Donald Trump's Tax Plan: Trump Voters Lost Bigly.
Donald Trump’s newly released tax plan is a complete betrayal of his campaign promises.
The moment we’ve all been waiting for is finally here: Donald Trump’s tax plan has been released, and it’s as disastrous as expected.
Gone are the days of speculation, of wondering whether or not he’d honor his promises. Now, we have the cold, hard truth in black and white: not a single promise he made on the campaign trail is reflected in his tax plan. Every word he said, every empty assurance he uttered was nothing but a cruel lie aimed at manipulating his base.
Let’s start with the most blatant betrayal of them all. Trump promised no tax on overtime. Well, guess what? It’s not in the plan. What about no tax on tips, the one issue that affects countless workers in the service industry? Nope, that's absent as well. And don’t forget his promise to exempt Social Security from taxation. That’s right—another broken vow. These were all bold claims meant to excite the working class, and yet, they were never anything but a figment of Trump’s fraudulent rhetoric.
And let’s talk about his most fervent supporters, the ones who parroted his lies with blind faith, convinced that Trump would deliver the riches he promised. In reality, he’s drained the life out of their livelihoods.
He’s pulled the rug out from under hardworking farmers who, despite his false promises of financial salvation, have been left hanging and broke. His freeze on federal funding has wreaked havoc on farmers who had contracts with the government, contracts they were depending on to keep their farms afloat.
Take Michael Protas, for example. A dedicated farmer from western Maryland, who’s run One Acre Farm for 15 years. Protas invested $100,000 in solar panels, with the expectation of a federal grant covering half of the cost. But thanks to Trump’s incompetence and utter disregard for the working class, that grant has never arrived. Protas and others like him are left without compensation for their work, and their livelihoods are at risk—all because of a government run by a man who has repeatedly shown he doesn’t give a damn about them.
But wait, there's more. Trump's proposed budget calls for a staggering $4.5 trillion in tax cuts. You’d think that sounds great, right? Wrong.
The vast majority of these cuts will go straight to the ultra-wealthy, the one percent who don’t need a dime more. Meanwhile, food assistance programs get a $230 billion slash at a time when grocery prices are at record highs. Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act? Don’t worry, Trump’s got you covered with cuts to the tune of $880 billion. This is an all-out assault on the most vulnerable, and it’s happening under the watch of a man who doesn’t even pretend to care.
Despite all this, Trump’s loyal supporters continue to believe he’ll come through for them. It’s almost laughable at this point, isn’t it?
Remember when they said he’d deliver an infrastructure package? Oh wait—he didn’t.
How about when they said he’d fix healthcare? He didn’t do that either.
And what about that beautiful wall he promised? Still waiting on that one, aren’t we?
He lied then, and he’s lying now. Trump’s tax cuts are nothing more than a handout to the rich, while working families continue to struggle. His base? Left in the dust once again.
What’s even more frustrating is the legacy media's refusal to acknowledge the gravity of these issues. Trump’s budget and tax plan are devastating, and yet, the legacy media is largely ignoring or downplaying the consequences.
This is why independent journalism has never been more important. The truth is out there, and it’s up to us to make sure it’s heard. That’s why I’m here—committed to telling the truth, with no corporate sponsors or lobbyists pulling the strings.
We need to hold these people accountable. We need to push back against the lies, the manipulation, and the corruption that has taken over our government.
Together, we can keep the media honest and fight back against the lies that have been fed to us for far too long—from the legacy media to Congress.
I want Kamala back.
I'm sick to death hearing democrats and mainstream media say we are on the verge of a constitutional crisis.
We are in the throws of a complete government takeover by a bunch of Nazi sympathizers who do not care about anyone but their own agenda.
A kangaroo cabinet is stitched together. Our democratic leaders talk about spineless republicans. Hakeem gets up in front of us and wrings his hands telling us we have no options other than the courts.
Where is OUR leader? The one with the spine? Millions are looking for a fearless leader to save our America.
It's obvious what's happening. Who will be our hero to take back our government. Remove Drumpf and his cabinet from office for endangering the American people and ignoring the rule of law.
Deport Elon and hold him in Guantanamo like the other migrants.
Return us to OUR CONSTITUTION. It belongs to us.
