How Trump’s Very MAGA Tax Cuts Break with GOP Tradition

Posted on by Lone Candle

“For decades, Republicans have extolled the virtues of removing loopholes and carveouts from the tax code, arguing it would make the system fairer and more efficient, while allowing for lower overall tax rates.”

“Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill is not an exercise in tax simplification.

Instead, it began with a push to extend the party’s 2017 tax cuts — which despite some streamlining also introduced some complexity — and piled more on top, in line with a slew of presidential campaign promises. Add in a heavy dose of congressional politics, and the result was a sprawling and quirky piece of legislation that is distinctively Trumpy: lower taxes and a bigger pile of tax breaks.”

…

“several economists I spoke with worried it is the worst of all combinations: increasing the debt to pay for tax breaks that lead to neither growth nor other economically useful outcomes.”

Tech moguls planned in private Signal chats how to turn the culture right and support Trump. This is closer to a secret group of powerful people trying to control society than anything the left does or the “deep state”.

Trump and Musk are exaggerating the level of fraud in Social Security and are cutting it in a way that will hurt seniors.

Musk has unlimited money to spend on political campaigns, giving him great influence over congress members who fear Musk will spend money for their primary opponents.
