Donald Trump |
With tax season now upon us, it's interesting to note that more than a few Trump supporters have taken to Twitter in the past few days angry about their 2018 tax bill.
It seems the promises of a 'middle class' tax cut weren't so accurate.
Thanks to the loss of multiple tax deductions in Donald Trump's tax bill, there are folks paying MORE than they are used to.
Raw Story notes the main culprits seem to be newly-capped deductions for taxes paid to state and local governments, as well as the increased amount of charitable donations you have to make to qualify for the deduction.
Here's just a few of the self-proclaimed Trump supporters had to say:
@RepDonBacon I just finished my taxes and we're paying an extra 4k this year since exemptions are gone. With a High D HC plan, this has not been a good year. I voted for you twice now. What's the plan?— Jay Wright (@nochcknstrps12r) February 3, 2019
Voted for you . Family of— Nycgirl (@nlnp99) February 5, 2019
2 hard working N.Y. cops. Did taxes for years we would pay more and get a refund at the end of the year to help pay debt . First time in 30 years We had to pay more in Federal
Taxes. I’m disgusted
@POTUS thank you for screwing the middle class with your tax reform. I have never in my life, I’m 49 years old, had to pay into the IRS until this year. We have a combined income of 150,000. The middle class voted for you. I will not make the same mistake twice.— Joel Serbin (@JoelSerbin) February 4, 2019
I voted for @realdonaldtrump, but that unfortunately that means I have to pay higher taxes.— Joshua Curtis (@dcjchris) January 26, 2019
Worse tax return I had in a decade! I admit I voted for @realDonaldTrump but he has officially lost my vote for 2020.— A9N7G3 (@973angie) January 23, 2019
I voted for you the first time but after you screwed me on my get tax break I won’t vote for you again especially after I started on my 2018 return it’s a joke the taxes you are keeping from a working person good luck in 2020— Shelby Kuh (@ShelbyKuh) February 2, 2019
Wait til you file your taxes. Middle class just lost half their return. Lowest refund I have ever had and I am 50yrs old. No wall and now this tax reform sucks too!! Starting to doubt Trump. I voted for him and trusted him too.— Speziale-Matheny (@Speciale3886) January 27, 2019
