https://www.rawstory.com/2019/02/trusted-trump-voters-seethe-realizing-theyre-getting-screwed-gops-tax-plan/Even though the 2017 GOP tax cut is leading to spiking federal deficits thanks to its generous benefits to corporations, many middle-class Americans are winding up having to pay more because the bill eliminated multiple deductions used by middle-class families to lower their annual tax payments.
Among other things, the tax bill ended deductions for taxes paid to state and local governments, while massively increasing the amount of money you must donate to qualify for a charitable giving deduction.
Several Trump voters who have done their taxes are not happy about this and theyre letting both the president and the Republican Party hear it check out some of their tweets below.

(18,672 posts)The GOP just had the IRS take less out of our paychecks so people would be fooled into thinking their infamous tax cut benefitted them as well as people of means. Surprise! Another GOP mass transfer of wealth from your pockets to theirs and their corrupt benefactors.

Same with blue states like NY, NJ, CT and Mass, but they already hated Trump. (not sure about property tax levels in Maryland and VA, and I know California has high home prices, but a different way to calc property taxes)
