Why does this lie keep getting repeated?Nodack wrote: ↑Tue Apr 09, 2024 1:46 pmTrump promised Mexico would pay for the wall 79474868673 times. Then he won, Republicans won the House and the Senate. Republicans could pass anything they wanted. They passed a massive tax break that mostly went to the super filthy rich people. Then Republicans in Washington said no to Trumps wall.
Trump promised to repeal Obamacare. He didn’t.
Trump promise he would zero the national debt by the time he left office. He didn’t.
He promised he would end violence in our inner cities. All he did was insult them after he was elected.
IRS data proves Trump tax cuts benefited middle, working-class Americans most

President Biden and congressional Democrats’ Build Back Better (BBB) Act is now in the hands of the Senate. That legislative body’s 50-50 partisan split will undoubtedly make the bill’s passage difficult.
In order for BBB to become law, Democratic Senate leadership will need to convince moderates such as Sens. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) and Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) that the legislation’s $2.4 trillion price tag can be offset by expanding the IRS and its enforcement efforts while imposing substantial tax reform measures.
Congressional Democrats have argued that one of the best ways to pay for the legislation is to raise taxes on wealthy households, which, according to many on the left, have benefited disproportionately and unfairly from the 2017 tax reform law passed by Republicans and signed by former President Trump. The latest data, however, proves that this claim is pure mythology.
Income data published by the IRS clearly show that on average all income brackets benefited substantially from the Republicans’ tax reform law, with the biggest beneficiaries being working and middle-income filers, not the top 1 percent, as so many Democrats have argued.
