  I already shown you that you don’t even know the policies of an administration you support and that is going to screw the middle and low classes in favour of a tiny percentage of the wealthiest elite

  How is a tax cut screwing over the middle class? Do we need to add screwed over to the list of words you don’t understand.

    If you apply such cut only above a certain threshold income everyone under that threshold will not reap te benefit of that cut while at the same time will be affected by alack of investments in public spending and services which will derive from a lower income in the state revenue caused by said tax cut.

    Is this clear or should I draw you a picture? Maybe I can build you a dioirama using play-doh. Thinking about it, better not: I wouldn’t want you to put that paste up your nose trying to fill that so unconfortable void sitting inside your thick skull

      It’s a flat cut accross the board so this doesn’t apply. Everyone’s tax rate is lowered the same amount. Remember this tax isn’t a progressive tax cut, you still remember what a progressive tax cut is.

      they will be affected by a lack of investments in public spending and services which will derive from a lower income in the state revenue caused by said tax cut.

      That’s a simpletons understanding of how funding works. If nothing is cut then the deficit increases, this is common. If foreign aid is cut how does that harm the taxpayer? If defense spending is cut how does that harm the taxpayer?

      My point is taxes go to so much more than infrastructure and social programs that the US spends taxpayer money on. There are a lot of things than can be cut and not harm low income families.

      Hopefully now you’ll see why your simple statement is just ignorant of what is really going on.

        Even if this would be a flat cut across the board who do you think would benefit more from this cut, proportionally? A family with 100K income taxed at a flat rate of 35% or a family with 100,000K taxed at the same rate? Who would save more money from a tax cut in this scenario?

        You do understand why tax rates should be progressive, right?

        That’s a simpletons understanding of how funding works. If nothing is cut then the deficit increases, this is common.

        You have seen that this administration is currently cutting agencies related to consumers protection and state management, right? Are you living in the same reality as all of us or are you living the MAGA dream?

        If foreign aid is cut how does that harm the taxpayer? If defense spending is cut how does that harm the taxpayer?

        Once more you don’t understand the concept of soft power. If you think that cutting spending abroad will benefit the USA while China and Russia keep on spending on developing countries to entrench their politics in these parts of the world you are even stupider than what you sound like

        Hopefully now you’ll see why your simple statement is just ignorant of what is really going on.

        I really don’t have any hope you can uderstand what you are talking about
