Keep it up, brother. You’re doing good work.

I never said it was a cut for high income earners, I know it phases out at higher income levels.

You didn’t address the other claims I made about eroding workers rights

Also, the ‘No Tax on Tips and Overtime’ is misleading as the are still included in payroll tax. The bill allows workers to deduct up to $12,500 from their federal tax burden, which is less than the standard deduction of $31,000 for joint filers and $23,000 for head of household

I did. It was in the report from the Economic Policy Institute that I linked. Can you provide evidence of the things you claimed that aren’t screenshots from Fox?

Here, I’ll link the study again.

He’s a stooge. Part of the party’s rot that needs to be cut out for good.

Workforce health is so much more than wages. This administration has done significant damage to to workers rights as well as creating an uncertain job market with tariffs. Not to mention gutting workplace safety regulations.

It’s legit. I am genuinely curious.

Can I ask why you support this administration?

Dems have been pushing the Overton Window to the right for decades. Newsom's antics are just a furthering of that aim.

Neat? Thanks for the pictures.

Governments are corrupt, yes. Do you extend the same criticisms to the current federal administration? Millions missing from White House ballroom reno, the feds et all protecting pedophiles and child traffickers, take your pick.

At least be consistent in your opinions.

CPI says otherwise, but go ahead.

I mean, I agree with you, Obama is a war criminal. That being said, the President cannot unilaterally release information during an ongoing investigation with the DOJ. There is a separation there for a reason. Trump ended the investigation in 2025 so congress forced the release of the files.
