We need to amplify Republican's deceit, their plan to further cut taxes will be so costly, that the social safety net will be eliminated:
"Within this new document from the Congressional Budget Office, you can see that Trump’s current plan to extend every expiring tax break in his 2017 tax law would cost $4.6 trillion — with trillions of that going exclusively to very wealthy households."
-Bharat Ramamurti
About 125,000 notices will be sent to high-income earners, including 25,000 people with income more than $1 million, the tax agency said. Maybe we should eat the rich before the price per pound exceeds that of ground beef.
Absorb this graph—but note that the final year is 2018, the year of Trump’s tax cuts. That’s #Trump’s big goal, always has been: to rip off working people and hand huge bags of cash to the ultra-wealthy, like himself and his Mar-a-Lago buddies.
Rutger Bregman:
Stunning graph: the plummeting tax rates of the richest Americans. For the first time in history, billionaires have a lower effective tax rate than working-class Americans.
A new analysis reveals how beginning in 2018, American #billionaires began paying a lower tax rate than the working class. We can thank #Trump's giant tax scam, and decades of #Republican policy catering to the ultra-rich.
"A coordinated minimum tax on the super-rich will not fix capitalism. But it is a necessary first step."
Voting Republicans out of office is necessary, too.
