It’s too bad taxes are such a thorny issue. Can’t there be agreement that taxation is a necessity, and then the people we elect work out some fair and equitable tax structure so there is money in the coffers to fix roads and improve infrastructure, take care of people who need help, and encourage research?
Where’s the money gonna come from otherwise, or do certain government services just go away because Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy have been given an assignment to “cut waste”? Because there’s no funding anymore, and because the rich are the ones getting the tax breaks while the rest of us end up shouldering the resulting burdens or going without?
Is this just pure power play and selfishness manifesting themselves, or is there something we’re missing here?
Trump tapped into the frustration of the working class, but only as a campaign pitch. In reality, he looks to do little, if anything, to help them. So, somehow, Democrats have to hold the line and keep Trump and the misfits around him from blowing everything up and turning the country into a playground for the rich and morally bereft.
