A red MAGA hat wearing truck driver pulls in about $65 K a year, gross. He also gets to write off about $55 a day for meals. Say he drives or is away from home 6 days a week, that's over $17K in deductions per year that he can kiss goodbye under Trump's make the rich richer tax scheme.

Will the dollars and cents finally drive some real sense into the heads of the average Trump voter? I sure hope so. They certainly bitched about it a lot last night on the talk radio as I drove from Chicago to Southern Ohio.

Fox news and the taking heads who control these people better up their game on. The sheeple may be waking up.

This tax plan is ****, but please explain to the class how it it a "make the rich richer tax scheme". Please be specific.
 
Both parties may eventually have rebellions if they keep on with "business as usual."



I'm not sure there is a Democrat or Republican, or a man, that can match the Hindu Warrior Queen in what they can bring to the Presidency, overall.

Are those streaks of gray in her hair? You know you're [F word] with the best now.

“The DNC secretly chose their nominee over a year before the primary elections even occurred. This shines a light on how deeply broken our campaign finance laws are, and how they’ve weakened individual candidates while strengthening and empowering political parties and special interested,” Mrs. Gabbardsays in a video she blasted out Friday. “These laws allowed the Clinton campaign to bypass individual campaign contribution limits by funneling millions of dollars through the DNC and state parties — taking control of the DNC in the process.”

Read the plan. It's pretty obvious.

It's high but not nearly that high. You can "only" claim 80% on days you're away and only something like 30% for days you're leaving or coming home. The final amount is also reduced by 2% of your AGI.

Regardless, who consistently spends $55 a day on food for cross country trips? Sounds like a handout.

Per diem is usually not enough to eat well in most urban areas of the country. I eat about $65 a day when I travel. But, I'm sure that I can eat for $30 if I ate crap.
 
Will never happen. As long as Trump continues spewing hatred at Clinton, Obama, liberals, Democrats, Mexicans, Muslims, etc, Trump's base (about 35%) will NEVER abandon him. That 35% (pretty much all Republican voters) are those people Trump was talking about when he said he could shoot someone, and not lose ANY voters.
 
If someone still supports Trump now they aren't dropping him. It doesn't matter what he does.
