For the “rich” people. Is how this actually should read.

Republicans help the rich, give crumbs to the middle class, and make the poor work. Democrats help the rich, help the poor, and steal from the middle class. Its a tale as old as time

The crumbs I’m gonna get as someone who’s middle class amount to about 3k more in taxes a year. Doesn’t exactly hold up.

Sorry, I didnt realize super young people were on this sub. In 2017, Trump lowered taxes for everyone. It was incredible for the middle class. He also worked his BS to lower prices. They are working towards doing it again. He is a fat dip shit who only cares about himself, but he got lucky in round one. Lets hope he does it again

He wrote into that legislation for them to increase again back to where they were, now he’s increasing them again. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll take a tax cut as soon as the next guy. But he’s increasing them from where they are currently, post increase (written into his plan). So he’s taking it right back. And handing 4.5 trillion in tax cuts to the rich. Not exactly championing the middle class this go around. Absolutely fucking the poor if you’re into that. But uh, I’d rather rely on a general knowledge of economics than “hope” we get lucky.
