The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Oh, what a surprise!

The poor get screwed and the rich get richer.

Shared article (scan down the page):

nytimes.com - Year in review

To answer questions about the overall impact of the legislation, it looked at its effects for different income groups. This kind of breakdown, called a distributional analysis, showed that the bill didn’t just cut taxes more for higher earners than poorer Americans, but that when those tax cuts combined with changes to the social safety net, it also left poor Americans significantly worse off.

This chart, later revised after the bill passed, got us wondering whether there was any congressional precedent for legislation that helped the rich and hurt the poor this much. We weren’t able to find any such past example. — Emily Badger, Alicia Parlapiano and Margot Sanger-Katz

Poor deluded MAGAts. Their Lord and Savior could not give a flying fuck about them.
