Are you saying that extending that Trump tax cuts is not a tax cut, because it's only extending and maintaining the status quo? Or are you saying the Trump tax

Are you saying that extending that Trump tax cuts is not a tax cut, because it's only extending and maintaining the status quo?
Or are you saying the Trump tax cuts never benefited the wealthy at all?
- WalterBright 1y ago> Are you saying that extending that Trump tax cuts is not a tax cut? Of course. It's disingenuous to claim that not raising taxes is a "cut". It's the same lie as claiming a reduction in a spending increase is a "budget cut". There are actual tax cuts in Trump's bill, but they don't apply to the wealthy.
- ac29 1y agoThey cut taxes for the years 2026 and later. The TCJA tax cuts expire this year.
- Buttons840 1y agoCan we agree that the taxes on the wealthy would be higher if the BBB was not passed? It's not a "cut", it's just that the BBB makes taxes lower for the wealthy than they would have been without the BBB <eyeroll>.
- WalterBright 1y agoThe BBB repealed the tax increase, yes. That's not a cut, because the increase didn't happen.
- Buttons840 1y agoSo we agree that Republicans did things that resulted in the rich paying less taxes than they would have otherwise.
