Ways to take advantage of the tax plan:
Try to get convert your job into a pass-through corporation, if at all possible, and especially if your marginal tax rate is above whatever tax rate they end up setting for those corporations. They may exclude "service professionals" like lawyers, doctors, accountants, etc. Some sources say there may be an exception to that exclusion if you make <$500k. Stay tuned to that.
Other ways to win:
1. if you care enough about this, move to a low-income-tax state. State governments don't do anything useful other than run prisons to confine murderers, occasionally fix a pothole in the interstate highways and find abused children foster homes. Personally I'll fork over the extra money to live in California instead of Texas, but may consider Florida as a backup.
2. Buy a cheaper house in a cheaper neighborhood. Good roads are for sissies. But seriously, you probably own too much house.
3. All you people factoring in the existence of Social Security and Medicare when you are >65yo, don't. The job creators "investing" in "middle America" may want that for their pockets also.
4. Work for some organization that has a deferred-compensation 457(b) plan. Seriously, if your employer doesn't have this, they suck. No matter how much free coffee they give you in the cafeteria, it's not $18,000 worth.
Anyone have other suggestions? (Snark allowed, but as long as its sandwiched into a suggestion - snark - suggestion format).
