Looks like an all-around bad bill. This only seems to really benefit large corporations.... I don't necessarily mean large as in 'the biggest 50 in the world' but large from the standpoint of a normal person.

Even while some pass-through entity benefits made it through, and (i think) some property tax deductions (Seems like up to 10k?) based on my understanding this is going to continue to drive wealth distribution to the top, creating structural hurdles for the less fortunate to rise up.

Oh well, here's hoping for a financial revolution, maybe we can disrupt it all with crypto-currency and send the Davos elite into a frenzy.

Way to drain the swamp Donnie Boy.

The Republican Congress desperately needed this to appease their donors.

I guess the silver lining could be that this will speed up the unraveling of the Republican Party because, again, they did this strictly for their donors and not for the American people, and were blatant in making sure that this was nothing but a way to continue to get enough money to attempt to keep their jobs.

What a despicable way to pass important legislation. The same folks who howled that the dems passed the ACA in "just a year," (while it held open, public hearings in five committees, mind you) are now passing the biggest tax bill in history with ZERO days of hearings, forging a trillion dollar raid for billionaires behind a closed door in a smoke filled room and passing it in the dead of night.
