Funny thing is that Trump hurt me by capping the SALT deduction. I don’t live in a high property tax state, however, I do own enough property to be negatively affected by capping property tax deductions at 10k.
Democrats, particularly very wealthy ones, hated the cap because it hurt them as they were no longer able to use the federal government to subsidize their ridiciculously high property taxes. You are being taken for a ride. The ultra-wealthy are heavily Democratic, the working wealthy are heavily Republican. Billionaires want control and they know the easiest way to get it is to fool suckers like you into believeing that they are for the little guy and want to sock it too the ”rich”. The problem is, the “rich” don’t include them. They are simply punishing the working wealthy, while they remain untouched.
Frankly, most of the Democratic base is too ignorant, too indoctrinated and/or too selfish to even care.
I'm not being taken anywhere, but your dedication to Republicans completely ignores the effect of their "cut and spend" policies, their destructive deficit spending and 3 economic crashes, each worse than the last, in the past 40 years.
Republican policies and tax codes have destroyed the union movement, impoverished the working class, and created more billionaires than any economy in the world, along with the highest rates of poverty, gun violence and drug abuse, in the first world. Your middle class is dwindling, and Republicans have now raised tuition to the point that students are being put into permanent poverty by crushing student debt with high interest rates.
What services are you getting for your "ridiculously high property taxes", DBA???? Better schools??? Universal health care????? What about clean water, safe roads and bridges???? Lower crimes rates.
The conservatives on this board are LONG on complaints about EVERYTHING, but you're not offering a single idea or solution to the problems and issues being raised. You blame Democrats for everything that are the results of core Republican policies.
You say that Democrats are only for the rich people, and yet Joe Biden marched on the picket line with UAW Workers, while Trump met with the unemployed workers at a non-union plant and blamed the UAW, and not the management who got 40% wage increases, for the strike.
Are any of Trump's businesses unionized????? Or has Trump been hiring illegal immigrants, and then exploiting their status with unpaid overtime and other abuses?
What exactly has the Republican Party done for working men and women??? Raised the minimum wage???? Mandated vacation time for all workers like the rest of the first world? What about universal health care???? Maternity leave??? Education grants for displaced workers?
Or did they give tax breaks to companies off-shorting manufacturing? Increase earned income credits instead of raising the minimum wage and in essence, providing wage subsidies to some of America's most profitable corporations?
During the pandemic - who did Trump give bailouts and interest free loans to??? The same rich people and corporations he gave the bulk of the tax cuts to when he was first elected. It was Nancy Pelosi who refused to pass any more money for corporations until the American workers received a bailout.
So don't try to convince me that the Republican Party is the working man's party. Donald Trump did nothing but shit all over the working men and women during his 4 years in the White House, and you're here defending his record.
What a gullible fool you are.
