As usual, Brit Hume is right, especially when it comes to Democrats, Lefties, and members of the mainstream media. All we hear from any of them over and over and over again is how Trump's tax cuts will only benefit the rich (aka BILLIONAIRES).
We can't help but notice they only changed it to billionaires once so many of them became millionaires.
Hume called them out perfectly:
Brit Hume (@brithume) ~ Remember this when you hear (endlessly) that GOP tax cuts will only benefit the rich: About 40% of U.S. households pay no federal income tax. It's not easy to design a tax cut for people who don't pay any. Trump has tried by proposing no tax on tips, overtime and Social Security. But the underlying reality remains: tax cuts inevitably benefit those who pay taxes.
The gap between those Americans who pay and those who don't is even more significant than that ... in 2023, 23 million eligible workers and families received about $57 billion in earned income tax credits. Therefore, not only are about 40% of Americans not paying any federal income tax, a significant portion of them are paying no federal income tax AND receiving a "refund" to boot.

griffitovic (@griffitovic) ~ Exactly Brit. Hard to give a break to someone when they aren't even in the game.
Seriously. How can you give someone a break if they're not paying in the first place?
Lord B ( @BGH1968 ) ~ Democrats want redistribution of income to people who do not pay taxes. They do not want lower taxes for the taxpayers. They just never say that.
And yet, we all still know it's the truth.
Democrats are VERY GENEROUS ... with other people's money.
