Cool, Cindy gets an extra $700 a year.
Except, Cindy will have to pay $350 per month toward student loans, and will no longer be able to deduct interest.
Oh, shell also have to pay $830 per month for healthcare for her and her two kids - that is, until her premium goes up because youre trying to do away with the individual mandate. And then when she cant afford health insurance anymore, shell no longer be able to deduct any out-of-pocket medical expenses.
Oh, and if Cindy gets a better job and needs to relocate, shell no longer be able to deduct moving expenses.
Oh, and if that new, better job wants to pay Cindys tuition to go back to school to earn a higher degree, that tuition will now be taxed as income.
Oh, and if Cindy is working at a college or university so that when her kids are old enough, theyd be able to attend tuition-free, their tuition will also now be taxed as income.
Oh, and if god forbid theres a fire or flood and Cindy and her family experience any damage to their home, they can no longer deduct those losses.
So really, Paul, Cindys going to need that $700 just to begin to cover all the new bullshit youre putting her family through, while youre off giving actual substantial tax breaks to private jet owners.
Paul, from Cindy, and from so many of us, take that $700 and shove it up your spineless, intellectually dishonest libertarian ass.

and assuming no more market collapses, or health/medical issues, after 100 years she will be able to retire.
