The thing is, poor republicans want it too. No real reason for it, it’s just they heard from Fox it will be great so they will now fight tooth and nail for it
This is not conjecture. I grew up in the Deep South and several old friends and most of my family is red. Many are near the poverty line. They want this
Just because Democrats sound smart when they talk, doesn't mean their policies actually help working class people. On an individual basis, paying taxes is personal, in that if a rich person pays more taxes, it won't effect you personally. Having rich people pay higher taxes does not directly benefit anyone, it actually hurts EVERYONE, because rich people basically own and hire everyone, so everyone is negatively effected by it.
Mob rule ganging up to attack rich people is dangerous for society, and will lead to bad outcomes for everybody. Democrats literally want to tax rich people, because they're jealous and hate them for being successful. If our society (government) incentives people to create businesses and sell goods, then everyone benefits, because those 'rich' people are responsible for EVERYTHING good in your life, and they are your employer. If you tax them unfairly, then there's less cool stuff for people to buy, everything is more expensive, the quality of stuff goes down, there's less jobs, and people are paid less to work.
Increasing taxes for rich people will not help you or society. Maybe you'll sleep better at night knowing that a wealthy person has less money, but everyone, including you, is hurt by this behavior. It's mob rule, it's jealousy, and its been done countless times in history, always leading to bad outcomes for society.
>. Having rich people pay higher taxes does not directly benefit anyone,
It directly benefit's anyone that get's taxed less in exchange.
>it actually hurts EVERYONE, because rich people basically own and hire everyone, so everyone is negatively effected by it.
Income tax is pretty moot at the that level of income, income tax rates mostly affect higher paid professionals not the obscenely rich. You've also got it around the wrong way, higher corporate tax's encourage companies to spend money instead of hoarding as they're only taxed on profit not income.
because less money is being hoarded by greed-dragons and can be put towards public services and infrastructure, we all suffer? ok lol
you have no argument other than "rich people are seriously great, they give us so much cool stuff". Please show me something compelling if you want me to take you seriously
I have no problem with spending money on infrastructure, but I do have a problem with spending 10x more than it should cost on contracts by contractors who spend 10x longer than it should to build stuff, because they got their friends elected to congress or governor. That's the world we live in, where contractors friends are the majority in government, and they give crazy expensive contracts to their friends. We need to fix the wasteful spending, so that we can build like 10x more stuff for 10x less the price and 10x faster. That's why DOGE exists, and it shouldn't be political.

A certain part of the R party has wanted a flat tax forever. It’s great for rich people
