The Drumpf Middle Class Tax Increase Bill

I am a CPA, and have looked at the numbers.

The fucking media is useless, continuing to call this "tax reform" or "tax cuts." It is Nothing even close.

I am recommending to all my clients that they figure out a way to Incorporate themselves.....or if they are really wealthy, just DIE.

If you are alive, it pays to be a Corporation to get benefit from this bill. If you are REALLY, REALLY Well Off, it pays to be Dead, to take advantage of no Estate Tax.

I figure maybe 3 or 4 of my 150+ clients will benefit from this bill, mostly on the Estate side of things. Of course, living does not help them much since the Estate Tax elimination is only of value to dead folks.

we really think that if the future numbers are bad for health care, deficits, cuts to programs, inequality, etc that the govt will actually tell us how bad they are?

They are in a position to do shade the figures, lie. Would Trump EVER let bad reports, bad results, bad numbers escape government offices? His numbers will be the BEST numbers! Even if they aren't.

No defense against that.
