Can someone check my math? I’m estimating Trumps first term tax cuts saved the top 1% at least $100b durning his first term. Trump is complaining about less than $9m being spent here. $9m is 0.009% of $100b. Did I get that all right?
But you aren’t a conservative. If you ever argued with one about this it will boil down to: taxes are theft, the rich are entitled to those tax cuts.
but of course; the poor are not.
The only right they understand is might. Like a pinata it only trickles down after beating it with a stick.
I would argue they don't understand it, they just need to respond to it. they would be better at war if they did. they are beyond 'understanding'.
