Expect this is true like holy frick man it's not Dems trying to divide people if it's true. The establishment Republicans are in it for the ultra rich. The establishment Dems are as well

We disagree here.

I would assume by "ultra rich" you mean the top 1%.

1980 the top 1% of earners paid 20% of federal income tax.

2017 the top 1% of earners paid over 38% of federal income tax.

1980 the bottom 50% of earners paid 8% of federal income taxes.

2017 the bottom 50% of earners paid less then 3% of federal income taxes with the bottom 47% of earners net net paying zero.

So you see where the trend is going. The rich are paying a higher share of the federal tax burden. The poor are getting the breaks and paying less.

Add to that Trump cut taxes in 2017. The percentage the top 1% pay went up from 37% in 2016 to 38% in 2017.

So since 1980, who has cut taxes...the Republicans.

Since 1980, who has been raising taxes...the Democrats.

So the question is who has the tax cuts favored?

According to the numbers the poor have benefitted greatly and the top 1% have had the percentage of federal income taxes they pay almost double.

Yet idiots, on the left, believe that the tax cuts have only been favoring the rich which is a total lie(meaning its's not true).

This is Democratic class warfare 101(which you say is not happening). The Democrats continue to say the Republicans are cutting taxes for the rich and giving you, the poor, nothing. That has been the Democrat talking point for 30 years. Divide and conquer.

I disagree with all your other crap too but am too tired to reply.
