That last sentence is not universally true as deductions of alimony and interest on home equity loans are gone as above reported. Nor will interest on new mortgages over $750K be deductible. The old limit was $1M. Plus the itemized SALT deductions for property tax and state sales or income tax are now capped at a mere $10K! It looks to me like the $150 to $500K earners will pay more tax.

On the other hand C corporation rates are way down which has already boosted the economy and publicly traded common stock valuations.
