Legislation can be complicated and hard to understand. Especially legislation around taxes, which is why Ben Shapiro’s three-tweet breakdown of the GOP tax plan is super helpful.
Unless you’re Massachusetts or California.
Or a Democrat.
GOP tax plan is pretty good for you so long as you don't have severe medical expenses or live in California or Massachusetts.

Could be worse.
Besides, didn’t California say they wanted to secede anyway?
This isn't sarcasm. It's good for middle class, quite good for corporations, but really nails people in high-property price blue states.

It’s about damn time we had a tax plan that actually did work for the middle class. Democrats like to pretend the Right only cares about making the rich richer, but really it’s the middle class that is paying the price for the current, progressive tax system.
The rich have loopholes and the poor are often exempt, which leaves the rest of us poor schmucks in the middle to pick up the tab.
But tell us more about how evil Republicans are for wanting to give Americans back more of their own money.
And that's not GOP's fault. Why should the feds subsidize CA's and MA's high tax rates?

Why indeed? Wyomingites aren’t benefitting from the programs in these states, why should they foot the bill? Why should anyone who doesn’t live in those states have to give a damn about subsidizing their crazy tax rates?
It will hurt some of us in Illinois too. We are willing to take the hit.

It should be up to the states to take care of these funding issues, not the feds.
It's a genius plan to get blue states to be reasonable about taxes. Or they'll just continue to raise property/state/local taxes

Raise taxes … it’s all Democrats really know how to do.
Well that and lie, cheat and steal, but you get the point.
