Who would have thought he would do the same thing he did in his first term again?

    Less than half of the voters, apparently.

    Something tells me most of his voters have no idea what he did last time

    Don't forget deport immigrants (arguably increasing food costs). BIL sent me an article about 400+ illegals getting deported Tuesday night or something. Weird, I thought there were hundreds of thousands of them. They could only get that many? "The majority were criminals" Aight, cool. Keep those resources going and start processing the years and years of rape kits left waiting for testing. Start getting those citizens too, champ. Or are we only after the brown criminals? Hmm....

    This is nothing, wait until the Trump tariffs kick in and everything gets more expensive.

    Can't wait for shitty plyboard furniture to be marked up 489% because we got to import them from China/Vietnam or other SE countries.

    Like seriously, what even gets made in the US that is reasonably affordable and is of a decent quality.

    Nobody in the US knows how marginal rates and progressive tax brackets work, you can sell the fools on anything and just blame the IRS because it’s the most convenient incarnation of what people hate.

    I mean even this post got it wrong, your taxes go up until about $1 mil, not $300k.

    But the cuts could start benefiting you at the $300k bracket relative to before. What's the actual change?

    Because the way marginal taxation works if you make 300k you paid all those extra brackets tax hikes before you got to 300k and started seeing the lower marginal rate.

    So to see your impact you add every changed number from the left up to your income, that’s your impact.

    Yes it takes a positive turn at 300k, but you’re already deep in the whole and don’t turn to actually positive until around the final bracket.

    They raise taxes on the middle class to make people hate taxes so they vote for smaller government.

    They’ve been doing it since the 80s. God how I wish our politics weren’t in a death spiral. It’s so boring.

    This is just peak brainworm. What does someone making nearly a million dollars a year even do with an extra 7k?? Make their scroodge McDuck vault a little deeper? Doesn't matter how deep it is, you still can't dive into it like a pool. Idiots.

    I don't think I can afford to prop up the wealthy any more than I already am doing now. Guess I'll need to get a fourth job to help pay off Musk and company tax relief.

    LOL Bush Jr did the same thing as did the previous Republican president. This is par for the course.

    Is there a source on this? Not that I don't believe it, I'm sure this is exactly what's going to happen, but if I bring it up in conversation saying "I saw it in a meme" will deflate the argument.

    Is this from the extention of last tax cuts that are still active but set to expire unless renewed? Or a new proposal on top of that policy?

    The last two times I’ve been to Costco they’ve been out of eggs. One of these days I’m expecting the Cash & Carry to be out of eggs too. Then the Rosaures, the Safeway, and the mini mart too. Just think of the savings in not buying any eggs at all!

    Even if we're just talking eggs, they're up about $1.50 per dozen in my area and Der Blöderfürher has only been in office three days.
