To deliver these tax cuts to the top, OBBBA would make the biggest cut to food aid in all of American history, taking meals off the plates of more than two million hungry children. The health care cuts in the bill would mean 22 million people have to pay more for insurance, 15 million lose it entirely, and 51,000 people would actually die, based on careful estimates of what happens when people can’t afford care.
The bill will hurt states and harm towns and cities, reducing the quality of our schools, roads, and safety services. It even sneaks in a special tax shelter for wealthy stockholders, allowing them to make a tidy profit by donating their stocks to private school voucher programs (weakening public schools and public services in the process).
Musk and Trump are now using a fraction of their money and power to take each other down a peg. And while big corporations should pay taxes (Tesla didn’t last year), we probably don’t all have to lose sleep over their public feud. What we should remember is that they’ve already used their immense riches to make our country and our lives much worse.
Here’s the upshot: our tax policies enable people like Musk and Trump to accumulate more wealth than anyone could ever use in a lifetime. They then use it to steer elections and shape public policy to further enrich themselves and others like them. Lather, rinse, repeat.
Enough. Policymakers should reconsider the enormously destructive OBBBA and craft a tax policy similar to when American had a larger more secure middle class.
