Trump has vowed to “drain the swamp” in DC. However he has appointed lobbyists or his cronies to key positions in government. This will not serve the interests of the broader public but corporate insiders.

Another reason to not work with the DOGE billionaires is that they want to redistribute wealth from working class families into the pockets of the billionaire class and the companies they own. There’s nothing to negotiate with them, we can only fight back.

According to the CBO, extending Trump's tax cuts for the rich would shrink the economy over the long run.
Extending the cuts would also increase the deficit by $4.6 trillion and be used by Republicans as an excuse to gut programs millions rely on.
It's reverse Robin Hood.
