I had a video discussing this topic pop up on my feed and wanted to check it out for myself. Did anyone who voted for Trump know about his tax plan for the average American? Note that this won’t go into effect until 2026 round of taxes. Just curious as to what the justification is. I genuinely would like to hear from people who voted from him because I can’t wrap my brain around it. Verified by itep.org .

Republicans have been doing this for 40 years. Apparently this is what people want.
That makes no sense…..
Just curious, are there ever any posts on here criticizing leftists and praising conservatives for anything or nahhh because this is Reddit and that shits overrated.
Enough of you idiots voted for him, not enough of you voted against him. You get what you deserve, now live with it❤️. Best regards from a Norwegian…
You did this republicans
The justification is that these poor, stupid republicans think that one day they’ll somehow be rich and that they’re just one major (statistically improbable) break away from making it big!
I know so many of these people – they’re not bad people – they’re delusional, largely lower middle (working) class, they lack higher education, experience, and the connections and intellectual resources required to make it out of their situation, but they’re so goddamn sure they’re just like the ultra wealthy, minus the wealth part.
It’s sad. It makes me sad. They hurt themselves over and over again, in an endless cycle of thinking they understand how the world around them works, when, in reality, they fundamentally do not.
People who voted for Trump cannot think at such a level. They simply do not care.
Ok…but what about the price of eggs?
What you’re saying is the TCJA DID cut taxes for the middle class? Sounds like we should extend it.
His cult will somehow blame Biden.
It’s ironic that as the wealthy continue to entrench themselves, they edge closer to an inevitable tipping point—a moment when the poor and working class push back. It’s like a moth drawn to a flame, and we’re beginning to see cracks in public sentiment toward the ruling class.
The version of the French Revolution is starting to take place.
Isn’t this always the case tho cause if bernie sanders won in 2020 for his policies to take place also he had to heavily tax the middle class?
I ain’t defending trump but middle class has always been the punching bag
Post this to r/conservative and see what happens.
Well, at least he’s not pretending to be a man of the people anymore. I wonder if the additional taxes will kick in immediately after the 2026 election.
He built a cult and now he’s gonna screw em. Not only is he gonna raise their taxes to reduce his own but he’s gonna raise tariffs, too, which will tax everything they buy on top of it.
This is hilarious. I hope they really do go after Social Security during his term in office. I want to see all the boomers lose their shit as their savior betrays them on every possible level to save a nickel on his taxes.
Why is everyone blaming Trump?
It isn’t like the Democrats would have changed anything.
Trump is also going to cut the budget. (supposedly anyway)
The real problem isn’t restricted to taxes, but to the deficit.
The Oligarchy is buying up the bonds and the “rest of us” will have to pay off the interest. (Let us not get into an argument about now pensions and retirement own most of those bonds, it just means a retiree is going to have to pay off the interest on bonds his fund owns. It is kind of a Ponzi scheme.)
One can look at this in many different ways and if you let certain details into the argument, you lose site of the fraud.
The MSM will offer you up a “bait and switch” argument.
There is a concentrated effort to entangle the US into a new “neo-feudalism”. I just discovered there is an r/neofeudalism but their description of what they are pursuing is very different from what I’m trying to explain. It is an interesting sub and I’m looking forward to examining what they mean.
They suggest that serfdom wasn’t such a bad thing. So they sound like they’ll fit into the “You will own nothing and you will be happy” crowd. I can imagine such an economic system but I would have to call it “socialist”, which they will violently disagree with. I’m trying to say that the label is perhaps being misused much like the label “liberal” which, for me, has become nearly worthless since one has to specify “social liberal” from “economic liberal” and given that “Listen Liberal” book by Thomas Frank, he wasn’t talking to the “oligarchy” which is what many people mean when they say “liberal” because it is so tightly connected with “property”
[This paper examines the conundrum but it too has an agenda that just confuses things.](https://law.niviiro.com/theories-of-property-liberal-and-marxian)
OK, do you want to be a neo-serf? (which I contend is what feudalism was all about which is very contrary to r/neofeudalism)
Republicans -and- Democrats represent the Oligarchy which wants, above all else, to maintain their position of wealth and privilege.
I’m not at all saying I support Trump’s tax plan, but that it isn’t like electing Harris would have made much difference. So, why all the whining about Trump?
This is basically the same as his last “tax cut”.
Awesome here we go again
But it’s all good because my tips and overtime won’t be taxed /s
when you tax corporations that tax gets passed on to the consumer in the form of higher prices. So hiking corporate taxes is the same as taxing everyone. Taxing wealthy individuals also does not work because very wealthy people don’t need to even pay themselves. They just borrow for living expenses and live tax free. They would only pay themselves once every couple years to pay off debts, and then thats usually cap gains rather than income, which is already smaller.
Most people don’t understand what happens when you reach the wealthy end in the tax system. It is flawed, and the real goal is to dismantle it altogether. I don’t agree with raising taxes on those who already barely scrape by.
