    In end, Democrats remained just Twitter to make ir anger about tax reform of Republicans air. The law had been hand-written to end, and Senators were only issued 25 minutes before vote in chamber, complaining about Democrat Jon Tester from Montana in a video. He and his colleagues saw action as part of an attempt by Conservatives to whip comprehensive tax cuts especially for companies and top earners through Congress – away from public.

    The law, which was finally adopted by a majority vote on early Saturday morning, goes far beyond a mere reform of tax system. The law, summed up New York Times, was an "all-round blow" and won conservative victories in a whole series of trenches that party has been conducting for decades. In fact, Republicans ' decisions could change US sustainably – in several areas.

    Health care System

    Under Obamacare, Americans who opt out of health insurance must pay a penalty. According to draft of senators, this rule should be disappearing. The Conservatives argue that state will save around 300 billion dollars, because fewer funds would have to be paid to low-income insurance companies. They also criticize regulation as a prime example of a state that deprives citizens of freedom of choice.

    But economists warn of consequences: if insurance obligation goes away and above all young and healthy Americans renounce insurance, premiums for or insureds have risen. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that premiums in next ten years will rise on average by ten percent and 13 million Americans from insurance system. This, according to experts, could sustainably weaken Obamacare.

    Separation of church and state

    Since 1950s, churches and or religious groups in United States are no longer allowed to donate directly to political purposes or to apply for a candidate. For same length of time, however, evangelicals, whose influence on politics is large, are struggling to lift ban. They see ir right to freedom of expression restricted: y do not want to be made to dictate by US tax authority, which is what one can say down from pulpit.

    Now y seem to have prevailed after decades of lawsuits: tax law of Republicans would repeal scheme. Opponents of decision fear that move can furr blur separation of church and state and increase influence of powerful interest groups. A second amendment to tax law is also seen as victory of religious rights: according to Senate draft, parents can save tax-free for higher education of ir unborn children in future. The text of law thus recognizes it as a full-fledged living entity – a step for which anti-abortion opponents have been using for years.
