our local taxes will not go down...
the price of things will not go down...
we'll have more perfumed privileged people running around, but it won't be the middle class/working class...
I'm still on the fence on the tax "breaks"....
IOWS...I'll believe it when I see it...
if we loose our tax deduction for our home mortgage it'll be hard to take, but if we loose out on property taxes and sales taxes, to me, its just TAX UPON A TAX.....
“re the corporate tax breaks....their tax breaks will have no good bearing on my finances...”
Tax breaks for businesses help the local economy, which helps everyone. That is why cities, counties and states often offer tax breaks to a company - to entice them to move into a state. Because businesses competing for labor is good for labor.
I’m retired. But I still strongly believe that a pro-business economy brings me many benefits. Losing the child tax credit when my kids got older hurt me big time. But I didn’t whine and complain and say I was paying for their college out of pocket even while the government starting taking more from me.
I’d eliminate the child tax credit. Would have when I was benefiting from it. Why? Don’t see where it is any business of the government how many kids I have, or their ages. Same with what state I live in. If I choose to live in a state like CA, NJ or NY, what business is it of the Feds? And since those states by themselves make it very hard for any conservative to get elected to national office...screw them and their residents. I’d love to be part of a country with 47 states. Make that 46. Throw out Hawaii too. The rest of us would have a great country.
