I was talkin to a trump voter the other night. He is a mechanic.
Him- man i can’t wait for these prices to go down.
Me- did you hear about trumps tariff policies.
Him- yeah he’s gonna make these other countries pay up
Me- that’s not how tariffs work. We go back and forth. I tell him to google how tariffs work
Him after 5 minutes- man this can’t be right. Trump wouldn’t do this if it’s gonna raise prices.
Me
Me- switches conversion to taxes. Yo i know you a mechanic and i do taxes. Do you know why you can’t deduct the price of your tools no more. I know that was a nice size deduction for you 10 years ago. Yeah trumps tax cuts changed that. The business can deduct it but you the worker can’t. So yeah he took money out of your pocket and now the prices you waiting to go down are actually go up.
Ask him does he have kids. Yeah he’s got 4. Yo you know that expanded tax credit kamala was pushing coulda put 50k in y’all pocket over a 4year period
