That Big Beautiful Bill for Billionaires

The Senate is coming out with many more cuts to the poor and working class.

I just looked at the no tax on tips and overtime provision. Just one of the giveaways for the rich.

The Senate Bill allows $25,000 deductions each for both tips and overtime.

Households making less than $33,000 / year, only 1.4% qualify for any tax break on tips and for that 1.4% their average tax cut would be $450.00 per year.

Where the fuck are Democrats shouting about this? Do fucking town halls like MSNBC did for the fired federal workers. Have actual people in the audience tell their stories. Have Democrats explain that the tax breaks on tips and overtime are going to benefit the rich.

Democrats let Magats control the narrative. Fucking come out and tell the American people that those tax breaks are meant for the rich.

The Senate bill is much more cruel than the House Bill, if that was possible.

Don't berate me with the fact that Democrats are in the minority, instead of wasting time on impeaching Krasnov, get out and do town halls that address specific parts of the Big Ugly Death Bill. Disappointed in Schumer and Jeffries.

Time Matters. Congressional Magats are fighting right now to see who can fuck the poor and working class people the most. Democrats, use this time to tell the American people what they are arguing over.
