Trump’s tax cut plan—yes or no?

I have been against it from the beginning because everything I’ve read about it states that it favors the wealthy and big business and that taxes on the middle class will eventually actually increase. It is also calling for the elimination of many deductions that the middle class rely on and even one that teachers currently have for some school supplies. I also suspect that the GOP will want to cut funding for social programs to pay for these tax cuts and I am totally against that.
My husband and I were talking a few minutes ago and somehow the topic came up. He said “I just hope the tax cuts go though”. I looked at him totally horrified. I said “are you insane?” They will hurt the middle class! We are middle class!” He then informed me that we would save about $7000 a year under the new tax plan.
I don’t know what or who to believe on this.

There's so much red tape added in, our middle class always gets to pay more, while the wealthy reap benefits from every situation!

@NJChicaa The basic plan of the Republicans, make the rich wealthier, at the expense of the middle class.
