It’s simple! Tax the ultra rich. They won’t even notice it! How much money do these people need? It’s a political ploy to pacify the rich so they will continue supporting Mr Orange Man

One thing you can count on from Trump is the lying. He does not intend to allow any tax increase on his own wealth or income. On the contrary, he is getting fatter (OMG), than ever at the public trough. This now includes opaque channels to accept money clandestinely from foreign countries and foreign businesses. This is history’s most corrupt U.S. government administration. I am just waiting for Republicans with integrity to stand up and say something to stop this madness. I will not be holding my breath.

Republicans with integrity You Say? I'm not sure I've ever witnessed such a thing. Certainly not in reference to the Wealthy Exploiters Paying "ANY" Taxes, let alone assisting or providing help to the Average Citizen to prosper. That whole Honesty, Integrity, and Truth to Power Thingy was declared to be a Loyalty test of Wokeness for The GOP during the first Trump Crime Spree! It has long gone the Way of Decency and Manners throughout the Party. Any hint of ethical or honorable conduct will be dealt with swiftly and without reprieve from MAGA LOYALISTS and T-Dumpty Sycophants! Your either ALL IN for His Majesty's Ego and GRIFT, or Cast into The abyss of rino Wokeness! Ye must comply by Public Display of Corruption and incompetence to prove your Loyalty to King Dipshit!

You sound like the only dipshit on this thread. I am a lifelong Democrat. How about spending your self-righteous diarrhea of the keyboard on actual Trumpies?

If you read and recognized my First opening question in its context, you would realize that I was attempting to express my disbelief in The Administration's League of Actors and the entire GOP's ability to express or display anything related to Truth and Honesty. My unabashed, liberal use of the term or moniker of "Woke, or Wokeness" was intended to show how juvenile, ridiculously simple, and effective Labels and Name calling are for the unsophisticated supporters of Cultural Hypocrites and the Hate filled Entitled, White, Right.

Perhaps this will clear things up in your misguided perceptions of my posted comments. Your Welcomed!

Your reply seemed to be more of a posted comment in general than a direct reply to my posted comment. My use of the term “Republicans with integrity” was revealed to be facetious by the ending sentence. “I will not be holding my breath”. So it seems that we both may have had misguided perceptions.

I took your comment as having an ounce of hope that today's GOP might find their Soul, and do Something. I have never entertained the notion, Ever! The very notion of The GOP curtailing to populism and The Common Working Man has Never entered my Mind. I equate the Idea as Ridiculous as The Mindless waiting on The Spinless

Tax the billionaires and don't make any cuts to Medicare, Medicaid or Social Security. Someone in The New York Times posted this: "Trump, a poor man’s idea of a rich man, appoints Elon, a dumb man’s idea of a smart man - and both of them are a fool’s idea of a successful businessman - neither has ever improved a company, only inherited or taken them over, and driven them into the ground."

If Dumbo's liver lips are moving, you can be sure that he's lying! It's time for all citizens of the U.S. with a functioning brain to get rid of the scumbags in D.C. and get a fresh start!

Mr Orange Man needs the support of the wealthy. He doesn’t give a rats ass abt the ordinary people. What do they have to offer him? Nothing. They (we) are completely disposable!!! An annoyance, actually. So tax the hell out of them.. take away all benefits.. strip them of everything, then most will die off and he’ll be left with billionaires.. preferably white males. AI can fill in the gaps.

I’m not sure there is much to say. He’s a phoney, a con, a bloated pig. He wouldn’t know truth if it punched him in the face. If you really look at it, take away the evil because of the weak pathetic amoebas who give him any power, he is truly irrelevant to the human race. When a world is better without you in it, your life is worthless and an abortion for the mother was in order. Especially in this case.

That's what Bill Gates is doing. He intends on giving away his billions before he dies. Most of the money is not going to his kids. They'll still be rich by anyone's standards, well maybe not by Skum's. Warren Buffet will leave even less personally to his kids. His kids also have their own personal foundations for various causes. Can anyone imagine POS and his kids having charities that don't benefit them? Answer: NO.

It’s insane to trust anything that comes out of his mouth. He’s so used to lying about even small stuff that it just comes naturally. He’s is a despicable, corrupt and evil conman. The statement that he’s willing to pay a tiny increase in taxes to help the working people is a ploy to ingratiate himself with his MAGA diehards. “Sure, I would pay more to help you but hey, the democrats!” Pure gold to his base. I suspect if that tiny increase in taxes were to make it into the bill (thereby lessening the burden on social programs) and pass in both houses he would veto it. He has no use for anyone not in his income bracket, has spent years gaming the tax laws and is now supporting and legislating (a responsibility of Congress not the prez) devastation on the middle and lower classes along with the most vulnerable people worldwide. Why? Because he doesn’t care and he thinks he can. And his base love him for it. To them he’s a cross between a victim and a martyr. They are laughing all the way to their own destruction just to “own the libs”. A cult by any other name is still a cult.

Tax the hell out of the millionaires. And tax billionaires such that there aren't any billionaires anymore. No one needs that much while others starve.

Let’s make sure we all put the blame where it belongs…The Republican Party are the ones who are charge of our govt. if the Billionaires get Millions of tax cuts it won’t be the Convicted Felon’s fault…it will be the REPUBLICAN PARTY’S fault as THEY are the ones voting for this.

Remember people, they hold the majority…the people who voted for the Convicted Felon…also voted for the Republicans Party to hold power…they are in control!

By their inactions they have ALLOWED the Convicted Felon’s & Musk-Rat to gut all of the programs FOR the people, FOR the children, FOR the Veterans & BTW it’ll be them that allow the spending of $92 MILLION ON A F*CKING PARADE! Money that should go to taking care of Veterans…men & women who served their country, who sacrificed their lives FOR us, the people!

So put the blame where it belongs…it’s the Republican Party! Quit blaming everyone else…THEY are the culprits! You guys voted for this crap! They are ALLOWING all of this to happen!

Just another lie. I wish his nose would grow everytime he told one. It would probably reach at least half way around the world now. There is no reason the rich shouldn't have to pay higher taxes. Or at least make a one tax pay - a certain percentage across the board that everyone pays. No loopholes, just one certain percentage everyone pays. How hard could that be?
