That H.R. 1 effectively transfers funding from the poor to the rich is plainly visible.Why on earth do you think that's a substantive argument? What the heck ...
...
As you look at your bill for 19% of your assets, would you think "Score! The government just transferred me 17% more wealth!"?
Is it your point that NO "baseline" can exist? In that case, doesn't any comparison become difficult or impossible?
Or, is there an appropriate baseline? If you already presented your choice in the thread, sorry -- I've either already forgotten it or missed it to start with.
For me, comparing
* What the net result of taxes and transfers would be without policy changes; and
* What the net result of taxes and transfers will be under the Big Beautiful Bill Act
is the most logical and meaningful way to evaluate the net effect of the Big Beautiful Bill Act on taxes and transfers.Can you use copy/paste to remind us of, and to help us understand your allegedly superior methodology?
