Awesome! The rich can invest in America, give more to the charities they trust, and build more housing for Americans.

Much better than giving that money to government. Where your taxes are destroying the Gaza Strip, sending hundreds of millions of dollars to the Taliban, giving billions to the Palestinians and Hamas so that they can buy more rockets to target innocent Israelis. Don't you feel proud that 20% of your paycheck is killing innocents and bombing hospitals and universities?

I think it's just precious how you misunderstand the Reagan trickle down economy model. We've been using that system for over four decades and it's just moved money upwards to the 1%.

But sure, complain about taxes going to kill people, but don't care about the lower classes in this country being destroyed by conservative policies. Good on ya.

People claim trickle down doesn't work. How do you know that? Homes are twice the sizes they were compared to 40 years ago. Cars have 10 times the numbers of features they had twenty years ago.

Thirty years ago, eating out was a luxury. Now people dine out multiple times a week.

A few months ago, millions of Americans traveled to witness a eclipse. This wasn't happening forty years ago.

I don't know how old you are but the middle class is in much better shape than they used to be, even after four years of Bidenflation.

Do you ever check anything you post for accuracy? Your meme is over generalizing the issue, which, given the stuff you post, is not surprising.

In May 2021, the Biden administration approved hiring 87,000 new Internal Revenue Service employees by 2031, but only a fraction are agents, and the majority are filling expected vacancies.

The U.S. Internal Revenue Service plans to hire nearly 20,000 new employees and deploy new technology over the next two years as it ramps up an $80 billion investment plan to improve tax enforcement and customer service, it said on Thursday .


You must be worried that they are gong to audit you.

and "government ruining everything?" That's another weird generalization. I am grateful for government oversight on clean water, clean air, police force, roads, bridges, etc. You get the idea.
