The GOP bill seems to be in clear violation of equal protection. That may be a broad stroke, but this bill clearly will harm millions of Americans while benefiting very few. AG Schneiderman has taken on hard fight before and hopefully his office will bring suit and help defeat this monstrous bill before it has a chance to decimate the middle and working classes of the country.

The so called tax bill passed in the dead of night, Friday, December 1, 2017 is a huge transfer of wealth from middle and lower income Americans to the rich. It undermines the individual mandate for the Affordable Care Act, destroys the value of nonprofit organizations, creates a new American aristocracy, eliminates educational tax credits and interest deductions and even opens up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for oil exploration. Republicans have admitted this abysmal piece of legislation was passed for the benefit of rich donors.

We are being taxed without representation.

Middle-class families will once again be hurt by this bill.

I am a 61-year-old female who is chronically ill with primary progressive MS. I am wheelchair-bound and require 24/7 aides to assist me with all activities of daily living. On average, individuals suffering from serious, chronic illnesses like cancer, cystic fibrosis, and multiple sclerosis, spend between $50,000 to $100,000 annually on treatments and medications. Individual Americans, such as myself, rely on the availability of the itemized deduction on their tax return to help reduce the effect of their overwhelming medical expenses. The value of this deduction to those whose lives are already faced with serious challenges is not offset by any of the proposed tax cuts and increasing the standard deduction would not ease the burden for the very sick. Nobody asks to be sick and it is demeaning to classify the itemization of medical expenses as a tax loophole. Maintaining this deduction should not fall prey to partisan politics. Special interest groups have the political and monetary clout to advocate on behalf of the preservation of deductions seen by them as useful to a particular industry. Those of us who are faced with serious illnesses must advocate for ourselves. Eliminating the medical deduction is cruel and unjust and should not be a part of any tax reform legislation.

Not only am I personally affected by this bill, but many students who are trying to become something for the future of this country will also be affected. We need to protect families and the future of this country.

I Love my Country. Please, we need some mercy now. Trump is a very unstable man with the power to light up the world. He admits to sexually molesting women without consent. Trump deeply insults our military active folks and vets. He claims to be the commander-in-chief even though he is in constant pain from bone spurs. He has collaborated with a declared enemy country. Keep the right? To own long guns with HUGE clips that are easily converted to rapid repeaters. Yes, we need a little mercy now.

My wife and I are retired with large medical bills. The medical tax deduction is vital to our financial security.

As a middle class tax payer, I'm outraged that we continue to pay higher taxes, lose deductions, be forced to pay for our own healthcare, while corporations and the super rich continue to get a free ride.

The tax bill proposed and being pushed through in the House of Representatives is again an attempt to balance the budget on the middle and lower class citizens and give the VERY rich a tax cut. Any tax cut they offer the middle and lower classes is set with an expiration date and the cuts for the uber rich is permanent.
