it is a good investment since the tax hike on SALT is permanent, the tax hike via inflation rules is permanent, but the cut via standard deduction is not

anyway my effective tax rate went up

my salary went up also because prior to the tax bill passing my employer, a nonprofit that sees no benefit from the bill, gave me a $5000 annual raise.

I'm pretty sure it didn't take effect for me yet. It looks like my yearly pay raise did, though, so I did get some extra money this pay. I could be wrong, but it didn't look like anything to do with a tax cut to me on my pay stub.

if it means corporations would also receive less of the money they have been granted in revenues and the long-term inflation model used to calculate my future taxes is more favorable, yes.

With all the companies reinvesting into the american economy and the tens of thousands of jobs slated to be created, due solely to the tax reform, I cant believe there are people petty enough to prefer those people remain on unemployment over having Trump not in office cause of *no clearly defined gripes that cant be disputed*

1) social security was never the entire foundation of retirement income; prior to the 401k, companies provided defined-benefit pensions. 401ks are the successor to that
2) about 40% of americans have a 401k

Social security is dumb shit yes. Its not sustainable. As people live longer, everyone is being a fucking reckless dumbass, the economy is changed by automation and the government constantly runs a massive deficit....yeah not gonna feel secure about actually benefiting from it 50 years from now when I am at the retirement age(assuming the age will have raised a few years by that time). I would be better off not getting it taken from me and JUST FUCKING SAVING AND INVESTING MYSELF.

it's a low-risk, guaranteed-return investment. this is a good part of a retirement asset portfolio, and the fact that it's required means the largest risk--the investor failing to actually invest--is mitigated.

No, no, no. Uncle Sam has to take care of that for you. Just like he decides what clients a private business owner can decide to do business with.
