“Some Democrats eyeing runs for the White House have rolled out a provocative new economic policy: massive tax cuts for the working and middle classes — and big hikes for the wealthy,” Axios reports.

“Republicans may lose the midterm elections because of voters’ anger over high prices, but Democrats are still struggling to figure out how to address voters’ concerns about inflation.”

“The proposals by Democratic presidential hopefuls include eliminating federal income taxes for half of all U.S. workers, making the first $75,000 of income earned by married couples tax-free, and enacting a variety of state-based tax cuts and credits.”

There are decades of obscene tax cuts for the rich that NEVER seem to get repealed

These aren't the 90s. Copying the GOP's popular gaslighting on "tax cuts for the little guy" just won't do it.

People aren't as angry about the taxes they pay as they are with how the money's being spent.

to restore health care and food assistance taken away in Krasnov’s BBB. That would help those who are struggling the most with costs.

Tax the rich … if they leave the country good riddance. Pass a law that corporations are not people and limit campaign contributions. Term limits on elected office. A platform based on compassion and empathy. There are endless possibilities if they take off their career politician hats off and actually serve the people.
