If your friends are paying that much just in overtime taxes, they are very well off as it is. Likely making 150K-200K if not more per year. So they voted for a convicted felon adjudicated rapist with a history of giving handouts to the rich so they can afford to buy a home they already have the means to buy. Getting rid of taxes is a handout. Theres nothing different about overtime pay vs regular pay as far as taxes are concerned. They are compensated for overtime by making 1.5x their wage. Its Trump, GOP, Heritage Foundation, and corporations that will argue, likely successfully, that the wages they pay your friends is actually their money and they dont think its selfish to no longer pay 1.5x for OT. We pay taxes to benefit society and provide for important societal needs. And again, they voted for a man and a party which will give the lions share of any tax cuts in the form of hundreds of billions to trillions of dollars to the already ultra-wealthy. Not regular people working their ass off in overtime hours. And this is assuming Trump is going to do a complete 180 on helping the working class. Your friends took the empty promises of the most prolific liar of our times rather than simply look at his actions as president and you repeatedly fail to acknowledge the silliness of it because youre a contrarian twat. The truth of it is this; Trump isnt going to eliminate overtime taxes. If he does, it will be in combination with the plans outlined in p2025, and your friends may simply see themselves lose overall OT (by corps calculating OT over a longer range of weeks) or by their plan to make it easier for employers to misclassify their workers as independent contractors to skirt labor laws and OT pay. Your friends will get tax exemption from the OT they will no longer qualify for. And if/when that happens, your friends will still find some way to justify their vote for Trump. This will hold true for around 97% of Trump voters and I have no reason to believe your friends will be the outliers. Feel free to look back at this comment in the future as everything Im saying comes true. Calling out the bigots, racists, and dumbasses of society isnt the problem for me or for the Democratic Party. Its people like you who occupy themselves with wagging your finger at anti-trumpers and then bury your head in the sand as fascist autocrats and conspiracy nuts take over the government, tear down our institutions, give unprecedented trillions of dollars to the ultra-wealthy while robbing us of social security, healthcare, OT wages, regular wages, etc. The amount of blatant corruption, criminal activity, and wealth redistribution to the wealthy we are about to see will grossly surpass anything weve seen from any previous administration. Your friends will not be the beneficiaries. You likely are completely aware of this, but choose to spend your time shaming the democrats for calling out Trump and companys actions and behaviors. Its sad, weird, and pathetic. Trump didnt win because democrats were mean, he won because America is a sick society that doesnt understand the importance or value of institutions, education, expertise, or the state of the billionaire class war that they are handily winning against the 99%. This is a result of regulatory capture of the media and social media spaces by the rich and the GOP. As minuscule of a role as you might play, you are part of it.
