Minimum Wage Ninja

I compared a paystub from last year to a paystub from this year. Even though my gross pay remained the same, I am now taking home $22.91 more in net pay.  This means that over the course of a year I'll be taking home up to $595.66 more. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN BABY!!! Readers, do you know understand why people think this is a bad thing?  I sure don't!  The money is in my pocket, and that's what I understand.

I'm not going to pretend to have read or understand the 400+ pages of proposed tax changes.  So I'm getting my information from other news sources. There are a lot of people complaining that the tax cuts benefit the rich more than the poor. They say poor people save like a $100 bucks while rich people save $10,000 bucks or more.  The thing is I don't care if the rich people save a million dollars in taxes.  If it means that I get an extra hundred dollars and don't have to pay it back elsewhere, then that is my gain.  Quit being jealous of the rich, and mind your own damn business.  There is no reason to compare your gains to other people's gains when you are still getting a pretty good gain.  $100 bucks is still many hours worth of work that I am about to save, it pays to look at the actual effect of the tax cut instead of the perceived comparative effect of the cut.
