Following are two comparisons of old taxes and proposed tax plans for a single person using standard deductions. One making $60,000 a year (Joe Six Pack construction worker) and one of a low income worker making $24,000 a year. Additional deductions may come out of committee which will only reduce tax liability.
Current 2016
$60,000 gross income
$53,700 after standard deduction of $6,300
$49,650 after personal exemption of $4,050

$28,375 taxed @ 15% $4,256.25
$12,000 taxed @ 25% $3,000.00
For a total tax bill of $8,183.75
An effective tax rate of 13.64% on $60,000

$48,000 after standard deduction of $12,000

So don't let the liberals claim you're going to pay more in taxes. If nothing else after committees your tax bill will likely go down with added deductions.
