This woman believes that Trump signed an executive order eliminating all taxes for anyone who makes under $120,000 a year:

When I saw this I wondered if this was a common delusion among the MAGA cultists. It turns out that it is. She got the number wrong but it didn’t come out of nowhere. This is from last February:
The Trump administration’s latest tax policy quasi-proposal, announced by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick in an interview with CBS News, is for the elimination of taxes for folks making less than $150,000 per year.
Obviously, Trump can’t actually sign an executive order to do such a thing but he could certainly put on one of his little shows and pretend he can. So far, he hasn’t done that. His rationale is that THE TARIFFS!!! will bring in so much money we won’t really need an income tax again. Of course, we’ll be paying for those too but whatevs…
Ok. But this woman should consider this before she gets behind that idea:
If, along with extending the TCJA tax cuts that disproportionately benefit high-income earners, the Trump administration intends to eliminate the income tax for individuals making less than $150,000, it raises the obvious question of who will be left shouldering the tax burden. The answer is either the middle class or no one—because both Social Security and Medicare will be shut down.
Back in the alleged golden era before there was an income tax which we didn’t have such things as social security and Medicare. Most old people died in penury and they died much younger. But that seems to be the plan. Just look at “MAHA.” If they have their way, most of the worker drones will be killed by the next pandemic so we won’t have to worry about it.
I think what is most astonishing about people like the woman in that video is that she’s so very sure of herself. I think that’s what MAGA has given her — confidence that her instincts are correct and a feeling of belonging to a large group of people who agree. It’s too bad her instincts are so wrong and that her arrogance is going to destroy her — and the rest of us too. I hate to say it but I think that’s part of the appeal. She may go down but as long as we go down too, it’s worth it.
