Do you honestly think Donald Trump will cut taxes for the middle class and make billionaires pay their fair share, or crack down on price gouging and call on corporations to pass savings on to consumers?

Of course not! He is looking at cutting food stamps, Medicaid and other programs the majority of his imbecile supports rely on to make ends meet. Then he will reduce the income into SS, Medicare and our economy by mass deporting immigrants who pay into these.
No. But, they do. That’s why the GOP loves the gullible, uneducated and misinformed. They will start a Civil War over paying more and higher taxes than the top 1%. They just don’t know it. 🤦🏻♀️
I’m almost 68 years old and the republicans have been transferring wealth to the rich since the late ‘60’s. It never fails, tax cuts for the rich paid for by the middle class and lower class. If not for the democrats we would all be on the streets by now.
The middle class are people with advanced degrees like doctors and lawyers - and small business folk. Stop calling the working class the middle class. It’s gaffs like this that caused the Democrats to lose the labor vote.
You won’t have to pander to rich leftys if you back labor. They need our help
He lied to his cult! He will never cut taxes for anyone but the wealthy! Just wait people your pig of a future president doesn’t give a shit about you!
Hell, no.
And just wait till those who thought their eggs were going to be cheaper, despite our urgent warnings, come to understand the very people who gouged grocery prices will be receiving immense tax cuts on their backs.
We are still dealing with the bird flu, when companies have to slaughter millions & millions of infected birds/eggs, shit is going to be expensive because farmers have to start from ground zero after spending millions cleaning the disease out of their farms. Those people are so damn dumb.
Not when they think the bird flu came from a lab in (insert country of choice here) to raise the price of eggs & make everyone gay by activating the microchip in the yolk via an emergency broadcast alert.
Absolutely don’t think he is going to get the prices to go down. He is a business man that has gotten money off the back of others by price cutting them. The billionaires are going to fund his empires. Once a greedy man always a greedy man.
He has no plans... but to BS his way and secure his dynasty. He will plunder the country and ensure elections never happen again. Ivanka will succeed him.
Nope. And the fact that anyone thought that shows the low levels of intelligence in America. They couldn't believe Harris would do it, but they think lying, grifting, cheap, hateful Trump who had promised corporations anything they want and is obviously in their pocket would. That's beyond stupid.
No I think he’ll gut programs and the GOP Congress will help. The question is will Dem Leadership be awake to do anything or more worried about getting a fruitcup in the cafeteria
He doesn't have to. The proportion of Trump voters saying they feel hurt by the economy is already down 15% since the election. If inflation went up to 20% due to the rapist's elite-serving policies they'd all pretend it was no problem.Its all about the feelings of idiots.
That was the other option. We could have been moving the middle class forward…. But nooooooo. We gave up on being global contenders. USA chooses instead chaos and destruction of all things good. Someone help me shift my mindset please.
Is this a rhetorical question??? I'll answer anyway...of course Trump won't do anything for the middle and lower classes. He will, however, do what he did the first time in office...give the rich another tax cut handout that they obviously do NOT need. The greed and cruelty is high with this group!!
Let’s see… does he lie? Like a rug. Or some petty limited tax break then tell the peasants how great he is for doing something while the rich get richer. Up next Rollerball followed by Soylent Green
Trump's regressive tax cut is clearly designed to undo the benefits of a progressive tax system.
Progressive tax systems tax people with less income more lightly than people with more income. That is because we all have basic minimal fixed costs for food, clothing, shelter, transportation.
I think what both Harris and Trump were proposing when they talked about middle tax cuts was to renew the Trump cuts that expire I believe next year. Neither side can afford more. Harris was only planning to renew the cuts for people under $400k. Trump will renew it for everyone.
I am so glad that so many people were concerned about the economy and voted Orange man, I'm sure you will enjoy your tax breaks and all the other people programs Republicans are well known for.
Of course not. Even if he did his policies will hurt the economy so we will still be down most likely by double digits maybe more. The bottom line is simply: less consumer spending=less jobs.
The problem you may be having getting through. Is your using real charts supported by numbers and facts. I’m shocked some of these people can read a P/L but pay no attention to examples such as the one you just posted.
Not a single reasonable person actually believes any of that. How many unfulfilled promises did he make back in 2016? They only vote for him cuz of hate racism and misogyny. Cuz they just couldn't stand to see an educated Black female as President.
No, & Felon Trump & His Rumppublicans 🤔. The Blamed High Groceries Prices on President Biden & Vice-president Kamala Harris for High Prices! Biden couldn't interfere in Companies Charging High Prices! Neither Can Trump! The big difference is Trump won't say a Word About Excessive Profits!
Oh yes, he will cut taxes for everyone and increase social security benefits. King Trump is such a credible leader that every word uttered by him must be trusted.
Every day when he starts we should be asking where is No tax on tips, overtime, and social security? Dems should start one of their own - no taxes if you make less than $50k.
