Was There Ever A Debate About The Need For Tax Cuts

I don't watch a lot of cable news but I never saw a debate just about the necessity for Billionaires to be given more money.

I don't even give a damn to include that the money was coming from the poor, that the money was the largest transfer of money from the poor to the rich in our nation's history.

Just a debate where Magats have to explain why the super rich need permanent tax cuts? Not just 10 years, permanent.

Krasnov's Horse and Sparrow Economics - Feed the horse more oats and the sparrows will have plenty to eat.

Millions of people are going to die. Millions of people are going to have their lives cut short. Why? Where was the debate?

The notion that billionaires needed more money was always a given, the debate was over what to cut to give them more money.

I don't get it.

They went in to craft a tax cut plan. There was, to the majority, nothing to discuss.
The whole point of them putting this together was to cut taxes on the very wealthy.
Everything else is ancillary and/or collateral damage.
