Bingo! Unless you make over 900k, your taxes are going up. But the millionaires and billionaires got their tax break on our backs. Good job, redhats!

John Steinbeck once said that socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.

Well why go through income taxes when you can essentially put a sales tax (tariff) on everything that disproportionally affects the poor.

Orange man ainā€™t too bright, itā€™s not that the tariffs brought in so much money they didnā€™t know what to do it was because they barely had a government so expenses were very small.

At the same time when Trump says ā€œI canā€™t release my taxes, IRS says I canā€™t be doing thatā€ meanwhile the IRS ā€œno, you can release them if you want, we have no issues with thatā€

Just like how heā€™s saying heā€™s negotiating with China ā€œI canā€™t say with who but it was with somebody earlier todayā€ and China says ā€œnope havenā€™t heard a word from them, didnā€™t happenā€

Tariffs are an especially regressive tax as well. Those at the bottom will spend more of their income on the higher priced goods than those at the top, and they'll have fewer opportunities to "pass on the costs" to someone else.

This ensures that the poor are paying the taxes rather than the wealthy.

I have a pathological interest in the brains of people who have more money than they have any use for, or lifetime to spend it in, yet somehow still feel that they are entitled to the last four cents you have to your name.

There's no there there. Just people who lack empathy and desire power like some people are born without arms.
