Less than half of the voters, apparently.
Something tells me most of his voters have no idea what he did last time

"A small price to pay to own the libs!" the drones say as they make boiled leather soup.
Don't forget deport immigrants (arguably increasing food costs). BIL sent me an article about 400+ illegals getting deported Tuesday night or something. Weird, I thought there were hundreds of thousands of them. They could only get that many? "The majority were criminals" Aight, cool. Keep those resources going and start processing the years and years of rape kits left waiting for testing. Start getting those citizens too, champ. Or are we only after the brown criminals? Hmm....
Arguably? No. Factually.

Must be rich that they can afford leather and heat
They're using pillaged library books as a heat source.
Don’t you mean banned library books?
Nobody in the US knows how marginal rates and progressive tax brackets work, you can sell the fools on anything and just blame the IRS because it’s the most convenient incarnation of what people hate.
I mean even this post got it wrong, your taxes go up until about $1 mil, not $300k.

They raise taxes on the middle class to make people hate taxes so they vote for smaller government.
They’ve been doing it since the 80s. God how I wish our politics weren’t in a death spiral. It’s so boring.

Correct. And it is still current.

This is just peak brainworm. What does someone making nearly a million dollars a year even do with an extra 7k?? Make their scroodge McDuck vault a little deeper? Doesn't matter how deep it is, you still can't dive into it like a pool. Idiots.
Pretend that's the end of the bracket and it doesn't increase from there. Now the guy making 100,000,000 gets an extra $700,000
No, you totally can dive into a pile of gold and swim in it and they should definitely all try it. It works better the higher the diving board is.

That's on top of the increase starting now as well.
The tax plan of 2017 cut taxes for everyone, but starting last year they went up for anyone not making 300k or more.
LOL Bush Jr did the same thing as did the previous Republican president. This is par for the course.
Is there a source on this? Not that I don't believe it, I'm sure this is exactly what's going to happen, but if I bring it up in conversation saying "I saw it in a meme" will deflate the argument.

Is this from the extention of last tax cuts that are still active but set to expire unless renewed? Or a new proposal on top of that policy?
I don't think we know anything yet for real. I believe they included the costs of the tarrifs into everyday Americans taxes, because they are taxes after all... But Madam President changes the percent on tarrifs and to whom every time they talk, so unless someone actually writes something down, we'll never know anything concete. It is concrete that they are no longer a man though.
The last two times I’ve been to Costco they’ve been out of eggs. One of these days I’m expecting the Cash & Carry to be out of eggs too. Then the Rosaures, the Safeway, and the mini mart too. Just think of the savings in not buying any eggs at all!
