-I own a home (SALT deduction capped at 10k)
-I’m a pilot (lost union expenses, uniform cleaning, and per diem differential)

I’m obviously really annoyed with this GOP tax reform as it raised my taxes and a significant amount of other people (pilots were hit especially hard).

George Bush passed a tax cut that benefited 100% of Americans. Barack Obama made that tax cut permanent for 99% of Americans. Now Trump comes along and actually RAISES taxes on lots of Americans, and his reform cost more than the previous two... WTH
that's actually because of the state you live in. Maybe your state should lower your state taxes?
