Of course. It's disingenuous to claim that not raising taxes is a "cut".
It's the same lie as claiming a reduction in a spending increase is a "budget cut".
There are actual tax cuts in Trump's bill, but they don't apply to the wealthy.
Can we agree that the taxes on the wealthy would be higher if the BBB was not passed?
It's not a "cut", it's just that the BBB makes taxes lower for the wealthy than they would have been without the BBB <eyeroll>.
The BBB repealed the tax increase, yes. That's not a cut, because the increase didn't happen.
So we agree that Republicans did things that resulted in the rich paying less taxes than they would have otherwise.
They cut taxes for the years 2026 and later. The TCJA tax cuts expire this year.
