The 2025 Republican Wealth Bill is Much Worse Than 2017
« on: Wed, 02 July 2025, 11:28:43 »
The Great Republican Tax Scam of 2017 was just the warm-up act to this new abomination that we are facing.

This time, the working class, and its sub-order, the much-harder-working non-citizen class, will fare far worse than they did last time. And that is before you even start to factor in rampant inflation resulting from a variety of sources, not least the exponential increase of "private equity" taking over everything in sight, rapidly rising prices from mindless tariff wars and corporate greed, and last but not least, degradation of our environment in every category of measurement - which always impacts the lower economic classes far more than the wealthy.

Naturally, toilet-paper-for-tissue will likely chime in with some variation of the tired stale "same as it ever was" response, but anyone facing the imminent loss of job and/or health insurance and/or housing and/or standard of living and/or personal liberty can hardly fail to recognize that these are new and uncharted waters. And the final bulwark of the rule of law in our nation, the Supreme Court, has proven itself to now be as corrupt as the other "co-equal" branches of the Federal government.

"Starting in 2011, the deficits again started to shrink. During Obama’s term  the deficit was reduced by $900 Billion  before finally in 2015 the GOP managed to wrangle a “reconciliation” bill out of Obama where he again cut corporate taxes, as well as made permanent some of George W. Bush’s original tax cuts. This is the year everything reversed. Before this, under Clinton, Bush and Obama the deficit in almost every year was gradually decreasing. The balance we had of taxes and the economy was bringing the deficit down, the money coming in was slowly catching up with the money going out until 2015. Trump’s subsequent tax cut has continued the new trend even after the rest of Bush’s cuts have since expired. Obama had an average GDP of 2.3%, with 11.6 million jobs created and unemployment peaking at 10% in 2009, then falling to 4.3% in 2016. If we had continued on that downward deficit track, we would have again reached balance and another surplus in 2017-2018.

"“THIS GROWTH has already begun at levels never seen before. Trillions of Dollars are now being invested into the USA, more than ever before. Likewise, hundreds of Billions of Dollars in Tariffs are filling up the coffers of Treasury. The Tariff money has already arrived and is setting new records! We are growing our way out of the Sleepy Joe Biden MESS that he and the Democrats left us, and it is happening much faster than anyone thought possible. Our Country will make a fortune this year, more than any of our competitors, but only if the Big, Beautiful Bill is PASSED! As they say, Trump’s been right about everything, and this is the easiest of them all to predict. Republicans, don’t let the Radical Left Democrats push you around. We’ve got all the cards, and we are going to use them. Last year America was a “DEAD” Nation, with no hope for the future, and now it’s the “HOTTEST NATION IN THE WORLD!” MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

The problem isn't the bill.

If you think about it, "muri kha" has NEVER EVER been for the people.

If the idea is to bring back manufacturing, or near shoring, it will prop up the average living standards of the working class.

The problem is, that takes longer than 4 years.  If dvm p isn't emperor, it simply can't happen.


People associate fascism with the Nazis, and it's absolutely bad.  Well TECHNICALLLLLLY, fascism, is, PRIVATE CAPITAL -> PUBLIC/State profit Benefit.  Whereas, the form of capitalism we actually have today is,  PUBLIC Capital -> Private profit Benefits.

What the Nazis did wasn't pure fascism either, it was really just Capitalism.



But since it is unlikely 'Murik  ha can truly withstand the pressure of autocracy,  All of this is just virtue signaling and a waste of time.

Here is a small commentary:

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/07/02/senate-trump-tax-bill-surprises-legislation/84436000007/

Included is this typical morsel:

"Cheaper gun silencers

Republicans added a provision to the bill that would eliminate a nearly-century-old tax, now $200, for purchasing or making silencers, short-barreled rifles and shotguns, and other weapons. They also removed a requirement for gun owners to register their silencers."

Even better, Representative Jamie Raskin (D-Maryland) read aloud his Preamble to the proposed Republican bill:

"Mr. Speaker, I found a Preamble to this Big Ugly Bill.
We the billionaires, and our King, in order to deform and sicken our Union, establish injustice, ensure domestic servility, weaken our peoples defenses, undermine our general welfare, and reserve to ourselves and our posterity staggering debt servitude for eternity, do hereby instruct the Republicans in Congress to strip 17 million people of their healthcare, increase co-pays, premiums and deductibles for everyone else, cut 42 million people off of nutritional assistance, increase the national debt by 4 trillion dollars, trash renewable energy systems, increase our electric bills for the carbon kings, all to weaken and destroy the Constitution of the people of these United States of America. Please include this Preamble in the legislative record. I yield back."
