Donnie's no tax plan!

Brilliant! Not! Haven't we heard this before? Yes, it was Reagan's trickle down tax plan. It may sound good on the outside, but when you get down to the real facts of the plan, it works in favor for the rich, right wing goons. He says anyone under $25,000 annual income would not pay any taxes. So I have a question? I am a truck driver who travel long distances, I am away from 6 to 7 days a week or longer, with annual income $55,000 plus. With that being said I work hard to make ends met. My concern is that after I pay all my road expenses, I am down to about $25,000 after all is said and done. Now, I used to be take more off for deductions and get a good amount of taxes back each year. Will this all come to an end? To me, his plan has no merit to help the middle class and the low income families? All it will do, is benefit the wealthy and give them more loop holes to jump through.


And a side note! Trump's interview on 60 Minutes was comical! I think he will break a record for the most recognized Jackass on the earth! Oh wait, I forgot about the other Jackass, Teddy Cruz!

I have medical expenses and road expenses. I have done long form for several year. My concern with Trump's plan is I could lose a lot of my deductions. Not how to file them.
