Their priorities couldn't be clearer.
@rbreich And still the < $51k population who are hit the hardest keep voting for them? Can someone explain that to this European?
@alterelefant @rbreich
The news sources those people listen to only mention "largest tax cut in history" without ever breaking it down.
@bruce @rbreich Ah ok, they just don't do their work properly. Neither the media nor the voters do their homework.

@alterelefant @rbreich

The cult is so thoroughly brainwashed now, they don't believe the reliable sources anymore. They only listen to sources that parrot the MAGA party line.

@bruce @rbreich Their wallet will tell them the actual truth soon enough. Let's find out if they still ignore the facts when it really starts to hurt.
@alterelefant @bruce @rbreich I wish that were true but I don't I don't know that they will notice $1k/year. If they do notice having less money then they will blame democrats just because.
@bruce @alterelefant @rbreich reliable sources including their payslip.

@rbreich C’mon, Mr. Reich, let’s have some #AltText, please. Your messages are just as important for people with visual impairment:

“After-tax income under the Trump/GOP budget:

- People making less than $17/k year: LOSE $1000
-People making between $17k and $51k/yr: LOSE $700
- People making over $4.3M/year: GAIN $389,000

This is what class warfare looks like.”

@rbreich Stop using Substack, it's the Nazi bar of publishing platforms.

Start using accurate, fully descriptive alt text for every image you post so people with vision issues can know exactly what it is you're posting.

@rbreich And all of the programs that benefit everyone who isn't rich will be eliminated.

@rbreich

This isn’t a tax cut. It's a $24 trillion loan we’re taking out from the younger generation.

The people of my generation, who are wealthy, are asking young people to loan us $24 trillion. And we’re not going to pay it back in our lifetimes.

@rbreich Yep they want 1936 Germany but they'll probably get 1789 France.
@rbreich curious (as an outsider wondering how bad it is) what the bands between the $51k and $4.3m look like. And what additional pain the tariffs and other economic wrecking ball policies will have on people

@rbreich By continuing to use #Substack, the #nazi bar of #publishing platforms, your priorities couldn't be clearer.
