    No tax on tips, no tax on overtime, talk of not taxing anyone making below 150k per year… these aren’t billionaires benefitting, amigo.

    oh, and tax cuts GROW tax receipts as the economy grows. Just like Trump’s last tax cuts did. And this is largely reupping those cuts and not letting them expire.


    GOOD DAY

    along w his many other failures as POTUS, such as
    • mishandling of the pandemic
    • unable to come up with a plan to replace Obama Care
    • ineffective trade war / tariffs
    • unable to come up w a plan for his much hyped-infrastrucure bill
    • etc..
    got him fired by the American voters

    When the economy grows off those billions wasted on the tax cuts for the top 1%, the billions more poured into our military, Musk's rocketships and Mars agenda, and the retaliation off our proposed tariff wars get back to me. Also, get back to me when anyone making under $150,000 a year doesn't have to pay any taxes on their income.

    To give rich Americans a $4.5 trillion tax cut, Trump will cut health care for the poor

    https://www.wbur.org/cognoscenti/20...edicaid-medicare-social-security-steve-almond


    Household in the top 5% — who earn more than $450,000 a year, roughly — are the “biggest winners,”

    The bottom 80% of income earners would get 29% of the total value of proposed tax cuts in 2026, according to the Wharton analysis, issued Thursday. The top 10% would get 56% of the value, it said.

    The combination of tax cuts and spending reductions for programs like Medicaid and food stamps would leave “low-income households worse off,” even after accounting for economic growth.

    https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/03/who-benefits-from-trump-tax-cuts-and-jobs-act-extension.html


    So, the Robin Hood scam gives to the rich and steals from the poor, while our national debt skyrockets, the people pay the added cost from tariffs. Don't even try to spit out trickle down economy, because that's been proven a load of BS, spewed by the wealthy.

    You know who won't suffer? Guys like Trump and Musk, and their families. They can live like Kings, profit off the government while flying around on Air Force One, wheeling and dealing at fancy dinners for bribes and favors all at the taxpayer expense.

    The funding is cut from everything like medical research, firing experts, scientists, researchers, infectious disease experts, meteorologists, healthcare and aid workers, forestry workers, disaster preparedness workers and more, along with thousands fired including veterans and disabled workers in government agencies. across the boards of funding, VA funding, healthcare funding, National disaster funding, school funding.

    The people will pay one way or another, from inflation off tariffs rising the cost of goods, car and home insurance and loss of services, healthcare, or jobs. No amount of tax savings offsets not being able to afford healthcare and meds, more risk of environmental poisoning, worse labor laws, and less civil rights, or Trump censored speech, media, and reporting. Being lied to, forced to confirm to Trump's ideology, and taken advantage of doesn't sound like a win. Meanwhile, the National Debt will skyrocket over time with tax cuts to the rich.

    Where to cut though?

    Utter stupidity is thinking . .. . I'm going to cut spending .. . . AND REVENUE!!!
    Cut spending by 25% but cutting revenue by 50% will increase the debt
    basic math

    Revenue - Cost = Profit/Debt
    100 - 120 = 20 in debt
    50 - 80 = 30 . . aka more debt

    Cutting spending means absolutely nothing when you cut the income
    In this case - giving Billionaire deep and painful tax cuts.

    MEANWHILE - you destroying lives

    GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE RUN LIKE A BUSINESS BECAUSE BUSINESSES MEASURES SUCCESs BY PROFIT IN TERMS OF MONEY
    WHERE AS GOVERNMENT MEASURES SUCCESS BY THE DECREASE IN HUMAN MISERY AND SUFFERING

    Saving 50% of the money but increase human misery by 200% . . .. is not success AT ALL

    Taxes are not being cut by 50% — but I’d be in favor of that! I’m also in favor of a businessman running the country, as you suggest. Did you think Biden or Harris (lol) were business people? Goodness the level of stupidity in your unreadable posts is mind boggling!


    GOOD DAY

    His speech didn't prevent any vote from being held. Not a filibuster. Just some grandstanding.

    You need a hobby or some types of companionship Deb. I’d like to help you out but I’m married. Let me see what I can do, maybe hitting up some of the single guys that I trained with and ask them if they wouldn’t mind coming over to keep you company?

    You can't say he didn't try. The problem is that Republicans let 25 hours of reasoning go in one ear and out the other. They prefer to keep their lips attached to an old nasty man's butt.
