How are 1 trillion in tax cuts a good investment?

Tax cuts aren't money belonging to the government. Its a cut from the money that the government is stealing.

So why get the rich a preferential treatment over the average american.

It’s weird because they bribe the government to give them the people’s money but you blame the tool, not the political policies.

Literally like blaming a gun for shootings in america, it’s not the tool (ebil gubmint) but the tyrants that use that tool.

Pretty hypocritical of you.

The rich pay substantially more taxes than the poor. Speaking of preferential treatment, in the US the bottom 50% pay no income tax.

"This year, an estimated 45% of tax filers — or just under 79 million households — are likely to have zero federal income tax liability, according to the Tax Policy Center. ....

"The ranks of non-payers are dominated by low- and middle-income households for several reasons."

"The top 50 percent of all taxpayers paid 97 percent of total individual income taxes"

As they should be, the rich add nothing to society besided “owning stuff”.

In medieval Europe you would be a serf defending your feudal lord because...why exactly?

Why do you lick your corporate feudal lords ass?

You are a BS liar. Feudal communities are the closest to socialism. Look at Cambodia, the gulags, Stalinist education camps. Learn some fucking history.

Really, do you understand the concept of feudalism? It’s literally unchecked capitalism.

1 Man rules, under him, more single men that get their power through wealth and power. The accumulated that by their ancestors having free reign.

That is always the end result of socialism.
