The Ultimate Winner
This is confusing, I have a nice home, my property tax doesn’t exceed $10,000. I guess I’m not rich enough...wait!! I thought the bill only helped the rich and yet they will pay more? Hmmmm....looks like the media lied to us.

Actually the cost of housing is a very local matter. We are seeing a shortage of affordable housing in favor of high end housing. I can see young professionals in the suburbs having property tax bills over $10,000 and being essentially middle class. The number of people paying out 40% or more of their income in this country is rising and it is not just lower class people. The bill does help the rich in that it allows them to shelter their income and pay lower taxes. First of all, the carried interest deduction was retained and even Trump admits this is garbage. Then you have the pass-through rates which will allow people to shield up to 30% of their income. Also passive investors in these businesses will be able to pay the lower rate on 100% of their income. Also you have the pass-through being extended to real-estate trusts which helps Paul Ryan, Bob Corker who changed his vote to yes, and Donald Trump.

The average property tax payment is $3296, so spare me the BS, you would need a pretty nice home and have to be making a good living to afford a home that the property taxes are over $10,000.
