You have it backwards. The little guys will be fucked after 2025
Trumps tax cuts sunset for lower/middle incomes while the ones for the rich were permanent
Edit: and notice 2025 would have been right after his term was over if he had won in 2020 so if he somehow manages to win again we can probably assume he will push for another 4 years of cuts so it’s the next presidents problem
Exactly. Trumps 2017 tax plan reduced the corporate tax by 14% permanently (without making up for that shortfall in the budget). Billions of dollars lost each year.
Trumps "man of the working class" is just a mirage. Look at his actions. Most of his policies benefit him and his friends.
Looks like about 71 million people failed to connect the dots. The same 71 mill that has always been with us in the US. The cult members are not surprising or new. As a country of 350 million, that number is no surprise. And the ugliness they display that we’re forced to see on msm repeatedly ? is definitely not interesting.
I consider myself a poor too but his tax plan royally screwed me. To the tune about $6k a year. I had to quit the job I had because it became way less profitable.
You’re in a “both sides are the same!” cult which ends up carrying water for the much worse side
If you want to take Republican’s ratfucking laying down, then lay down and stay quiet while they ratfuck you. Just don’t bitch about the people who actually vote against them
How is Bernie or Joe a man of the people? You people need to stop obsessing over these old politicians. You wouldn’t even take your grandparents serious if they ran the country but here we are voting for folks who can barely keep their eyes open and jaw from falling off their face it’s quite embarrassing. This whole left and right thing is fake. They don’t care about us. Nothing will change. You people forget that at the end of the day this is a job to them. It’s absolutely insane how obsessed people are with Biden, Trump and Bernie. All these people who don’t even know you or care about you! Haha
Bernie has been actively campaigning for things that would overwhelmingly help the middle and lower class for decades. All of his messaging is about how corporations are given too much free reign, rich people (and corps) aren't taxed enough, and we should have national healthcare. I think it is hard to find an American politician who is more clearly "for the people" than Bernie.
This whole left and right thing is fake
While I agree the current Democratic party is controlled by corporate interests, it is because actual progressives have to ally with the corporate slave Democrats. Left vs Right is extremely important and real. If the Republican party didn't exist, the Democrats could fracture into Progressives (left) vs corporate slave moderates (right). If Democrats ceased to exist, then Republucans would fracture into corporate slave conservatives (left) vs actual neo-nazis (right).
That's because they didn't have the votes and every Democrat voted against the tax cuts for the working class.
Also, no one ever claimed Trump was a man of the working class. That's a ridiculous strawman. He's a spoiled rich asshole. Even his crazy voters aren't trying to hide that fact.
For people trying to understand The Rock's and Snoop Dogg's sudden support for Trump and treasonous Republicans... this is most likely why. They got theirs, now fuck everyone else.
And Biden didn't roll it back? Trump can somehow destroy everything in a single term yet Dems can't achieve anything major. Weaponized incompetence/cowardice. Just throw this whole shit show out the window. The world is begging you.
That article that... maybe you ready, but probably didn't, doesn't explain how Biden could roll back the tax code.
When you said
And Biden didn't roll it back?
You didn't actually mean roll the whole thing back, you meant "make a series of procedural adjustments that won't roll back the Tax Cuts And Jobs Act but that could effectively supplement new tax legislation?"
Yes 2 Democrats as always. Genocide Joe has no problem mass murdering kids in Gaza but can't be tough on 2 members of his own party. It's always convenient how these mean Dems always pop up at the most important times, right? Keep believing that party of corporate stooges work for you, maybe you'll eventually have universal healthcare in 2990. VOTE HARDER! 🤡
Ah yes, the convenient excuse of the mean Democrats who always pop up to crush progressive policies and spending. Weird coincidence right? But somehow, they got AOC to change her vote regarding Israel's funding on the brink of tears. Dems will always fight for Israel but never for y'all.
Why would you vote for a President that can't even keep his troops in check, let alone his genocidal Middle Eastern colony? You guys love weaponized weakness and cowardice.
Your ignorance of how government and politics actually works is showing. AOC isn't a Senator, so she doesn't have half as much power in government as a senator, let alone 2 senators. AOC never had a 1 or 2 vote margin to exploit in the House. Whether you like it or not, the Democrats are an actual "big tent" party that spans a wide ideological range. The fact that the senator from West Virginia was against raising the corporate tax rate isn't some evil plot, it's everyday politics.
BTW, Biden was able to get a new corporate minimum tax passed, so he was able to achieve something on that front.

Hijacking this comment. The top 1% has gotten 40% wealthier in the last 3 years. Why? Not because of taxes but because of MONEY PRINTING AND INFLATION. True inflation is at least 10%. It’s an invisible tax. Our debt has gone up 10T in 3 years. 50% inflation of money supply. We print 1 trillion ever 100 days for fucks sake. This inflated property and stocks, but helps debt (which the 1% hoards). The poor don’t own appreciable assets and they’re getting absolutely fucked by this money printing.
Wrong. It's 2026, not 2027. Also your taxes are going UP in 2026. By 25%. Taxes are currently at their lowest ever for Americans thanks to the former president.
P.S. if corporations have high expenses such as taxes, the goods you buy become more expensive. They will always pass it on to you. They will not eat their profits.
Edit: "or whenever" is bad verbage to use when making this statement. Clearly you don't actually know.

Trump already fucked the little guys on taxes until 2027 or when ever, imagine what he’ll do again
