Seems like this is the end game for the Republicans. Start off by giving massive tax breaks to the super wealthy donors, written by lobbyists for the donors. Make sure it increases the deficit. Those billionaires got jets to upgrade! ✔️ Next, complain about deficit spending. Instead of requiring the extremely wealthy to pay, or slashing our military budget (bigger than 8 biggest countries’ COMBINED), suggest drastic cuts to programs that benefit the poor (Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid), including veterans, senior and children. Those mooches gotta work! —Coming 🔜 Next...what are we going to do with all these sick, malnourished and dying poor people? They could be processed into pet food for the wealthy. Or fertilizer? There must be some other uses. 🔚
the Dead Kennedys song on this topic was called Kill the Poor. At last we have more room to play.
And Motörhead had Eat The Rich
Can’t you see the new laws which would make children financially responsible for their parents, and parents’ debts?
Excellent idea. Thinking like a Koch! ⭐️
Where are these massive tax breaks? Show us what someone earning $10M pays under today's plan versus the new plan. Cuck
It says people earning over one million dollars a year will see a $500 cut. Well when the standard deduction plus personal expedition total of 10K is replaced with a 12K I would expect that. Now do some math instead of relying on WaPoo. Stop reading shit and start using critical thinking.
Well we got rid of coverage of cancer treatment in Medicare. We will basically just let the expensive old people die off early and let the medical industry fleece the their money. It’s a start I guess. The main course will be privatization of Medicare and social security. Then The middle class will be in the soup.
My dad recently passed of two kinds of cancer. We was pretty poor, had really no assets but his ~2100 a month retirement +ss was enough to make him ineligible for any government assistance. Which sucks because the care facility he had to be in was 5500 a month not counting his treatment. Luckily for us, his treatment got covered by private grants, but if he lasted a few months longer we would have been taking out second mortgages. Please don't act like the current administration is the one to fuck up Healthcare.
I'm so sorry for your loss and for all the difficulty. I hope you are doing ok.
I seriously LOLed on this title. It totally makes sense though looking at the bills the Republicans are pushing for.
Another legislative possibility for Koch United: bring back debtors prisons and pass laws requiring labor in the jail (voluntary of course...if the prisoners want to eat.) The poor will be deep in debt without entitlement programs so they’ll have no choice. Bring back the chain gangs!
The bottom 45% pay no federal income tax. The top 20% pay about 90%. Plus, many at the bottom still get tax subsidies (welfare) paid by the middle and top income earners. Do your homework and stop listening to crazy Bernie.
@cyr — you’re the one who hasn’t done his homework. This study, from the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, found that "virtually every state's tax system is fundamentally unfair, taking a much greater share of income from low- and middle-income families than from wealthy families." It added that state and local tax systems are "indirectly contributing to growing income inequality by taxing low- and middle-income households at significantly higher rates than wealthy taxpayers." See for yourself: https://itep.org/whopays/
Your original post refers to federal tax. My response was to federal tax - and contains facts. Your counter-response refers to state and local tax. Let’s stay focused.

I’m glad someone got it!!
Oh i thought you just accidentally copied swift. Lots of engineers are illiterate
Poor people need jobs, not food stamps. That's why Trump won the election.
Your post is why Netflix will be crushed by Amazon. #notthebestorthebrightest
Also half the WORKING employees of Walmart are on food stamps. You R’s like the minimum wage low to keep the workers desperate.

Rivian gonna go under?
Can't eat them.. Think of all the chemicals they ingest from McDonald's...
True! But since the R’s are behind the Monsanto lobby they don’t mind a little RoundUp carcinogens in their food already...so not a problem!
If you think it's just R's that take money from Monsanto.. You're ignorant
