Check Your Wallet: Can You Find the $4,000 Trump Promised You?

[commondreams.org]

(The average household brought home $83,143 in income last year. Hassett predicts that would increase by $4,000 to $9,000 a year from reducing business tax rates alone (families that earn less will see a smaller increase). Trump also wants to slash personal income tax rates, but Hassett says there aren't enough details yet to forecast those benefits.)

Between Mary and myself, we are right about at that level. Minus the bonuses and the increase. Same story, same lie.

(That’s 100 times more than the $7 billion workers got in bonuses and raises.)

So if Mary and I didn't get them, what type of worker is?

How is medicare and medicaid funded?

How is it funded?
Payroll taxes paid by most employees, employers, and people who are self-employed
Other sources, like these:
Income taxes paid on Social Security benefits
Interest earned on the trust fund investments
Medicare Part A premiums from people who aren't eligible for premium-free Part A

So why do we continue to allow them to screw with our hard earned money? Same with social security?

Exactly, and social security was never "their money" in the first place.
