I don't know where most others sit; I'm in the middle-class 25% tax bracket. For this tax plan, it looks like I'll be in the same tax bracket, loosing several deductions (largest being student loan interest deduction) and end up having to pay more federal taxes. Not really exciting unless I was in the upper-class.
