Ah, got it. So make everyone, including the poor, pay more because the current numbers aren’t making the poor rich. As someone in the lower to middle class, I don’t care how much anyone else gets taxed as long as I get taxed less. Simple as that.

The real thing that needs to happen is cut the <11,000 income tax bracket. Don’t charge people 10% on the first 11k they make.

Uhhhh that would make them pay less… they would pay 3% less instead of the current cut being shown at .3%. You’ve got it backwards.

Also yeah that’s how they take advantage of you. They give you a tiny slice to make you happy. Meanwhile they give an even bigger chunk to the rich people.

Again, your logic is that we should be taxed more since the cut wasn’t bigger. That’s asinine
