I'm no one at all!  So it's simple: if Joe Average American has
decided it's in his interest to have less access to affordable
healthcare, pay higher prices for everything he buys, a federal deficit
rising faster than ever before, and wants to give the struggling
billionaire class a chance to pay even less taxes than they already do,
then rock on, he knows what he wants and deserves to get it good and
hard!

Scroll up to the top of this thread to see where we began.  Poor
fucking Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk get to pay less taxes, and Joe's
diabetes meds are going to run him hundreds of bucks per month more.
And here you are to defend it.