ABSOLUTELY NO!! HE'S GOING TO LITERALLY RUIN THE USA.. ARE YOU HAPPY MAGA YOU VOTED FOR A UNQUALIFIED SEXUAL OFFENDER WHO APPOINTED MORE SEXUAL OFFENDERS AND GOING TO RAISE ARE ECONOMY AND BREAK ARE UNIONS AND LABOR LAWS DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU HAVE DONE
Do you honestly think this shows what you claim? The relevant comparison would be the amount of the reduction in FIT as a percentage of the total FIT for the group. Probably you’re right but your chart doesn’t show it.
It's not a simple critique. S/he's pointing out that the chart is misleading and effectively meaningless. By your logic, I can't point out the flaws in someone's analysis without doing the same work in a different way?
This is not a jury. People have access to properly sourced data to illustrate their point. We need people to do their own work rather than complaining and waiting to be spoon fed what they think but haven’t confirmed.
But.. the 1 percent dont need to get anything back at all... and they should be paying in more. This chart just shows you who tr.um.p really cares for and it ain't the regular folk living paycheck to paycheck.
#MAGA are even more delusional than #CorruptGOP if they believe this. #TrumpGOPLies will all be coming out now since they’re in charge of everything. Hopefully #Democrats learn to better expose the #fascism and #autocracy of this administration this time around. #WakeUpMAGA #VoteBlueForDemocracy
Average person on Social Security makes $1K -2K. That is where they will start cutting. They will go for the weakest and do as much damage as they can.
and the earth is flat.
and the moon landing was faked (my dad built the fucking rocket)
and the sky is pink
and the sun revolves about the earth
and...
Why would I do any of that? The whole point is to sell populism not DO populism. My tax cuts from the first time are just rehashed neoliberalism but people liked me because I was on the Apprentice and I wasn't Hillary. Now I am the oligarch's retribution!
Do you think trump (or any GOP politician) has read the part of the Constitution that says "more perfect Union, insure domestic Tranquility and promote the general Welfare” that was mentioned in the very first sentence of the Constitution? If so, do you think that they will honor their oath?
It's okay, folks. 40 years ago we were instructed to believe the wealth will "trickle down". I'm sure it'll happen one of these days... probably some time after Infrastructure Week™.
We all know he will do the exact opposite. He’s going to elevate the wealthy, try to destroy the sick and poor, and eliminate quality education so people won’t know any better.
Trump has an entire book of mandates, plus some secret ones, that say no. The rich will get richer & we'll be their broke, uneducated, over-taxed & underpaid pawns, where having children will be mandated, not a personal choice, for people of breeding age who won't be able to then feed them.
No, I'm not stupid. I voted for Kamala. It does bother me that so many financial people are for trump. It has me thinking about finding a new financial advisor. I don't know if I can deal with a magat managing my money
Not at all, but what are we missing here? Why do so many who voted for him believe this? Are they being fed outright lies, or do they really not care??
They believe because they have no critical thinking skills.. they didn't pay attention in school and otherwise have no curiosity about the country and world they live in.
They were also lied to by their church and whatever media/propaganda they consume. Anyone else who pays attention to actual news and knows the facts voted for Harris.
That graph is nonsensical. 61k per what? It’s not a total amount. Billionaires will steal far more than 61k each. Don’t post misleading graphs like an idiot.
Considering their income is 800K a year, and they'd happily plunge everyone else into economic instability and absolute disaster - for ... extra 61K?
They are not humans. Animals.
Not a chance. He plans to give the 1% another tax break while leaving the rest of us in the lurches. Trump despises the working class and the poverty-stricken. He’s promised to eliminate Medicare and Medicaid, leaving millions uninsured, and is considering eliminating Social security.
What is so disturbing, there are people out there that believe this. But can not point to one thing he did to support the middle class. No evidence. Same people I guess buying stuff on Temu.
But how do you package this information in a simple, basic format so the uninformed & gullible can absorb it? How do we fight the propaganda machine on the right in clean and uncomplicated ways that targets Trump voters? Maybe get some elementary school teachers involved.

Now the billionaires will be taken care of by the 🍊💩 when they kiss the ring

And just wait till those who thought their eggs were going to be cheaper, despite our urgent warnings, come to understand the very people who gouged grocery prices will be receiving immense tax cuts on their backs.
Not to mention the tariffs…
For this we said “fuck Democracy”?
Big fat no.
Mine went up 9k!
How badly will he punish us this time?
#trumptaxscam
Oh no, that’s not me, that’s MAGA.
Progressive tax systems tax people with less income more lightly than people with more income. That is because we all have basic minimal fixed costs for food, clothing, shelter, transportation.
So, I wouldn’t hold my breath that’s for sure!
He's a poster boy, a scapegoat.
I hope you and I never end up on the same jury.

When he told a room full of billionaires that he'd give them more tax cuts https://bsky.app/profile/axidentaliberal.bsky.social/post/3lbfp6hv3is2z
No Republican does that. Ever.
Wait... I'm not in the 1%?
We're doomed.
They are not humans. Animals.
That was the other presidential candidate!
The info was out there and the electorate spoke.
They preferred a mendacious convicted felon and sexual predator as their inimitable
commander (🤡)-in-chief.
It didn’t have to be as tough as it’s going to be.
And those damn “eggs” will cost MORE!
