You got what you were voting for, which was tax cuts for the rich and deregulation.

I got what I voted for: a halt to the swarm of illegal aliens, a ramping down of antisemitism on liberal college campuses, a tax break for elderly on fixed incomes, and a strong president who would be willing to stand up to Islamic terrorism.
No they aren't. In the 70's, us young people were buying mobile homes as starter homes. Mobile home parks are dying. Kids don't want to start at the bottom.

Oh, so the government is supposed to force some people to be responsible for others.
And tax cuts for the rich do not hurt anyone.

Yes, that is exactly what the government is supposed to do.
Tax cuts for the rich increase the national debt.
Just about everything increases the national debt.
Why? Are black women inherently superior to white men? Is the basis of that superiority genetic?

The national debt was under control when the top tax rate never got below 70%, and was often much higher.
My understanding is that loopholes made the effective rate far lower.
It is also worth noting that the out of control debt seems to be an universial problem, not limited to low tax America.
So.... yeah.

Even with the loopholes the rich paid a much higher percentage of their income in taxes. A high top tax rate gives the government considerable control over the economic behavior of the rich,
Considering how much of the government has been very hostile to me, why would that make me happy?

Pew Research Center, March 19, 2025
With Congress considering legislation that would extend the tax cuts passed during the first Trump administration, a majority of Americans continue to say taxes should be increased, not decreased, for large businesses and corporations. They also say this for household income over $400,000 a year.
More than six-in-ten U.S. adults (63%) say tax rates on large businesses and corporations should be raised. This includes 34% who say they should be raised a lot. Another 19% say large businesses’ tax rates should be lowered, while 17% say they should be kept the same as they are now.
About six-in-ten (58%) say tax rates on household income over $400,000 should be raised, including 23% who say these tax rates should be raised a lot. Much smaller shares say taxes on higher-income households should be lowered (19%) or kept the same (21%).

Democrats are overwhelmingly supportive of raising taxes on these groups, while Republicans are more divided.

I never said you should be happy.

So.... why do we care about this?
White poor groups do not get as much government money and opportunities as the favored privileged ones like African American women. And they still screw up no matter the programs lavished on them. 92% of them vote for Progressives. And a major reason the ghettos are endless.
We are raising the taxes on corporations. They are called tariffs.Pew Research Center, March 19, 2025

Well, they're getting what they want. Even when it targets them.
