Trump has only made the people who bankrolled his campaign wealthier & not the "average karel".
WTF? I'm working class and I'm getting a tax cut. How is that not helping me by letting me keep more of my own money? I don't give a shit if a richer person gets a bigger tax break than me, they pay more taxes than me! I'm all for the IRS taking less of my money. I don't give a shit if businesses pay less taxes either. It's
their money and somehow people seem to think that the government is entitled to take more and more of people's money. f*ck that.
Like you said, you don't live here, you have no idea of how overtaxed we already are. It's not just Federal taxes. It's state taxes, local taxes, municipality taxes, county taxes, sales taxes, gas taxes, luxury taxes. I could list the taxes forever. Even worse, I could show how the same dollar I earn keeps getting taxed over and over again. It's ridiculous. Any tax break is a relief. I just wish it was an even bigger tax cut.
Not only that, but the US government does a lot of questionable and downright shady, immoral and unethical shit with our taxes. And that's not even taking into account the outright illegal shit they do with our taxes! Starve those fuckers I say, the sweat of my labors are not entitled to anyone else but me. Same goes for everyone else, including business owners.
I'm sick of paying for the "American Empire". I'm sick of paying for color coded coups around the world. I'm sick of paying for kickbacks, military aid and economic aid to countries that quite frankly, are evil by every definition of the word. I'm sick of subsidizing Europe's socialist nightmare by the US being on the hook for her defense. Europe can defend herself God dammit! Those bastards don't need my tax money to save their asses from the Russians.
If you are a person that doesn't think you are getting taxed enough, then send a fucking check from your own funds to what the f*ck ever shitty government you got and stop telling the rest of us that we are getting screwed because our shitty government is taking less of our money, however paltry that relief is.
