Majority of Americans Oppose Trump’s Megabill

The top 20% of income earners pay 70% of all federal income taxes

You don't think they are paying their fair share? That seems like a pretty progressive tax code to me.

Shouldn't you be focused on those who pay ZERO federal income taxes? Or even worse those who are getting welfare in the form of the earned income tax credit? I mean talk about a scam if there ever was one. Talk about some Orwellian bullshit.

Crazy Trump's big beautiful bill is not off to a good start, and it sure looks like this is going to be a strong campaign issue for the Democrats.​

​

Roughly 6 in 10 Americans oppose Trump’s megabill, CNN poll finds ​



Roughly 6 in 10 Americans say they oppose the GOP domestic policy bill that President Donald Trump recently signed into law, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS.


In the wake of his most sweeping legislative achievement since returning to office, Trump’s rating for handling the budget has slumped 11 points since March, with a rising majority also saying he’s gone too far in cutting government programs.

Americans say, 61% to 39%, that they oppose the spending bill overall. Most, 58%, now say Trump’s gone too far in cutting federal government programs (up 7 points since February), and his rating for handling the federal budget now stands at just 37%. His rating for handling taxes, though still underwater, is modestly more positive: 44% approve of his handling of taxes, close to his first-term high on that issue.

You mean 6 out of 10 of the 1057 people who participated in the poll oppose it. 1057 out of 300 million people is not very impressive is it? You fucking idiots never learn do you?

Let's hope that the (D)s 1) run great candidates, and 2) hammer on this travesty and make sure that the voters see it clearly. Many MAGATs are uninformed idiots and either will ignore what's coming, or pretend it's a LW lie. They'll find out differently.

Maybe you retards should run someone that your own party wanted but thats too complicated for you idiots.

So you think 1057 is a good representation of what 300 million Americans think and im the forum idiot? Then that makes you the JPP Forum retarded donkey fucker. I'll give you credit though you dont even bother to try and think. Too exhausting for you.

Betcha those in the 39% group are almost all MAGATs or aligned with that deplorable garbage segment.

It’s expected that Democrats would largely be against it and Republicans would largely be for it. The Truthteller is the Independents who make up about 40% of the electorate: 2/3s are against it.

Combined with the Democrats I suspect the Midterms won’t be kind to the Republicans.

MAGA morons believe 300 million Americans vote. https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/statistics/elections/2024

Sampling error of +/-3.5% is standard but as Yak proves, MAGA morons only believe the polls they like.

“The margin of sampling error for total respondents is +/-3.5 at the 95% confidence level.”

OMG

You really didn't just add them together did you?

Holy fuck. That is probably one of the funniest dumbest things I have ever seen on this message board. I am going to give you a chance to correct why what you just said is so fucking wrong.

Thank you for the laugh puddin.

This is so illustrative of the leftists on this board. They don't understand basic mathematics.
 
Dutch regards independents as "truthtellers,"
which is, of course, his prerogative.

He doesn't use "truthtellers" in that particular context above,
but I can read between the lines
and he's been generous with his opinions on the matter anyway.

I exercise my prerogative
by regarding independents
as commitment-phobic fence straddlers.

I don't understand how one can have direction without starting on a side.
I think of independents as floaters,
and thus would not rely on them for anything.

I also opine that socially responsible people should be reliable.
Like Dutch, I'm generous with my opinions as well.

Oh the old "where is your link" canard.

I knew the twas coming so I had it ready

I was wrong about the percentage of taxes paid by the various income strata.

Actually I did. But based on your response that you think that these numbers are additive, I am not sure you would understand them.

Let me explain this to you like you are a DEI candidate for the Supreme Court

You see the top 5% number is included in the top 10% number and the top 5% and top 10% number is included in the top 25% number and so on and so on and so on.

So let's review.

First I proved to you beyond a shadow of a doubt that the top 20% pay way more than their fair share of taxes. You claim they have 50% of the income, yet they pay 87% of all federal income taxes.

Then we find out that you are soooooo fucking stupid you thought these numbers added up to 100%

Then you do the typical left wing bullshit of trying to hide behind "where is your link" as if you would understand it. I provided it.

The big ugly bill has not hit yet. They are slashing medical help for poor people. They are slashing FEMA and talking bout ending it. They are gutting weather services .Hurricane season is coming. Immigrants who came here like our ancestors, are being thrown in jail without permitting a defense in court.
Nothing will work out because the design is to kill the government.
