Great thread which clearly and concisely explains quantitatively why Trump’s ideas are idiotic.
As a reminder, 50% of households PAY NO INCOME TAX!!
That means BELOW MEDIAN INCOME HOUSEHOLDS would see a TAX INCREASE averaging $12,600, and top 10% would see a tax cut of $140,000
That doesn’t sound fair, and it is not supposed to be fair
Republicans resent paying taxes to help poor people /5

A lot of US policymaking now goes:

2) Lie about it, denounce people warning of consequences
3) See negative consequences mount, do an ad hoc move to try to mitigate those consequences while generally keeping the stupid approach
