The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Trump's Murder Bill is full of goodies for wealthy folks like me and the MAGA base will pay heavily for it! (Some with their lives.)

Examples:
The bill makes the 2017 Trump tax cuts permanent, which were already skewed toward higher earners.
This move ensures that the top 20% of households, those making more than roughly $120,000, see an average annual income increase of about $5,700, or 2.2%,
while the lowest 20% see their incomes drop by about $700, or 2.9%. (Good looking out MAGA!)

The bill raises the cap on the state and local tax (SALT) deduction from $10,000 to $40,000, a provision that mainly benefits wealthy residents in high-tax states. (Thank you MAGA!)

The bill increases the estate tax exemption to $15 million, reducing taxes for wealthy heirs. (My heirs thank you!)

The bill makes permanent several major corporate tax breaks, including bonus depreciation and expanded deductions for business interest, which primarily benefit large businesses and their owners. (Yes Please!)

Trump’s bill delivers the largest gains to the wealthy by making previous tax cuts permanent, expanding deductions that primarily help high earners, and reducing corporate taxes,
all while cutting programs that support low-income MAGA Americans.

MAGA Voter: "I’ll miss my local hospital and my ability to pay for insulin, But at least I know that migrants are in a jail that is surrounded by pythons and alligators!"
