Summary
I find myself witnessing yet another instance of economic deception where the wealthy receive permanent tax benefits while working-class Americans face temporary relief that expires at the political convenience. The latest tax legislation exemplifies how corporate interests consistently outweigh worker welfare in American policy-making, with seniors and low-income families bearing the heaviest burden despite political promises of broad-based relief.
Temporary vs. Permanent Structure : Observe that working-class tax cuts expire within two years while corporate tax reductions remain permanent, creating a two-tiered system that favors wealth over work.

SNAP and Healthcare Cuts: The bottom 20% face reduced benefits in food assistance and healthcare while losing tax relief, compounding financial hardship.
I believe this tax legislation represents a masterclass in political misdirection, where progressive taxation principles are abandoned in favor of regressive policies that worsen income inequality. The structure reveals how economic policy becomes a tool for wealth concentration rather than broad-based prosperity, leaving working families to shoulder increasing burdens while capital gains permanent advantages.
