The difference is what he took away, union dues 5.7k+ deduction, perdiem deduction well north of 10K... my effective tax rate several points higher. I’m a conservative, but Trump tax hike is taking food off my table. He ain’t no friend of labor.. that’s what we, pilots, all are, we know that, right???:mad:

Slight thread drift, how is per diem calculated while doing the AE training in Virginia Ave? Not based in Atlanta. Kinda hoping it's 2.45 X 24 hrs for the 4ish weeks.

6- quit voting for politicians that raise taxes
The GOP is now the tax and spend party. I no longer vote for them. But unfortunately one of them got elected who raised taxes on myself and many others, then increased discretionary spending 15% last year, while collecting less revenue overall. |

I've been told of things that were to my knowledge intentional tax fraud as well. I don't believe there is a limitation on the gubmt prosecuting a deliberate fraud. Pretty dangerous territory. OFG

For the few things it must do, should be funded by user fees. https://3.bp.blogspot.com/--7yVDxFdf...nn_diagram.jpg |
As much as we like to ***** about taxes it’s interesting to note that amongst the largest world economies the us tax rates are low overall.
