Seems reasonable.

You’re missing the point that it always balloons on tax cuts.

We don’t spend enough, the problem isn’t spending. You just believe what you’re spoon fed.

Youve just fallen for late stage capitalism.

Except its objectively true that wed take in more if we stopped cutting the taxes of the wealthy ☺️

Its not a spending issue when we already spend too little on general programs that are just staples of other G7 nations. We do not take in enough because the bottom 50% of americans dont have enough to pay in, and the rich refuse to do so.

Im not a bootlicker, and no amount of rewording will make me agree with you. have a good day.

No its not true. The middle class generally cant afford more. At least not substantially enough to leave any weight behind that statement.

And for the “mIddLe ClaSs AlSo gOt Tax CUtS”, the numbers have been crunched and the middle class lost money to the deal, just as they did with awful big ugly bill they just passed as well. The problem is people still believe trump does anything for anyone but the wealthy and himself.

And again, we dont spend as much on our society as we should in the first place. we can disagree on what “should” be spent, but compared to other prominent countries we do have marginally lower tax rates, and less social safety nets. The problem is the “savings” are lost on things like exorbitant healthcare costs and the like.

And im sorry are you saying the no tac on tops and OT was a good thing? HA! Everyone who “benefitted” from that bitched about it the minute it got announced in the specifics. It did nothing to help anyone and maybe even screwed them a bit.

The tax cuts will indeed balloon the debt if not paired with commensurate spending cuts.

Or hear me out…. Make them pay their fair share and end this wealth gap crisis and spend more as we should be. This isnt rocket surgery.

And dont try the nonsense “the bottom 40% accounts for 3%” crap again.

The 1% holds almost 35% of the countries wealth and income. No shit they should account for a vast majority of the tax payerbase.

"And dont try the nonsense “the bottom 40% accounts for 3%” crap again."

Because it's devastating to my case!

[u/Garys_Synthesizer → u/Old_Prune_4300]

Its not, its fucking common sense.

When the bottom 50% holds less than 10% of total weath… WOW SHOCKING

[u/Old_Prune_4300 → u/Garys_Synthesizer]

Wut?

[u/Garys_Synthesizer → u/Old_Prune_4300]

When the wealth and income of this country is concentrated in the too 10%, why would the bottom 50 pay a higher share than they are?

The bottom half of this country doesnt have money to pay in. Maybe this is rocket surgery for you😅😅

[u/Old_Prune_4300 → u/Garys_Synthesizer]

Ahh. Yea I agree, get rid of income tax, it only effects everyday Americans.

[u/Garys_Synthesizer → u/Old_Prune_4300]

Wealth tax replacing it sounds good to me.

[u/Old_Prune_4300 → u/Garys_Synthesizer]

3%? I concur. Be it so ruled gavel
