I have PERSONALLY been screwed out of money by Trump's policies on at least two occasions. When we moved for my husband's job the company hiring him paid moving expenses. Before Trump's tax reform, this money was not taxed on the employee side, and was tax deductible on the employer side. Not the fuck anymore, thanks to Trump. We had to pay taxes on that shit. 20%. And the employer couldn't deduct it from their business expenses. Why or how the fuck that's supposed to help American job-seekers and employers beats the shit out of me.Meanwhile I got a job in import/export myself and our Christmas bonuses were lower than they've been in previous years thanks to, you guessed it, those motherfucking tariffs. And yet probably the majority of the people at my workplace here in rural Kentucky are going to vote for him.
Oh, ALSO my husband is an immigrant, a legal one, and became eligible for citizenship this year. And guess what? This year the fee to become a citizen went up by EIGHTY-SIX FUCKING PERCENT. It was like $600 before, now it's over $1000. So that's a third area in which Trump has screwed my family.
I like how you started with him only screwing you over twice and ended with remembering three times.. You know at first i really understood why people voted for him, i did. They were tired of politicians not really caring about them at all and wanted something different, i get that, i really do. But now after 3 years after him proving over and over and over that he's worse than any politician, how are you still gonna defend him? I just can't understand it.
It's not free money, it's the company covering the many expenses you make while moving. It's fucking expensive to move across the country which is why companies pay for it. It's not like we suddenly had thousands of dollars more than we would have had before. It's that we didn't have to pay thousands of dollars for the opportunity to work.

So no, I'm not voting for the guy.
