If Musk/Trump want to save money they'd cancel the 2017 Trump tax law which this year will cost us more than $100 Billion in interest charges as paid for with borrowing. More than double the cost of U.S. AID humanitarian work. AID is a U.S. jobs program, giving American-made food, medicine, etc. - ThreadSky

Letting people keep their more of their money isn’t a cost. Lack of revenue isn’t a problem for the federal government

Must/Trump don't want to save money; they want to turn America into a post-capitalist, technofeudalist society with Russian-style elections. And if, God forbid, they annex Canada, Musk, as the son of a Canadian mother, could claim to be a natural born American and replace Trump as supreme leader.

The goal isn't to save money it's to dismantle and destroy the Federal Government and install Project 2025.

The wealthiest 1 in 1,000 families and the corporations they control got 83% of the tax "savings," but the 2017 Trump tax law is really a tax INCREASE deferred to the future with interest charges added to the $2.5 Trillion borrowed to give relief to centi-millionaires and billionaires.

Taxing the rich to reduce deficits is so much simpler than this doge mayhem.

You mean taxing the rich more, the rich pay the majority of federal taxes

basiccitygirl.bsky.social•4 days ago

not the 1%

There nothing in the constitution that gives the federal government the power to tax wealth. I realize too many Americans don’t understand that the constitution limits the power and scope of the federal government

The tax rate on wealthy in the 50s was 90%.
