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?
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.
True, and very sad when you consider that there is ample time and space to clarify, apologize, edit, or just walk away in the case of a miscommunication. We weren’t on the same page, and a little chat took care of that.

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.
Fixed it for you.

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.
No problem, communication online can sometimes be confusing.

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.
Yup.
