Today, trump tweeted that 95% of Americans would pay less OR THE SAME in taxes

95% of Americans will pay less or, at worst, the same amount of taxes (mostly far less). The Dems only want to raise your taxes!

So he's admitting that 95% of Americans may not see a change. Or, his tweet, like most of his tweets, could be a lie, with the truth being exactly the opposite (though equally vague): 95% of Americans will pay more or, at best, the same amount of taxes...

higher cost in healthcare, and what seems to allude most rich people, living from pay check to pay check.

Day care, food, gas, clothing . . .

Very few people (including the legislature that passed it) have even read the bill. I don't think anyone really knows how many will get an immediate increase or decrease in taxes. But FOR SURE .. middle class taxpayers will see an increase in taxes in 2025/25 as the benefits given them are temporary.

Another thing FOR SURE .. trump hasn't read the bill.

It hasn't hurt us yet, it's also not sustainable long term.
