Why is the Republican party so content with denying healthcare as a human right, and trying everything they can to harm people who need any sort of assistance? Like… How do they do it? How much are we talking here when we speak about tax savings for them?
Pretend I am rich? Like how much money am I getting back by Republicans kicking men off healthcare or destroying insurance for those who need it most. It must be alot right?
My brother’s a CEO of a hospital. He makes over $400,000 a year. He told me that he votes for whatever candidate lowers his taxes. He cares about nothing else. Which is strange considering he’s in the healthcare industry. But, he broke down the numbers for me and he voted for Trump over less than $10,000 a year. That’s how much less tax is he pays. Like I said he cares about nothing else. He has a trans son, who he supports, however he will vote against his interest for under $10,000 a year. Year. I don’t know that this is the answer you were looking for it is just the personal experience. Edit: for typos
This is vaguely what my mom told me. “My paycheck was bigger under him last time” direct quote.
Its not hate FOR some other group its selfishness and greed and paranoia that someone is getting something over them.
Single issue voters. 🤦♀️
No, he objectively does not. Tolerates on a local level, sure, but not supports.
“I love you, son! I’m so proud of you for being your true self,” he yelled from outside the burning building, holding the door shut, “but you’re on the insurance policy, so the payout is better if you die!”
This affects where people live too. blue states have higher tax and income tax so why would I live there ?
Maybe if we could directly see where every penny of our taxes go. But in the US its just blatant theft we try to avoid as much as possible. In other countries you actually see benefits of your taxes. Not here.
Still if I made 400k a year I wouldn’t really give a crap. Its more when you make 40k a year and taxes take 25% you get a little upset.
When you earn $400k and lose $200k of it to taxes, you get more than a little upset.
Classic conservative math.
Tax rate is 35%? That’s basically half!
Classic “there’s only 1 country in the world” math.
He does not lose half or anywhere close, but hey if that helps you justify things🤷♂️
Depends what country you’re in. I’m on far less than $400k and I pay around 40% income tax alone.
And do you vote in a 2 party system where one of them is following through on threats of dehumanizing immigrants, non-white citizens, and LGBTQ?
