#TrumpTax -- Will there be a tax hike for the middle-class?

There are more details in the news (see the 2 "NYTimes" articles linked below) about the GOP tax rewrite, & I'm sure there'll be a lot more in the coming days & weeks. But from what I gather, instead of the middle-class getting tax relief, a big percentage might actually get a tax hike: a new #TrumpTax, if you will.  

NYTimes had an article yesterday actually titled (though I'm sure republicans do rule out a tax hike for the rich): 

"Republicans Won’t Rule Out Tax Hikes for Some in the Middle Class"

"WASHINGTON — President Trump and Republican leaders have positioned their sweeping tax rewrite as a way to cut taxes on the middle class. But some top officials are now saying the plan may not benefit everyone in that income group.

The acknowledgment could complicate the administration’s ability to sell the tax plan, which is already facing questions from Republicans and Democrats over the cost and effect of the ambitious rewrite.

Those questions have gotten more pronounced after an analysis last week by the Tax Policy Center, which found that the plan could cost $2.4 trillion over the next decade, with the biggest benefits flowing to businesses and the wealthiest Americans. The analysis found that nearly 30 percent of those in the middle class could see their taxes increase as a result of changes to the deductions and exemptions many middle-class Americans rely on to lower their tax bills."

Nearly 30% of middle-class getting a tax hike would seem like an obvious opening for democrats to attack the Trump tax "rewrite" as unworkable. But in the NYTimes article, the one senator criticizing the plan is actually a republican:

& speaking of the middle-class being asked to sacrifice more than the rich: now Trump & the republicans are "reconsidering" full repeal of State & local Tax deductions. However, read about the alternatives in order for them to preserve the deduction (while still slashing corporate tax rates):

"Preserving the deduction entirely would raise the cost of the Republican tax plan by more than $1 trillion over 10 years and another $2.3 trillion over the following decade, according to an analysis by the Tax Policy Center, a nonpartisan think tank. The analysis has not calculated for alternate scenarios, such as higher taxes on the wealthiest Americans, but anything less than a full repeal would mean less money for federal coffers and could make it more difficult for Republicans to slash corporate tax rates as low as they are proposing.

Mr. Collins said one possibility under discussion would be forcing taxpayers to choose between claiming a deduction for mortgage interest or for property taxes, but not both, on property valued up to $1 million."
