My opinion, if Trump cuts taxes for everyone but adds a percent or two to the wealthiest, it won't hurt America and it would be popular

When it comes to dollars
You are the biggest whiner here.

Disagree. Just find ways to protect SS and medicare instead of claiming they need to be cut. That's untrue.

Who wants to cut them?

There are those who declare SS is a pondicherry scheme which of course is a lie supplied by the wealthy.

So no one.

I forgot to include Medicaid. My bad. Im fact increase that one a little.

Trump will not cut my taxes..

Sure, can't make any cuts to zero.

The way I see this is that a 1% increase to the highest earners would destroy the narrative against him that "Trump is for the richest", while at the same time he cuts taxes for everyone else. Also, he can defend his tariffs as being at least a partial replacement of lower taxes.

Just my opinion. I always prefer lower taxes for all but politically it would help. Considering he cut taxes for corporations and is cutting regulations deeply, this would work and the wealthiest can't complain. Capital flight risk occurs anyways, another 1% isn't going to change this.

I recall a billionaire in Germany saying that he supported higher taxes for him and his friends. His reasoning? "I'd rather be wealthy in a rich country than wealthy in a poor country".

That is a profound statement and the logic resonated with me

The way I see it is that you're not an American citizen, the nation you live in voted for somebody to stand against trump, and you're here trying to tell us how great trump is when you don't have to face his policies. So STFU.

Define "wealthy" because I was sick and tired of assholes telling me I wasn't paying my 'fair' share and the constant demonization of people who worked their ass off and made sacrifices to become successful. MF'ers I'm not the piggy bank for the rest of the goddamn lazy fat ass losers to MOOCH off.

On this same topic, if government seized every goddamn dollar of the 'rich' annual income it wouldn't even cover the deficit. So much for the PROPAGANDA of the problem being the 'rich' don't pay their fair share.

What I get sick and tired of are rich people whining about having to pay taxes. If they seized every dollar the rich cheats America out of, it would indeed begin cutting the deficit and over time would erase it.

Umm, he hit us with tariffs so we do experience it. Now define yourself.and your motivation. You are here to suggest Trumps policies are so bad. If you are such a partisan why didnt you defend Bidens policies? Better yet, conpare the two figures policies and then conjure up an argument that justifies your hatred in oppoisition. Otherwise, you're worse than a Canandian if you are simply blinded with irrational hate.

And no business without workers
It is workers who create wealth

DEI workers and Nepos don't. They are dead wood.

Fake Opposition on Both Sides

If you really believe that, make them pay an equal percentage of their income. Otherwise, it's just a talking point.

Yes, tax the bastards -

Don't give it to unprivileged kids, but give it to the government to pay for immigrants and trans ops.
