I think a good solution would be a week or more long workers strike across the nation until certain conditions are met. Will never happen though.
I still don’t see how tax cuts for the rich would benefit me. I kind of understand what you’re getting at, and in principle I completely agree. Our government isn’t working for you and I, but the people who have all the dough. Which isn’t you or I, so I still don’t really understand how tax cuts for the rich would help. I’ve always assumed raising taxes on the wealthiest folks would really help social programs and infrastructure (if the money actually goes where it’s supposed to, big what if).
I mean doesn’t it bother you how some of the wealthiest people and corporations in the country barely pay any taxes? Some of them none at all.

The tax cuts for the rich benifit you because theyre really more "tax cuts" and it does affect your income, like when the tax cuts for the rich happen, i still make like more $ each month than I did before.
I hope you're withholding more because we need to pay more this year than we did last year. All of us.
The point I am making
isnt that tax cuts for the rich, trickle down and help you some how.
The point is, that taxES for the rich dont either.
With tax cuts you do pay less, that actually helps me.
On the contrary, bail outs, actually make the cost of goods MORE so its a reverse tax on me, and those end up making me pay more out of pocket, and they just GIVE money to the people we're supposed to be taxing?
And then we celebrate that as a success for the administration, and we let them write MORE checks?
That's trickle down economics if anything is.
Also I been audited, and you will too, because we're not part of the rich group that doesn't get audited.
