46. I am still luckier than you

Tue Dec 19, 2017, 03:45 PM

Dec 2017

I am a retired federal employee, so did get that good health insurance, though I'm struggling with just other living costs so tax relief would have been nice, but in actuality, I'd like to see better public service, not these tax cuts for the well off. I realize others are struggling even more than myself as I live in a rural area and I see many people who I wonder how they even do it. My brother has helped me out and he will always help me out, so I know I have that safety net.

Hoping for a blue tsunami in 2018, but with Trump as POTUS, that will not undo what is being done today with this #GOPTaxscam
