athos77,

So, anyone who's not in the 1%? Because that's that it feels like.

Bipta,

Because that's how it is.

“Numbers showing a healthy economy” i.e. bullshit metrics that investors care about.

Newsflash brought to you by “news”

nondescripthandle,

When Trump was president most of us agreed that ‘The Economy’, especially how we measure it, is not an accurate representation of the financial status or strain of actual people. Theres somehow more pushback on that idea now.

GiddyGap,

Yeah, Republicans are pushing back hard because a good economy is bad for Trump.

underwire212,

Yeah, the economy is going great for the top few. That’s what’s meant by “The Economy”. Always has been.

thought we already were in a recession and spending more because of inflation does not mean a healthy economy either

We are they just refuse to say so because it’s an election year. Wait until after November then they tell you truth or not. Just wait until all fucking straving and in the streets. Fuck Biden and fuck Trump both are responsible for this fucking mess.

Which permanent tax cuts did Biden give to the rich?

disguy_ovahea,

Right. Biden’s tax plan doesn’t even go into effect until 2025, after Trump’s tax reductions for the wealthy and corporations expire. Low and middle class cuts expired in 2022. Thanks Trump.

partial_accumen,

after Trump’s tax reductions for the wealthy and corporations expire

The Trump tax cuts for corporations NEVER expire:

“The centerpiece of the law was a deep, permanent cut in the corporate tax rate — from 35 percent to 21 percent — and a shift toward a territorial tax system, which exempts certain foreign income of multinational corporations from tax. 20 percent deduction for pass-through income.” source

disguy_ovahea,

You are correct. Only the tax cuts for the wealthy expire in 2025. I wrote that incorrectly.

Biden’s new corporate tax is 28%, with a 15% minimum after deduction, and a 21% minimum on billion dollar corporations.

Wes4Humanity,

This is such a good example of the ratchet effect… Trump lowers tax from 35% to 21%, then Biden comes in and only brings it up to 28% solidifying that 21% as a minimum for big corps… Ratchet right, hold there until the next Republican lowers it more

Corporations should pay the whole bill for a functioning society every quarter… The people should get to decide what a functioning society entails… I don’t care of it’s 1% or 99% of corporate profits, or if it changes every quarter… No exceptions for parking your company in another country, you want to sell your shit in the US, you pay the bill

disguy_ovahea,

It’s 28%, with a 21% minimum. Most corporations deduct far lower. It will generate more revenue from corporations than Obama’s tax system according to the IRS.

Bipta,

I'm not happy with Biden, but to have the exact same words to say about Biden and Trump is some enlightened centrist shit.

Having poor people stay poor is great for shareholders and has no consequences as decided by our independent contractors in Congress.
