Giving tax breaks to the people who actually pay taxes is welfare? Call me a welfare king then buddy.

It certainly was used, by both sides, to win Nevada. That being said, is it bad tax policy for people to keep more money in their pockets? We all know it is going to be spent

Picking and choosing which earners (aka being discriminatory) is bad tax policy. Just increases the standard deduction or give ALL earners in certain income brackets a deduction.

Incentivising more people to join the trades seems like a good thing. America is going to struggle finding the employees needed to build the data centers, small modular nuclear reactors and other power plants for the AI boom, and all of the defense projects currently planned. Slowing down immigration makes it even more difficult.

How is it welfare if they worked overtime and earned the money? Then had it stolen by the government.

Welfare is money handed to people for sitting on their asses mooching off of the taxpayers. This costs you and other fellow tax payers zilch.

Let's say i make over the phase out limit through my business. If I put my wife on the payroll at 40k and pay her some on top as OT (she actually does work for my business), she would just be entitled to the 12.5k exemption, correct?

$25,000 if filing jointly with threshold @ $300,000
$12,500 if filing single with threshold @ $160,000

as I understand it.

What I don't understand is does the 44 hours of OT that we always get considered regular normal pay, or will the tax deduction be on "unscheduled" OT after the 44 hours.

In addition, the Senate bill adds that the deduction for both qualified tips and overtime is only available to married taxpayers if they file jointly.

Wondering the same thing here. I'm betting it comes down to how employers code it. Just guessing, but I bet scheduled OT will not count and unscheduled OT will. Sucks that we won't actually be seeing any change in our paychecks either way.
