"The effective tax rate for the U.S. population as a whole is about 30 percent, and for people with the top salaries, it's about 45 percent.

But for the 100 wealthiest Americans, it's 22 percent, according to a study published Monday by the National Bureau of Economic Research."

"The centerpiece of the 2017 Trump tax cuts was the reduction of the corporate tax rate from 35 to 21 percent, a change that made a big difference for the billionaire class.

"Out of the top 400's effective tax rate of 23.8 percent, about 9 points comes from the corporate tax," Zucman and his coauthors found."

No one could have predicted that the Billionaire President would cut the most taxes for himself and his Campaign donors!

MAGA is shocked I tells ya... shocked!!

It's almost like Billionaires bought them a White House and a Yuge Tax Cut... at the expense of everyone else.

Where are all the Trumpers to defend this?

*4 hours later...*

Still no Trumpers want to defend this.

They may be busy practicing clutching their purses and their pearls at the same time.

This is not easy when also covering their eyes and ears... if not their mouth, and hopping around on one foot.

Aw, well.

The Thread That Frightened All the Rwingers Away.

Sad.

I never knew rwingers were such COWARDS!

Why aren't they here defending Trump's Tax Cuts for Billionaires?

Ah, so.... people voting against their own economic interests so's they can own themselves a lib?

Makes sense to rwingers, I s'pose.

But then, everything Trump told them about cat-eating criminal immigrants and how his Big Beautiful Bill would benefit them, and almost everything else he claimed turned out to be lies.

Imagine that.

Instead of ending the war in Ukraine, he's enabled it. Rather than making America great again, he's made her a hostage to billionaires and his own personal National Guard and ICE Brownshirts.

Not to mention the worst Cabinet in history, and being the First Pedo President.
