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.

The good that universities do would simply not be possible without graduate students. Graduate students already face a huge financial burden--they survive on small stipends while teaching classes and assisting with research on top of their own studies. Often they're forced to take on extra jobs and/or debt to make it through. And yet they're a vital engine of our intellectual life. They deserve our respect, our thanks, and our protection. And if Congress makes graduate school impossible to pursue for the many, this country is going to lose out on a generation of thinkers.

The Paradise Papers leak has exposed the role of high-ranking Trump administration officials pushing the Republican Tax Bill, especially Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross and other influential figures already benefiting from the use of offshore tax havens. The "Paradise Papers leaks further illustrate why we must not pass a tax bill that gives obscene profits to the ultra-wealthy global elite at the expense of the working class until a comprehensive investigation into conflicts of interest and corrupt dealings is complete. The expansive leaks show that the officials behind pushing the depraved Republican Tax Bill are at the core of the super-wealthy global elite who already hide their money in offshore accounts and tax havens. In the wealthiest country on earth, we the people demand congress investigate the Bermuda leak links to the big money behind the tax bill before they vote to give bigger breaks to corporations that ship jobs overseas and then vote to cut access to healthcare, social security, medicare, Medicaid and other crucial programs paid for by working people.

I am a hard working baby boomer who is set to retire in 2027 and currently on Medicaid. I have worked hard most of my life and have had Medicare, FICA and Social Security taken out of my check all of these years. I do NOT WANT TO BE CHEATED OUT OF WHAT I HAVE WORKED FOR and I'm sure others like me feel the same!

We need to be fiscally responsible for a change. America needs to help those affected by natural disasters. We need to begin rebuilding our infrastructure. We need to insure all Americans have access to affordable health care. This cannot happen if we reduce taxes.
