    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?

      It is closer to $2.5. trillion.

      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.

        taxes are theft, the rich are entitled to those tax cuts. and it’s much easier to steal from poor and/or uneducated people.

        Fixed it for you.

          I’m not a conservative. Just in case it wasn’t clear. I believe taxes are a bandaid, a stop gap that let’s the rich get away with too much, when we should instead seize the means of wealth generation.

            Sorry if there was any confusion. I meant for my post to be clarifying and entertaining.

            I didn’t not intend to accuse you of support or dissent of anything.
