This headline SCREAMS 'conservative':

  • bad for people
  • bad for healthcare
  • generate tax cuts ... for the wealthy

You know the tax cuts are for the bottom 3 tax brackets, don't you?

No they aren't. The poor get SFA

[–] Amazinghorse@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That's a compelling argument 🤣

It's a fucking fact, the amount those tax cuts provide the poor is fuck all.

But they are providing tax cuts, aren't they?

You said they're providing tax cuts for the bottom 3 brackets when the reality is that that don't make a jot of difference for anyone but that rich. I don't take an issue with your assertion that that the tax cuts exist, i take exception to you implying that it especially targets the lowest brackets
