I said MAGA is dead to me.
My taxes are going up thousands of dollars.
That is not what Trump promised the middle class.
In which communist state do you live that you’re blaming Trump for not having the good sense to escape sooner?
I hope you’ll report back when you actually do your taxes because as I calculate there is only a small group of people earning a 400K to 416K as a married household who will potentially have a 2% increase and only on that portion of their income from 400-416K. The lower taxation % on the rest of their income should offset that tax.
There is a 10K allowance for State/local taxes, thanks to Susan Collins.
At this point no one knows how their particular situation will be effected but I find your sky is falling for me projections premature at best. I speak for many in the Blue States when I say if it costs me personally a couple extra thousand dollars (and I think it won’t) than I am glad to do it for the good of the country and for the massive effect on the National debt, the return of industry in out country and the step towards decreasing the size of Government intrusion.
of course MAGA has nothing to do with this, but don’t let the facts get in your way...
“My taxes are going up thousands of dollars.”
That is likely solely because you live in a state and/or city run by true socialists...and exclusively by true socialists. I feel your pain, I truly do. But what we have to do in this country today with this government is work the art of the possible. There wouldn’t be 20 votes in the Senate and barely 100 in the House for a tax bill like what you are calling for. We have garbage for government, so what Trump accomplished here is dramatic.
I do sympathize with your anger...up until 12 years ago I lived in a high tax state - run for decades exclusively by socialists who raped the citizenry for their own personal profit. Today I work and live in one of the ten lowest tax states...I got a measly $1200 deduction each year for SALT. I make about 200K per year and this year i’ll make about 20K more than last year - and even with that 20K in added salary I will pay under this new bill more than $4K less in taxes. That’s about a 6K cut...so yes it is a middle class tax cut. And it will be fun to see those top ten tax states scurry to lower their taxes...and if they don’t, look at your neighbors for the reason.
Like people, States need to get off their drugs...their drugs are their high state taxes that benefit no one but the socialists who get elected in those states. Maybe those states need a hard dose of reality that will make them stop stealing from their own citizens. The answer for you is closer to home. If your state has to stop stealing your money, you too will be better off.
