Here are the details of the final GOP tax bill

Last Updated Dec 15, 2017 7:53 PM EST

House and Senate Republicans on Friday released the final text of their legislative agreement on taxes, after negotiators from both chambers worked out the differences between their two bills. Significantly, the final agreement eliminates the individual mandate penalty under Obamacare, something the original Senate bill did but the House bill did not.

Here is the full text of the final legislation, which is more than 1,000 pages long

The success of the final legislation looked more likely Friday, after Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tennessee, said he would vote for the bill, and Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida, seemed to have his concerns about the generosity of the child tax credit satisfied. The House is expected to vote on the legislation Tuesday, and the Senate after that. No Democrats are expected to vote for the legislation.

Somehow I think the lobbyists put an end to that idea.

If I were still talking to my brother-in-law, I'd ask him about what happened to the flat tax he thought the GOP was going to deliver to him?

If so, the increase in standard deduction is just about a wash.

And have the tax bracket amounts changed up or down?
