The House Republicans’ budget plan would give major tax cuts to high-income, wealthy households. Extending the expiring individual income and estate tax provisions for households with incomes in the top 5 percent of the income distribution (households with incomes over $321,000) costs around $1.8 trillion through 2034, accounting for 49 percent of the total $3.6 trillion cost of extension through 2034. That $1.8 trillion for wealthy and high-income households is close to the amount of the spending cuts House Republicans have outlined — including at least $880 billion primarily from Medicaid, $230 billion primarily from SNAP benefits, and $330 billion primarily from making student loans more expensive. Of the tax cuts for wealthy households, nearly $200 billion is for an estate tax giveaway that showers some $6 million per estate on the 1 in 1,000 wealthiest estates. In contrast, the average SNAP benefit is $6.20 per person per day, which helps struggling families put food on the table.
Reverse Robin Hood. Stealing from the millions of poor to give to the few rich. Sickening.
It doesn’t matter how much you tell republicans this shit. I don’t get it. I tell my republican friends I tell my wife I can show it to them And they will still just act like it’s nothing like i’m just Complaining…
Is your wife a Republican? Bummer dude…
Married 10 years of political hell
I understand that this is something very hard to do to your wife of ten years, but if you don’t treat republicans like they deserve to be treated, then you can’t say much about all the democrats in the government who just let the republicans do what they want. I’m not an American, but you need to fight this as a people.
Cut ties with republicans to show them that if they don’t treat people as humans, they don’t deserve the social aspects of human behaviour
Lol k thanks for the life advice.
Haha, they think because they vote for Republicans that they’re in the club, too. Republicans in power don’t give a shit about republican voters beyond getting their votes.
Edit: Wow, seriously… I scrolled down one post to find this:
Trump voter shocked to get fired by DOGE: It’s ‘destroying people’s lives’
Some people are not capable of empathy. They cannot or will not put themselves in the shoes of others and imagine what it would be like to be without healthcare or be hungry.
Others are worse, they can imagine it, and they delight in the suffering of others.
Republicans are your enemies unless you’re filthy rich.
They are actively degrading your quality of life and the quality of life of everyone you love.
They are also your enemies if you have any decency or empathy. I used to be conservative but they are just such ignorant selfish assholes.
They’re your enemy if you’re filthy rich, too. Billionaires don’t win by making their neighbors want them dead, because they stole all their money only to promptly not spend any of it because they have no use for it.
No giving nazis credit unless they earn it.
This is what the American people wanted.
The American people are collectively dumb.
77 million / 155 million eligible voters.
this is what the ultra wealthy made them want. the lumpen’s desires are as manufactured as the hot cheeto dust caked upon their lips.
Why do you think so many people are afraid to have a conversation with a stranger, or pick up a phone call from an unknown number?
Organizing starts with one person talking to another. Websites only draw people who are already interested in what you have to say.
This is what the human race wanted.
The human race are collectively dumb.
Democracy: the worst form of government except for all the others.

Now, say it all together class:
FUCK.
THE.
OLIGARCHY.
Out in the open evil
On the plus side, if there is one, after this, they will never be able to say tax cuts for the rich benefit everyone because everyone except the rich is going to suffer massively. Trickle down my ass. The “job creators” now have no excuses to continue laying off staff.
Everyone paying the slightest bit of attention has known trickle down economics are a hoax since the 1980s. The problem is that almost half the people in the USA are ignorant supporters of fascism.
This is the stuff that gets me hard
