I don’t blame them. People can’t afford Bidenomics. I see people complaining all the time but elections have consequences.
I make a lot of money, so I am weathering it just fine. I am just not able to save as much as I would like.
As I said previously, I am not a fan of Trump but groceries were much cheaper under Trump. The cost of items was cheaper under Trump.
I can’t think of any way my life was worse under Trump.
I had my taxes raised as well but shouldn’t we all want to pay more taxes? Or do Democrats only love taxes when someone else is taxed?
No, of course not. What kind of conservative are you supposed to be?
I have no desire to pay more in taxes but I also accept it’s the cost of civilized society.
Most liberals are fairly dumb as they think Trump’s “tax cuts” impacted the poor the most. The SALT tax cap was a smart move on Trump’s part where it was a hidden tax on the rich. That is what nailed my taxes hard, but as a conservative, my state taxes shouldn’t be a tax write-off for my federal taxes. Each coffer needs filling exclusive of the other.
As I said, I am not overly partisan. You have to look at the polices and view them as good or bad, without looking at the party.
If the Trump tax increases had coincided with an increase in public services, that would have been one thing. But they coincided with lower taxes on richer business owners, so I was opposed. I don’t see why lower taxes on rich assholes should be my burden to bear but then I’m not Paul Ryan.
I mean it wasn’t very hidden, and it wasn’t on the “rich”, it was on me.
Of course they should be. Don’t be absurd.
But they aren’t “exclusive.” States receive large portions of their operating funding from Federal grants, but with the SALT cap, the state gets two bites at my income. That’s unjust and something conservatives used to say they care about. Of course, it was always lies, wasn’t it?
And the rich payed even more. You think rich people have cheaper property taxes than you?
Do you think SALT is a cap on property taxes or something? What are you talking about?
Taxes on the rich declined under Trump. Of course they did - he’s a Republican. And rich, too, at least that’s what he always said.
It;s a cap on the amount you can deduct.
