Oh my a radical lib is disheartened that Trump is implementing policies that he campaigned and was elected to do.

We need to limit the ability of Democrats to buy votes by placing middle-class tax caps in the federal constitution.

Drop two bills in the hopper and fight to limit the ability of Democrats to buy votes at the expense of the middle class.

Federal taxation on personal income shall be capped as follows:
below 20% of the median federal full-time civilian employee compensation amount, 10%,
below 50% of the median federal full-time civilian employee compensation amount, 22%,
below the median federal full-time civilian employee compensation amount, 30%,
below the average federal full-time civilian employee compensation of the 100,000 largest recipients, 35%,
below the average federal full-time civilian employee compensation of the 10,000 largest recipients, 40%.
[Note 1: All percentages to include employee FICA and self-employment tax as they are income taxes.]
[Note 2: These are very close to the combined (1040 + employee FICA & Medicare) personal income tax rates now levied.]
[Note 3: Anything that the IRS would as of January 1, 2024 legally be able to collect income tax on if provided to any person would be considered compensation.]

Levies on any residential property of less than 2799 square feet of finished living space shall be no higher than the 2019 dollar amounts for the property, or for a newer or since resold property no higher than what it would have been levied at for 2019 if it lacked owner specific tax breaks, increased by 3% per calendar year since 2019 and by any percentage increase to its finished living space.

Fighting in Congress to send middle-class income and property taxation cap constitutional amendments to the states would make Congress turn deep red come 2027.

How are they going to accumulate the government funding to buy votes to get back in power when USAID is shut down?

Trump has taken as much advantage of his new powers as he plausibly can, prosecuting his political enemies, firing independent agency heads, and dismantling federal agencies almost at a whim. One salient question now is: When and if the Democrats return to power, how much of Trump’s damage can they undo?

Never accept the enemy's false premises.

“…President Donald Trump has claimed broad powers to unilaterally restructure much of how the U.S. government functions.”

President Donald Trump has claimed broad powers to unilaterally restructure restore much of how the U.S. government should function.
