LOL...Rubio is just trying to get some spot light. Like he ever stood for anything before.
I will pay attention when someone like McCain or Collins says that they will not vote for the bill.
This thing is not going to pass this year. The Alabama vote has put fear into the Republican Senators/Congressman. You're starting to see the trickling in of doubt from the people that voted Yes. I'm starting to think they voted Yes just so it progresses forward knowing that the eventual vote would be no.
I still went out of my way to write a nasty letter to Mimi Walters. That new commercial she has been running just makes me want to vomit.
Don't get me wrong, I will probably be a little better off or flat in terms taxes mainly because of the AMT change. I just don't believe in this tax reform and have a hard time believing any of these proponents of the new law. All these guys are just arrogant creeps including the king of them all Trump.

Interesting. All things points to past and now a NO. Looks like the Grinch might show up late to spoil the Richie rich game.

Not me, pass-thru income FTW! Plus I used to be fully phased out of SALT via AMT, now I might actually get a deduction for it.

I assume your not going to give your staff a big raise (more than a merit raise) or hire more people like GOP members are saying. (Small business owners are going to make more money and they are going to give more to their workers)

I don't have any staff...just me, myself, and I but I do use colleagues to help me with open houses when I have 2 on the same day and I pay them for their time.

So are you going to hire someone?
I already know the answer. You will only hire someone if it make business sense. (So the tax reform is not magical like the GOP are selling)

That has always been a myth . As someone who has closely worked with very senior levels of management as a consultant, I can tell you they give a cr**p about workers - they are nothing more than numbers on a spreadsheet to be shrunk as they merge and acquire and get sold. As companies have grown bigger and bigger with lesser competition, this is one reason why middle class wages have failed to keep pace.
As to smaller businesses, they pay their workers more only when they are forced to, to retain or acquire talent . To that extent, if consumer confidence remains high and unemployment keeps falling I can see wages rise and more workers get hired , but it will not be because business owners suddenly are feeling generous from additional money in their pockets . There are obviously exceptions.
Many GOP voters are dumb-i-fied from Fox News but even they understand this bill is not driven by logic to help workers, hence its unpopularity.
As someone else said, current GOP is so boneheaded that they have achieved the unique feat of making Obamacare popular and tax cuts unpopular

USC will probably buy another Porsche. As per GOP, Porsche will increase their sales, and will employ more people, resulting in a job growth and stability. LOLs
