Donald Trump Tax Plans Would Increase Taxes On 95% Of Americans, Analysis Finds

Which is his intention.

Somehow even more than Bush with his two pointless wars.

TBF, they constantly hear lies about this by foreign controlled media.

edit: they are probably naturalized citizens by now, but the point still stands

Generally those who own their home in cities have higher property tax bills. Prior to the TCJA, there wasn’t a dollar cap on your real estate tax deduction if you itemized. Now there is a $10k cap which includes your state taxes paid (like from your w2 or estimated taxes). For someone like me who lives in a somewhat low COL area…no biggie. My property taxes are pretty low and don’t come near that cap. But it’s pretty easy to hit that cap when you live in a city and your property taxes alone are 10k or more…but before that u also were able to deduct your state taxes paid. So many people who previously were able to itemize and even might be able to now if they got the full amount of property taxes, will only get the standard decision and thus more of their income is taxable.

There are sources that say that the property tax deduction primarily benefited higher income earners, but some of these higher income earners also live in higher COL areas and thus don’t make as much money as it may seem because it’s so much more expensive to live where they live.

Property in the city is worth more

Yeah, but what if you become rich overnight, it might benefit you.

Well remember many of them got $1000 bonuses as a reward from their employers for voting Trump, or something.

This obsession to shift the definition of what's required to be president just so you can continue a world view of winners and losers is as meaningless as it is American. Trump won the election due to the electoral college and gerrymandering shenanigans, but lost the popular vote. Why not say that most people didn't want him as a president and why did the system allow it instead of mapping this into Americas obsession with winners and losers? He literally did not win, and it highlights a flaw in the system that needs to be addressed.

Nobody "did anything to stop him" because at that point, you are dropping down to his level and calling for an insurrection. That the side of morons with guns and expanding prison systems has no problems with insurrections might highlight another even darker problem, one which might be a bigger problem when those morons are also the ones crowding around and abusing positions of authorities up to the federal supreme court level, regardless of whether they are a minority.

it's not because trump declared himself the winner. it's because in the US, empty lands can have more votes than people. it's called electoral college but that's what it really is. essentially rocks and dirt voting.

He didn't declare himself the winner. The voting system is a bit more complex and while it's possible to completely override the election results through the electoral college, usually what happens is that the blue candidate gets a lot more votes in populous states with big cities (California, NY, etc), but as soon as you're one vote ahead in a state, the extra million or 2 don't matter.

Something that's been proposed to combat this without moving to an entirely new model, is for states to no longer be all or nothing. Instead of candidate A getting 60% of the votes and 100% of the EC vote, they'd get 60% of the EC vote and the other guy would get 40%. Then all votes would matter, rather than only swing state votes.
