When my kids were growing up, and my ex-husband disappeared the head of household benefit was so necessary for my budgeting! This is awful. Bastards!

As a former tax preparer, I can vouch for this. It was also added to help people of low income to aid them in supporting their dependents. Doing away with it would really hurt single parents on low income. Republicans are sinking lower and lower to punish the people who need assistance the most. 🤬

So billionaires can get bigger yachts.

Good luck with a razor thin margin the in house and not 60 votes in the Senate.

It’s always about revenge against their wives

Why is this not surprising.

pcrritesgood.bsky.social•42 days ago

I assume another reason for this is to help shitty dudes keep their wives trapped in terrible marriages because you know damn well if the woman is able to escape with a divorce he won't really suffer as much from the additional tax.

TRUMP IN POWER USES HIS POWER. NOT ABOUT SHOW TO HIM! Trump just does it.

Sadly, there may be collateral damage but those who voted for him need to suffer immensely to see their poor choices. I’m ready. LFG!!!

Punishing lbgtq parents as well. Which I bet is the goal

slybunny24.bsky.social•42 days ago

Rich since Trump, Hegseth, and slew of his top appointees have multiple divorces

padem420.bsky.social•42 days ago

Have they thought of the one parent family because a spouse was killed while serving to protect this country?

lavalips.bsky.social•42 days ago

They are taking away vet benefits. Do you think they really care?

padem420.bsky.social•42 days ago

This will severely affect this widowed retiree who is raising her grandson.

gallopinginkblot.bsky.social•42 days ago

Not surprised. He's even more unhuman than Trump

offshorecapt20.bsky.social•42 days ago

What are they going to do with people who end up homeless because they taxed them out of their home?

tiffi-nagaty.bsky.social•42 days ago

Ron Wyden posted and excellent thread here on Bsky outlining all the deplorable things they have planned for us. Really, take the time to read it. They're really going to stick it to us.

They are parasites that need to be flushed out!

dandeliun248.bsky.social•42 days ago

Single families headed by women outnumber those headed by men by 2:1.
Misogyny and the desire to force women to remain in abusive marriages plays a huge role here.

lavalips.bsky.social•42 days ago

ABSOLUTELY! EVERYTHING THEY DO TROTS AROUND THEIR RELIGIOUS IDEALS OF FAMILY AND THE CONTROL OF WOMEN TO SERVE THE MAN.

debbienorthway.bsky.social•42 days ago

Tax the billionaires

paul-mercury.bsky.social•42 days ago

GOP opposes abortion while fostering policies that increases the rate of them.

Will people ever stop voting for these fcuking lunatics?

beechlvr.bsky.social•42 days ago

This is the same shit Reagan did when he gave tax breaks to the rich and big corporations!

secretwanderer.bsky.social•42 days ago

Any single parent struggles to look after their family, so I'd this is taken away and they have to pay higher rates on their paltry income, it is going to cause such hardship to an already stretched budget. Meanwhile these super rich people give tax cuts to the Oligarchy!

eo412.bsky.social•42 days ago

Ahhhhh……that’s so pro life of them!

drf46.bsky.social•42 days ago

So let me see if I have this straight… They want to force women to have children they may not be able to afford by banning or severely restricting abortion, and now they want to try to remove the head of household status so they can't get a tax break?
