They are using the word “tax cuts”

That is not what I am seeing. These are schemes of wealth redistribution and social engineering.

Ait and switch. I can say it, I even know what it means. And the Demon-rats are very, very good at it.

Well, yes, tax cuts for mega corporations by rallying for them to get billions in refunds from the government tariffs.

My SS is still being 85% taxed....

It’s somewhat surprising that I remain fairly pissed, but driven by the WhiteHUT claims of “no tax on SS”.

They need to Stop It.

Plus Trump has always been a Big [YUGE] Spender.

Reading between the lines they know NOTHING they are throwing at Trump and thenGOP is sticking. So now they will run on non existent tax cuts with the usual refrain “Donald Trump and the extreme MAGA republicans are refusing to cut taxes on working people to pay for tax cuts to his billionaire buddies.”

(Typed in my best Hakeem Jeffries voice.)

Election Season. Promise the moon, then deliver nothing/backtrack when you get elected. Unfortunately, Republicans are only slightly less bad.

In California, progressive candidate for governor Katie Porter, a former Democratic congresswoman, is proposing to wipe out state income taxes for California families making up to $100,000 per year. “

And raise it for everybody else.

I seem to recall that when Republicans call for tax cuts the Democrats respond with something like “how will we pay for it?”

More like ‘Hot New Lie’. The party of slavery is not about to give its free roaming slaves a break. Power is the only thing RATs crave.

LOL - first they cause the problem by taxing everything, and obstructing all efforts to lighten the burden, then they see what people have known for a long time and have an “epiphany”...
