Trump lowering taxes for incomes over $360k and raising for everyone else?

I’m not defending Trump in any form - since I didn’t vote for him. However I do remain a conservative Republican
You are claiming that the Biden Administration “brought the US through global inflation without a recession”. Not me.
I just returned from grocery shopping for our holiday dinner where I paid $7.99 for a pound of store brand butter and $10.99 for two dozen eggs.
The only tall task involved in this situation is controlling my anger at the prices.
Some good news is that gas is now around $2.88 a gallon. I saved enough to pay for the butter. Merry Christmas!
You paid $8 for butter and $5.50 per dozen for eggs? Was this at 7-11? Go to Costco/sam’s.
 
The Avian Flu has been going on for four years?
It's been around since 2022. It has peaked and ebbed a few times. Rebuilding egg laying flocks can be successful, only to be culled by the next wave of the flu. Eggs have gone up and down. Commercially it affects us more. At home I don't consider the cost, I just buy them.

I did not get robbed. 36 eggs $10.99. Two cartons of 18. That’s three dozen. Figure it out, if you can.
And butter has gotten super crazy.
Plus the holidays make these things very much in demand.
My gosh some of you are stubbornly clinging to things to argue.
Make up your mind. You are feeling the effects of inflation, or you aren't? It's seasonal demand, or Biden's incompetence?

As I said 2 cartons of eggs / 18 in each carton = 3 dozen eggs / $10.99 for both cartons.
About 30 cents an egg, Not bad really,
Got em at BJ’s Wholesale which is the New England chain that’s like Costco/Sams
The butter was a killer I admit.

That's why you steal the butter.

Are you poor???

Most HBOT posters don't track grocery prices since our butlers shop for us and we're all worth 9 figures. ;)

Gas $2.59, butter was $3.99 a pound and eggs are $2.99 a dozen here. Groceries price levels seem to be very regionally dependent.

“Facts”????
I have never been to Truth Social - but sweetie your sentence saying that Biden guided us through inflation (do you grocery shop or just pick up a few things at Whole Paycheck from time to time) is seriously a sad thing.
Hey sweetie, you do know that the US had the lowest rate of inflation worldwide coming out of the Covid’s, right?
No recession, either.
 
So how much will the marginal tax rate increase for people in the 0% income tax bracket?
I assume you are referring to those individuals who earn less than $13,850/year, or are you referring to the large multinational corporations that pay no income taxes?

If it's the former, your taxes will go up as well. I guess that would make you happy?

36 eggs for $10.99 is pretty good these days. I usually buy the primo "pasture raised" eggs that are around $7.99/dozen and I've seen those as high as $13, depending on the store. The cheapest eggs I've seen lately were around $3 for a dozen.

So was this just a made up statement or what? This thread reminds me of a boomer sharing a meme on FB that is most likely fake but has a chance to be real so you have to do some googling on it. But then you read the comments and you got Boomer Bash 2025 just revving up.

Mom… more bad news for you and your eggs..another outbreak of avian flu found here in NW Iowa resulting in the extermination of millions of layers…prices are going up some more! That damn Biden! Iowa has had almost two years straight of “avian flu” outbreaks that result in the elimination of millions of birds resulting in shortages of eggs and chickens..these shortages are the main reason eggs prices are skyrocketing the past 2 years…and the avian flu problem doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon.

Winn Dixie store brand butter four sticks/one pound was $7.99.
Two cartons of eggs (large container of 18) were $10.99 at BJ’s Wholesale.
Baking for the holiday bumps demand.

There's your problem, shopping at Winn Dixie. They have an extremely odd business model...charge ultra-premium prices, provide budget level service, while marketing your store to clientele who don't want to get dressed up enough to go to Wal-Mart. I have no idea how they're still in business.

“Winn-dixie” is an obvious oxymoron. Those folks haven’t realized that The South lost the war almost 160 years ago. How can there business model surprise you?

In some markets they come close to what you’re describing but the WD in question is less than a mile from their current SE Grocers headquarters here in Jacksonville, and it tends to have lots of unannounced spot checks from the bigwigs. It was also the closest grocery store to where I’d been running errands so I scooted in.

Nope. What we have going on here is just some of the same bored and defeated assholes with nothing else to do trying to make something out of nothing.
 
It sucks so bad I’ve been paid to write it for 22 years.
Dayum. You hit the Mother Lode in Gullible Gulch, huh?
TORBS YOU KNOW I LOVE TO GIVE YOU ENTIRE HUGE RAFTERS OF SHIT…MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄 💁‍♀️😘

I’m sorry to hear that. Kill em all and start over, maybe?
