MAGA! Making Aristocracy Great Again!

Wealthy gain, low-income people lose from GOP megabill, analysis finds...

"Tax cuts in House Republicans’ megabill would lead to increased assets for the richest Americans, while reducing them for the lowest-income households
through cuts to federal spending on Medicaid and food aid, according to analysis from the Congressional Budget Office."

"This is what Republicans are fighting for — lining the pockets of their billionaire donors while children go hungry and families get kicked off their health care."

"The analysis found that household resources would fall by about 4% for the lowest-income 10% of households by 2033.
That’s largely due to changes to Medicaid and SNAP policy...
But the top 10% of households would see their household resources rise 4 percent by 2027, mainly because of reductions in the taxes they owe."

More money for us wealthy folks! (Thank You MAGA.)
Less money for the low-income MAGAs...
(Fox News will have them cheering their own suffering! Enter Dope in 3...2...1...)

It's not even a feature.

It's the damned plan.

Like Christianity but in reverse...
The wealthy gain, low-income people lose from GOP bill, analysis finds...

Trumps bill would RAISE taxes on low-income Americans,
while the biggest savings go to people in the $500k to $1 million income group.
And trillions will be added to the national debt.

Trumps bill is little more than an elaborate wealth transfer scheme where the labor & assets of the lowest income Americans (MAGA)
are being stolen & gifted to the nation's economic elite.
This combined with the tariffs (regressive taxes) and things are gonna get much tougher for low income Americans. (MAGA)

Dope argues why he should, pay more in 3..2..1..

"Trumps Bill is the largest redistribution from poor to rich in a single bill in American history.
It's a play in three regressive parts:

1. Tax cuts for the rich.
2. Spending cuts on the poor.
3. Tariffs that hit low-income folks hardest.

Budget math isn't about arithmetic. Budgets are statements of values, and behind every number is a choice about who and what we value.
So as you evaluate the Republican budget bill, ask yourself: Does it give voice to your values?" ~Econ Professor, Justin Wolfers

That's MAGA Christianity, the version that is growing in the US.

I think Jesus would recognize it, and speak out about it, and they'd kill him all over again.

Yeah, overturning tables on Capitol Hill wouldn't go over well. :-)

As an aside, if you take all the writings together (i.e. don't cherry pick), he was a bit of a loon. He clearly thought Judgment would occur in his lifetime (hence the "think not for the morrow and follow me"). He cursed a fig(?) tree that wouldn't bear fruit out of season. He would say "love thy neighbor", and then in the next breath (figuratively) he said he came to set neighbor upon neighbor, and children against their parents, etc.**

Rather than killing him, the Felon might make him Secretary of State.



**People used to quote the stuff from the Sermon on the Mount; but I read a few months ago that preachers who quoted those were getting complaints from their "flock" that the preachers were being too "liberal". Made me smile (wryly).
