Taxes are transfers. Elimination of taxes are reducing transfers.

I can’t tell if your attempt at oversimplifying was done in good faith, but if you paid attention to recent tax legislation you would see that the elimination of taxes is only permanent for corporations and not low income families. If the elimination of taxes isn’t happening fairly then the transfer of wealth is unsustainable. That is a problem.

Im surprised that people are so eager to protect their overlords when our friends and family finances are getting destroyed by the federal governments policy.

Glad everything is hunky dory wherever it is you live but my culture and nation is heading towards revolution.

All the better reason to reduce taxes and reduce spending. Then the federal government can't be destroying your friends and family.

Except "reduce taxes" on corporations is not helping anything. In fact its causing the nations deficit to grow and programs are being cut that help the poorest people. The federal government is still destroying our friends and family.

We've become an oligarchy, a corporate welfare state

Your explanation was a lot clearer than mine.

And it was facile and therefore incorrect.
