That's a month and a half of rent. You know what I would give to be a month and a half ahead on rent right now??

I mean it'd help a little but I doubt it would be life changing. It certainly won't push the needle from struggling to living comfortably for me. Meanwhile the top 1% get their taxes raised by .01%. Woohoo.

There's a lot of other changes too. This is just tax.

Like raising the minimum wage

It's better than giving them a bigger break though right? That's what the chart is supposed to show. It's not supposed to change your life it's just supposed to help you instead of hurt you.

No, 167k is nothing when you have $14 million. I want them to pay their share. I pay like 30% of my income in taxes and I'm left with fuck all. If they paid 30% of theirs they'd be left with almost $10 million.

That’s what the chart is supposed to show. It’s not supposed to change your life it’s just supposed to help you instead of hurt you.

In that case this is pointless because Trumps plan as it's shown here doesn't hurt me either. It's a difference of $400.

No, it's two good dinners a month, or 1/10th your rent per month, doled out statistically bi monthly.
