Yes. Mostly because of those sweet sweet tax cuts baby WOOO
I got fucked over by the tax bill, there are some state income taxes that I won't be able to deduct when I'm off tax paying age I'd I choose to live in the state I live in now.

The Republicans capped the amount of state taxes you can deduct since that only affects Democratic states, and they didn't include them in the negotiation.

You mean the tax cuts for the top 10% that won't affect you at all, In fact you'll probably pay more. Those tax cuts? Makes sense.
ye from what I've heard, Trump will make tax cut for all average family
What's wrong with him, is that he thinks average family makews 75k$
that's FAR AWAY from the average family's income
so only rich will get tax cuts
in other words... Trump is...
yea... he is...

If i understood it right most people will get some extra money from these tax cuts. They'll get a nice sum of money soon... The problem is they'll then have to pay more than they got in the coming year in little chunks because of the tax bill. It's devious because people are more likely to remember the big sum and forget the lots of little sums.

Fair enough, although I just thought he'd be embarrassing for the country (and to be honest, he has been)

Kayne West. He is an American music producer.

Anyways looking more and more like Oprah will run. I personally have nothing against her, I just have no idea where she stands on topic x y and z.

Do we really need another celebrity as POTUS? I'd rather have someone I can take seriously and someone who knows how to run a country.
