What utopia do you live in? We are in the midst of a great wealth redistribution from the middle to the upper.

Again, I'm not saying the upper-middle divide is not widening. I'm saying the middle-class bar is also rising on the graph, just not as fast.

Yes we have trumps tax cuts this year, then in a few years they go away while leaving the benefits for the rich. It doesn't matter how much wealth our poor has if it cost 10 dollars for a gallon of milk. Just in my life the price of a coke has doubled, DOUBLED lol thats crazy.

Who says the tax cuts have to go away? And if they do, that benefits the government. Also, idk where you live, but milk does not at all cost 10 bucks a gallon where I am. As far as prices doubling, that's inflation. Without being an expert on that, I know it has something to do with printing too much money and/or what our currency is backed by. And also maybe borrowing money. But I don't think it has much to do with tax cuts to stimulate the economy.

As for that borrowed debt and "when we default on 20-30 trillion dollars of debt," isn't that what balancing the budget is about? Get fairer trade deals, have Americans buy American (keeping cash in-house, thus raising the people and businesses which can be taxed, thus increasing federal budget), consolidate federal agencies and programs and eliminate red tape (this is happening) to reduce federal costs, and eliminate funding to unnecessary areas of government. That's how we get a surplus and stop borrowing. Too much inefficient government spending without having a taxable base (while many undocumented immigrants pay taxes, I've seen numbers saying the cost of dealing with such immigration is almost double that) means we end up borrowing.

Obviously, what you cut, what you spend on, and how you get fairer trade deals is the point of contention. But I'm extremely excited to see how Trump does on trade deals, consolidating agencies/cutting red tape, stimulating the economy, and reducing undocumented immigration (if nothing else, there's a cultural inconsistency, which is clear from the presence of MS-13).

Sorry I'll respond when I get home but the tax cuts are already planned to expire pretty quickly after trump threw out business deductions. Taxes will be higher for you in 4 years than before, per the new plan
