Stanky, what tax changes would have to be passed to call the republican tax change successful? If they stay as they are, is that failure? I'm retired, living a very drab existance and paying about 10 to 12 percent on what I draw. When I say drab, I don't have fancy vacations, I can buy the wife, kids and grandkids presents, plenty to eat, no new cars and I didn't have to give up anything because of money shortages. For me the current tax system is not killing me. Will the republican changes help me?
