They want it to seem perfectly normal for the oligarchs in control of the government to openly steal from the rest of us. They make their own rules so they get lucrative tax breaks while the non-rich get nothing but an increase in the debt of 3.5T on all of us; plus, eliminating our health care.

On top of already regressive tax from Krasnov tariffs.

It’s a big beautiful bill for oligarchs and a big shit sandwich for everyone else. We should call it “The Big Shit Sandwich” every time they call ot a big beautiful bill.
