Well, here you have it. The biggest grift of all time. A grift on an entire nation.

So, the poorest Americans will get drastically less services from the government and pay more tax. Meanwhile the richest Americans will pay massively less tax & don't use government services anyway.

@Remittancegirl What's totally ludicrous is that $36K is pennies for the folks in that richest bracket. Will literally change nothing for them.

The billionaires above them tho? Oh you bet you're sweet bippy the are getting mad cash from this scam.

@Remittancegirl
Wealthy people about to find out exactly how many government services they do use.

When Medicaid gets cut, the hospital closes.

When fires rage, no one is there to save their mountain mansion.

When disaster strikes, no one is there to organize the recovery and the looting begins.

When the bridge collapses, no one is there to rebuild it and they're stuck.

When the dam breaks, no one is there to rebuild it and restore their lakefront vacation home's valuation.

@shansterable Excellent points. I expect that's why they're building bunkers.

@shansterable They'll just do their own private roads and bridges, and place private security around it. Might work for them for a while.

The question that always haunts me is: just who do they imagine will be buying their company's products if everyone outside the billionaire class is on the bread line?

@Stevenheywood There is nothing but short-termism going on here, because those people never actually interact with people every facing a breadline. It's an abstract to them.

Turn to page 23.

The underclass will be exterminated.
They are not needed as Labor or consumers.
What little remains, will be slaves.

@Remittancegirl They have an updated chart from this month at the bottom of this page: itep.org/house-budget-resoluti

So while they now say *everyone* will get a tax cut, the top 1% are now getting double the previous amount, around $78,000 while all the real people still get basically nothing.

@Remittancegirl Blue states are netto payers to the federal governement. Red states are the negative payers, they get more then they pay to the federal governement. Now cuts federal expenses to the states, so the blue states must stop paying to the federal budget, at least the sum they get cutoff by

@muzicofiel I think that would be by far the most effective of all revolts.

@Remittancegirl even today, all you people can talk about are tax cuts. You’ve got a fascist in the white house and jackboots rounding up the undesirables. You’re less than 10 years from death camps in Texas. Being trans is just about as illegal as being Jewish was in 1930s Germany. But, our taxes!!!! What a waste of the word “resistance”. From the country of guns and “freedom”, no less! How embarrassing for you.

I don't know which 'you people' you are directing your comments to.

I notice you don't follow me. So you would never know that this is the first time I've post about tax cuts in a year.

Do not fucking straw-man me, or lump me in some group of people you disagree with because it's convenient for you or gets your dick hard or whatever.

Aim better, asshole.

@Remittancegirl All these tax bracket shenanigans assume that Maine is the only state that is willing to keep all Federal taxes at home.
