    It actually is. There were amendments to use that extra revenue to help those making 20k a year but our legislature chose not to add those amendments. They also chose to not amend it so they can’t lower the tax bracket.

    8 Democrats agreed with all Republicans that those amendments should have been added.

    People trying to blame and lay sides over this subject like those opposing are ignorant or something is a serious mistake and they themselves are ignorant of what is actually being made law.

    Even people here will say I am using GOP talking points but even a broken watch can be right at least once a day even if it’s a party full of MAGAts.
