Ask me my feelings on our Republican President and Congress right about now.

Probably not a lot different than mine. I have to see where the 25% bracket kicks in to know if I'm hosed and if so then how badly.

I have to see where the 25% bracket kicks in to know if I'm hosed and if so then how badly.

I live in Illinois, a high tax state (Property Taxes, Income Taxes, Sales Taxes) so I get hammered under the Trump tax plan.

Add to that, I was recently divorced (not something I wanted) and am forced to pay exhorbitant alimony which under the Trump tax plan will no longer be tax deductible either.

Not only do I pay the tax on the money the ex gets from the forced alimony, I get ZERO of it back after taxes.

People like me are getting hammered by the Trump proposal nine different ways from Sunday. My only way "out" at this point is to quit my job, leave the state, go somewhere where it doesn't get bitter cold during the winter and live under a bridge somewhere.

A plan I'm strongly considering at the moment since I don't have much else of a choice!

I voted for President Trump, I didn't vote to have my taxes increase so dramatically.
