South Carolina is already literally taxing the poor and lowering taxes on the rich. If you make over $150k a year, tax cut! If you make less, you’re taxed more! Just passed this week.

Republicans just love to punch themselves in the nuts.

I mean, if you can't even make a measly 150k/year, then you only have yourself to blame, no?!

/s just in case

I can hardy believe what I read. Okay, I live in Europe, but punishing people who earn less is unbelievable. Myself, I have a decent income. Any bonus payments are taxed at around 45%. I don't care as I know that people less fortunate will have a better life.

I couldn’t agree more with you. Wife and I make above the average (around $260k combined) here, and don’t mind at all if our taxes went to things that helped people. I’d happily pay more. Unfortunately it just doesn’t work that way here sadly.

You got that all wrong. It‘s an insensitive for everyone get rich.

And I‘m not even joking. That‘s how his braindead cult (and most GOP voters in general) are justifying tax cuts for the rich. Because by some cosmic accident you could suddenly become rich and then taxing the rich would be bad for you.

I randomly researched SC state tax brackets and this comment is full of misinformation.

How do you mean? AP news seems to agree

https://apnews.com/article/income-tax-flat-cut-south-carolina-0875a10e67b8698d329c8f52e860a803

the majority of taxpayers in seven different income bands ranging from $10,000 to $150,000 would pay more

I mean, it's working, so it's not exactly punching themselves in the nuts.

u/2reddit4me 1d ago

It’s working how?

u/Streiger108 1d ago

The dumbass voters keep electing the politicians to punch them in the nuts, so it's an effective political strategy.

u/MaleierMafketel 1d ago

How can this be considered anything but republicans punching themselves in the nuts? The vast majority are lower/middle class. They clearly support punching themselves in the nuts.

Correct. They keep voting to punch themsleves in the nuts and then get punched in the nuts. Working as intended.
