillips
With how long the amendments take I assume there will be no vote tonight. This shit is retarded. Voting shouldn't take 30 minutes when there's only 100 people.
Easton Long
This is a good thing right?
Brandon Ortiz
Yes. Best timeline indeed. Anybody got a live stream to this?
Owen Wright
>why are they lowering my taxes without my permissions? Reeeeeee
I could probably sustain myself on welfare queen tears tonight, but this balvanie ain’t gonna metabolize itself.
Luke Williams
He wants to be president and is learning what it takes to appeal to middle america better. He's learning well from Trump.
Jaxson Hughes
Haven't you read the Protocols? We're going to beg for the next President to undo the fuckup. Part of the path toward communism
Ian Davis
Nope.
It robs the poor and middle class to pay for a $6 trillion tax break to the richest 1% and corporations.
I'm like 99% sure the House will pass this bill as is to avoid another debacle like the Obamacare repeal. The House plan is better, yes, but doesn't include the Obamacare mandate repeal and considering how close this is going to be the GOP can't risk going to conference and hoping Collins or Mukowski doesn't defect in the meanwhile.
Charles Perry
They've gone far later into the night than this
Nathaniel Mitchell
Someone hasn't calculated their taxes. Unless you are in the absolute bottom tier tax bracket, and never leave, there's a really good chance you're going to make more money under the new plan.
setting aside the woo woo bullshit, if there's a real plan to send america into a real communist state it's this.
The pendulum swings are only going to get bigger
Caleb Stewart
I see what you did there, user
Colton Diaz

Brody James
who are those kids on the floor?
Daniel Wood
Protocols of Learned Eldera of Zion are real and a must read for all White men and women. But I am at loss for how is this tax cut in line with Protocols?
Cameron Harris
>This is thirld world non-sense >Lets violently take over Npcs act weird some times
Christopher Johnson
this is making me excited for Alabama election. if Roy wins the salt will be second only to Trump's election
Julian Ortiz
Is Mitch McConnell even alive
Xavier Perry
Only if he isn't another commie faggot that's going to shit up the state. If he is fuck off we're full.
Zachary James
Are they getting rid of carried interest as Trump promised?
Carson Walker
>people who disagree with me are shills. I don't even get gibs but I have enough sense to know that not giving money to Tyrone will only result in more crime and people breaking into other people's home. This will be normalized.
Noah Murphy
reddit storming the capitol to downboat the tax bill with lead... this timeline..
Isaac Carter
>the second amendment is to prevent the tyranny of the government lowering your taxes
Luke Lewis
Did they take out the child deduction? The one that was going to raise birthrates?
Jeremiah Cooper
Have they voted on the obama fee?
Xavier Foster
>Having to pay less taxes cost more than ever increasing insurance premiums Liberals can't into math, it seems.
Sebastian King

Nolan Bailey
Is John McCain still awake?
Dude looks like he might die tonight
Aaron Martinez

Hunter Nelson
Get comfy lad!
Jordan Smith
>I don't even get gibs If you didn't get gibs you wouldn't feel the need to point it out. Why would you go on the internet and lie like that?
Wyatt Jones
Yeah fuck you caine
Dylan Allen
Holy shit! Kek it doesn’t get much better!
Gabriel Adams
Pages. They do the menial shit
Jaxon Davis
I know but I don't want to jinx it
Connor Phillips

Nicholas Taylor
If you're poor as shit you don't have to pay anything now, also I'll take someone poor as shit over a welfare queen any day.
Wyatt Allen
Sup Forums will defend this
Jaxon Wright
It would be poetic if he did
Isaac Bell
>Lowering just about everyone's taxes is tyranny! Jesus.
Blake Gutierrez
Pretty sure the security would stop you
Zachary Russell
>less tax revenue = more debt
What?
I don't think you understand a single thing of what you're saying, not even your math.
Brody Carter
Why would Sup Forums defend a liberal fantasy?
Tyler Perry
they're doing the bidding of the lobbyists and billionaires who are lining their pockets to vote Yes on this bullshit bill.
none of them even read the bill yet and didn't want the bill to be pushed to Monday so the public actually knows whats in it
Matthew Hill
I don't get it, why are they acting so crazy? They're going to benefit from this too.
Liam Smith
wtf is your problem. Why would you automatically assume that? Is it because you're retarded?
Zachary Perry
YOU. ARE. A. SHILL.
Nathan Jackson
so much salt, so much precious salt
Nathaniel Rodriguez
>your personal finances are the same as the nation's public finances! Less money taken from me and given to shaniqua is a good thing, faggot.
Brandon Wood
I forgot Texas even had a 2nd senator
Aiden Wright
You think these fags pay taxes?
Adrian Scott
Wait, so what's the final corporate tax rate gonna be?
Cameron Flores
Thanks dude
Angel Baker
It better not happen until after the vote. I don't want this getting fucked up.
Jace Nguyen
Holy fuck guys. Is every fucking senator gonna propose an amendment?
Adam Wright
Not if they are stuck in the lowest tax bracket. If they are, it's gonna raise their taxes by about 2%.
Noah Green
wait wait wait, I live in shitty Jew York City and I'm middle class and have my own small business, is this gonna fuck me over?
Ayden Green
Morons, all of yah.
Cameron Hall
It is perfectly normal and acceptable to assume a nigger is on gibs.
Mason Torres
It really is astonishing at how little you know about obamacare, this tax bill, and how taxes work and are spent.
Hunter Anderson
Probably. SALT is gonna get repealed. New Yorkers aren't gonna be able to deduct their state taxes from their federal taxes.
