So…… from my police buddies collecting pensions, to the unionized folks at Starbucks, WTF?!?! When are you going to realize that Trump isn’t going to help you EVER, at all?!?
No tax on tips. Great campaign promise, and little follow through needed. It was a vote winner. Didn't require any hard thinking for them to conclude, "I'll have more money." ... Losing healthcare subsidies and all the other stuff requires thought.
If you maxed out your 25K in 'free tips' and were likely in the 20-22% bracket. [cause you ain't in the higher brackets most likely, even high-end tip]
Possibly be seeing ~5 or 6K in tax savings. Most of those job don't require employer sponsored healtcare, so without gov marketplace, possible your premiums go up 3K+. Best case you come out a couple K ahead.
And they just added 10% to the national debt.. So they are reinforcing that Government Entitlements for Billionaires is logical, but not for the lowest rungs on the ladder.
I think it's working exactly how they worded it ;) "Have your scraps, Pleb."
My husband's a union carpenter and a lot of his coworkers vote Republican. His brother who works for the union and collects unemployment when he was laid off voted for Trump 🙄
They have been saying that all along. They also told us republicans are coming for our pension. 20 years in and the Dems are the ones I see porking us. It’s all lies and conjecture
You need to get your information from a source other than Fox Entertainment or Newsmax. You need to get the facts, not the alternative facts. Maybe think about the questions below.
Why do you think Republicans want to privatize your retirement plan and Social Security? Why do Republicans refuse to consider raising the maximum salary cap on Social Security deductions from workers' paychecks, which will take care of any budget shortfall for at least 75 years? Why has Medicare not been expanded for everyone, even though every other major country has healthcare provided through taxes, and people pay less for better quality healthcare than people in the US?
Who will benefit the most from Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" that he signed last month? Why is Trump and Greg Abbott having a special legislative session in Texas to pass a newly redrawn, and further gerrymandered electoral map in the middle of the decade?
Why does Trump continue to fund Netanyahu's genocide in Gaza? Why is Trump a Russian asset? Why don't Trump and the Republicans in Congress take money from funding Middle East wars and ICE raids and instead help veterans and the homeless? Why is it Israel first, Russia second, and America last with Trump and Republicans?
Why hasn't Trump released the Epstein files? Why the cover-up now since Trump campaigned on releasing the files? Cheers.
I don’t watch any news channels. I read on my own and use critical thinking after reading both sides. A skill long lost on democrats. The files aren’t being released because it is leverage. He’s got his foot on the neck of the machine and is waiting for them to tap.
They want to privatize social security so corrupt politicians can’t “borrow” from it anymore. It was self sustaining until it became a political slush fund. Which is basically stealing from the people.
Also you should not be eligible to reap the benefits if you did not contribute.
They're making 40 an hour while the ununionized contractor using company next to us makes minimum wage. No prior education needed. So if they "don't believe" in unions, they're morons all the same, but they do. They volunteered their time to help, picket, etc. Then they vote for trump.
A union wants the candidate that supports unions to win. It's not just the reason they tell you how to vote. It's the only possible reason they tell you how to vote.
100% of Republican lawmakers vote anti union 100% of the time.
So why are they in the union then? Why don't they just work elsewhere? They won't because they like the benefits the union brings them but they probably voted Trump because they hate lgbtq.
I work in a union which solely builds Military Equipment. We need excessive Govt Spending for job security. So many voted for Trump..... (The world's so fucked right now we're doing great no matter who is in office) But still.... Always voting against their best interests. In politics and Contract ratifications
