This is literally from whitehouse.gov, I can't belive this is an official post from the executive branch. I feel like it needs to be shared for posterity. (infosec.pub)

Can someone check my math? I’m estimating Trumps first term tax cuts saved the top 1% at least $100b durning his first term. Trump is complaining about less than $9m being spent here. $9m is 0.009% of $100b. Did I get that all right?

It is closer to $2.5. trillion.

The experiment wasn't even for transgender animals. It was for transgenic which is an entirely different thing.

But you aren’t a conservative. If you ever argued with one about this it will boil down to: taxes are theft, the rich are entitled to those tax cuts.

taxes are theft, ~~the rich are entitled to those tax cuts.~~ and it's much easier to steal from poor and/or uneducated people.

Fixed it for you.

I'm not a conservative. Just in case it wasn't clear. I believe taxes are a bandaid, a stop gap that let's the rich get away with too much, when we should instead seize the means of wealth generation.

Sorry if there was any confusion. I meant for my post to be clarifying and entertaining.

I didn't not intend to accuse you of support or dissent of anything.

[-] PanArab@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

No problem, communication online can sometimes be confusing.

[-] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

True, and very sad when you consider that there is ample time and space to clarify, apologize, edit, or just walk away in the case of a miscommunication. We weren't on the same page, and a little chat took care of that.
