Tiffany Twisted 🧶 🌿 🌀 :
I hear your frustration. You’re working hard and still living paycheck to paycheck, like many of us do…and it shouldn’t be this way. The truth is, the system has been rewritten to benefit the ultra-wealthy at our expense. Back in the 1950s-60s, the “Golden Age” of the middle class, billionaires and CEOs were taxed at 70–91% on their top income, and that money built highways, schools, and opportunity. Today, after Trump’s 2017 “Big Beautiful Tax Bill” cut the top rate to just 37%, billionaires like Elon Musk pay effective rates as low as 3% (sometimes even zero) while Trump himself paid only $750 in 2016 and 2017, and nothing (zero) in 2020. Meanwhile, average working families like mine and yours are paying 13–20% of their income in taxes, often more than the richest men in America. And now tariffs are being passed onto us too, raising prices on groceries, gas, and everyday goods, while Trump’s personal wealth has already jumped by over $3 billion in just 8 months. All so the rich get richer, while the working class gets squeezed harder. When will maga/republicans connect the dots? 😩
