CT – once again it seems that your hate for trump makes it hard for you to see rationally or stay in touch with reality. You lauded the Obamacare which destroyed the ability for most of my community (and beyond) to get any health services because the plan was either a scam or they could no longer afford to take a sick kid to the doctor. I have a friend who ISNT low income who cant afford the endoscopy his doctor recommended. It goes on and on but you aren’t interested because you haven’t seen it yourself.
this line – “How many CR readers i the northeast pay more than 10K per year in real estate taxes, how many pay state and local income tax….deductions gone”
maybe i misunderstand your weeping, who’s paying more than 10K in real estate taxes? And deductions gone? only after 7.5 percent of your income if I read correctly. And frankly, the only reason so many of ended up not owing taxes was not because of those deductions, those deductions rarely exceeded the standard deductions which are now increasing.
I feel sorry for your $20,000 loss….well at least I am trying to since I care about you and your pain, but you seem to be weeping for the rich under the guise of caring for the low income families without seeming to have an inkling of how their lives work.
You may have $20,000 less tzedaka to give, which is honestly an awful thing for you and the receiving charities, but some in my neck of the woods are waiting with bated breath for that extra $80 in their paycheck so they can buy some amoxicillin.
