Would Trump Actually Give Tax Cuts For The Rich If.....

[global1]

our economy would go into a recession?

Could he actually justify that?

1. The tax cuts trump is pushing are merely extension of cuts that existed throughout Biden's term.

If they were brand new or in addition to previous tax cuts, not sure Congress would be as receptive.

2. The rich will get their tax cuts no matter how bad the economy.

They helped rig the election, they want their reward.

3. Tax cuts for the rich are always the oligarchic GOP's response to anything, so yeah.

It's their hammer, and all problems look like nails to to Republicans.

Budget deficit? Tax cuts for the rich!
Budget surplus? Tax cuts for the rich!
Recession? Tax cuts for the rich!
Bull market? Tax cuts for the rich!

4. It's not tax cuts they want. It's the dismantling of regulations.

Tax cuts are the shiney distraction for people who actually pay taxes.
The Rich generally don't pay taxes, they pay accountants about 2% of what they would have paid in taxes to make sure they don't pay anything but perhaps capital gains, VAT or sales tax no matter what.
Even if this country went to a VAT, they'll find a way not to pay.
