NEW: On a day when a conservative revolt halted progress on President Trump's tax package, new data analyzed by the Times show the package may greatly benefit the wealthy and leave Americans with lower incomes facing losses starting next year. My latest: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/16/u...

He doesn't care about them either. He's just transactional and rich folks are more useful to him more often than not.

True. He needed the KoolAid drinkers to vote him into office and the wealthy to fill his offshore bank accounts.

Why should anyone be surprised by this? People don't enter politics to craft legislation that benefits low income families. They enter politics to avail them selves of opportunities for personal enrichment which come only from pandering to wealthy people.

It shouldn't be a surprise that a Republican tax bill would be crafted to penalize the middle class for the benefit of the rich. Most, if not all, senators can be considered to be rich, so of course, they would write the bill to further enrich themselves.

Re the related NYT story by Carl Hulse, have the supposed hard-line single-minded anti-deficit “fundamentalists” proposed a balanced budget in detail? NYT shouldn’t wait until 8 paragraphs in to begin explaining the fraudulent pretense, that should be clearer up front imo
