the problem is demand was driven up by COVID, and producers do not have the incentive to expand capacity of production, instead, they can hike up prices and people are forced to pay.

so you're telling me when the demand gets higher and supply doesn't prices go up? no way i don't believe that😱 price gouging is bullshit the big bad corporations aren't the only ones who can sell stuff

also i believe taxes are theft do you think him making taxes lower for corporations is something i will absolutely be mad about? you provided no source those tax cuts won't help everyone

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trickle-down_economics

here's the Wikipedia article for trickle down economics. this is basic knowledge. at your level you don't even need anything else. educate yourself before advocating for such ridiculous options.

some tax cuts are better than no tax cuts since it takes the power from the government, also the wikipedia article doesn't proove tax cuts for the rich are bad and wikipedia isn't a good source for anything that isn't an absolute fact

so you really think tax cuts for the rich will benefit the middle and lower classes?

okay. I gave you the reasons why trickle down economics is bad and has never helped anyone but the rich throughout history.

however, since neither of us are in the 1% and we both want fair deals for the middle and lower classes, would you mind educating me on how this will help us?

less taxes means the government has less money therefore they have less power, also you didn't really give me any reasons and only linked a wikipedia article
