Cant imagine making 30 k a year and having to pay even 1600 in taxes. This is saying it will increase that much.
What does this have to do with enshitification?

What is enshittification?
The phenomenon of online platforms gradually degrading the quality of their services, often by promoting advertisements and sponsored content, in order to increase profits. (Cory Doctorow, 2022, extracted from Wikitionary) source
The lifecycle of Big Internet
We discuss how predatory big tech platforms live and die by luring people in and then decaying for profit.
Embrace, extend and extinguish
We also discuss how naturally open technologies like the Fediverse can be susceptible to corporate takeovers, rugpulls and subsequent enshittification.

This is such a slap in the face. The tax breaks for the rich will be barely noticeable for them. The increase for everyone else could result in noticeable hardship.
This needs to be called Trumps Tax Rises, and repeated over and over again until it sinks in with the morons who voted for him.
I make 60k a year and pay 32k in taxes.
In the us?
In the NL. I'm happy to as well, we're having a nice and safe country. Only things to fuck it up are Russia and the US right now.
Yeah, we don't get any of the social programs you benefit from.
It's the same in Germany, people listed the actual tax cuts that'll happen per income bracket for each of the major parties, and surprisingly the nazi party that keeps drumming up the "We're the common man's party!!!!!!" is the one that wants to make the rich richer.
And if you want to make the rich more richer than the fucking FDP, a factually one-man party by a guy that can only comment "But what about Porsche drivers?!" to any problem you put in front of him, wow are you a rich assholes party.
Remember, fellow Germans: Today we vote. And if on the way out you vote with your fist in the face of a nazi or nazi-sympathizing voter, that's a bonus!
Unfortunately, disinformation seems to be the winning strategy.
From an American: sorry for Facebook, Twitter, all that... Both our parties are kinda bought by big tech, and it's affecting y'all too.

But i'll trickle down? Right? RIGHT??
Will it ever?
The only way the folks who need to see things like these infographics will see them though:
you can shove it up their ass and they'll still vote for him
Looks like income tax is reduced across the board. And the increases come from removal of IRA rebates and adding of tarriffs.
From your link:
Yeah, this is what every economist in the country has been saying for the last 3 months. These idiotic tariffs are going to screw every middle to lower class American.
You live in a serfdom
Print, laminate and start ticking this up around your local town centre.
