I don’t know who needs to know this but my take home pay looks like some bullshit. What rich asshole is taking half of my pay that goes to “taxes”?

    First off even for regular checkups I have to pay extra cuz a continues 1/5th of my pay isn’t enough

    That is so wild. The US has the most expensive system in the world and often not that great service in return and somehow so many are convinced that their broken system is so much better… I guess that’s partly explained by an also broken education system. That’s something that always has been broken as far as I can remember, but now it’ll get sooooo much worse under Trump.

    Plus I’m brown enough to live in fear of getting an accidental deportation parking ticket. Here, you hit the wrong car and they can apparently blast your front door. How does any of that even help me?

    Aaaaaand another thing that’s getting sooooo much worse under Trump. And all paid for by your taxes.

    I’ll emphasize though, the problem isn’t taxes, it’s a broken political system where 0.01% of the population pay for 50% or more of political campaigning and the people have allowed their representatives to create a system of government that fucks them over for reasons that appeal to their basest instincts.
