In reply to the discussion: Trump's Project 2025 will bring large middle class tax increase [View all]Mike Niendorff
(3,560 posts)29. -- "TAX SHIFT"
It's about damn time somebody FINALLY used this phrase.
This has been going on for over 40 years now -- shifting the tax burden off of the wealthy and onto the middle class and the poor.
It's being done both directly (ie: actual tax-rate changes) and indirectly (running up the national debt, where the interest payments then dry up funding for literally everything else, but the repayment is deferred to the next generation(s) -- to be payed by the children of the middle class and the poor, of course, because the same tax-shift that benefits the rich NOW also benefits them in the FUTURE when it comes to who pays the national debt).
This has been the game plan for a long, long time.

Getting a $325,000 tax cut is 3 times the salary of the "family of 4" referenced here.
