<mod note> Let’s all focus on the content of the bill and how it affects us, if at all. Disagreements with the rhetoric go nowhere very quickly.
I'm fairly certain the bill will affect all Americans.
Here's the content and and how it affects me:
15% Min corp tax - I'll pay extra for goods and services to companies trying to recoup their additional tax
Prescription drug pricing reform. - I don't take prescription drugs, so this will not affect me
IRS tax enforcement. - Shouldn't affect me, but if it does it will affect me negatively
Carried Interest Loophole - Probably doesn't affect me
Energy Security and Climate Change - The bill claims to lower energy costs, and reduce carbon emissions 40% by 2030. Bill doesn't explain how they propose to accomplish this. Past history shows that cleaner energy is accomplished through increased regulation that usually raises energy costs.
ACA Extension - Doesn't affect me.
Deficit reduction of $300 billion. - I'll believe it if/when I see it.
It's almost a given that this bill is going to cost me some dough without any gains at least in my lifetime. But I'm all for it if it doesn't cost me anything.
