The deep reflection of why I seem to make taxes/money the primary motivating voting factor.
Furthermore, the $2000ish tax cut (it wasn't $500), can be overshadowed easily by market gyrations caused by an Executive who makes rash decisions. I can imagine a situation where the annual tax cut can be overshadowed by a market drop due to another government shutdown. And even though I'm only in my 30s, it's quite easy to look back at my Fidelity retirement account and see the $30,000 or so drop during December (it's climbing nicely back up) and see how unstable leadership could cause even worse drops.
One could even imagine a parallel universe where another executive did not pass the tax cuts, but their guidance of the nation could allow for market conditions that do not gyrate as much.
