This was when Ronald Reagan invented trickle down theory, so they could piss on poor people which is all that trickled down.

And both parties never voted to get rid of it.

Get rid of what? Trickle down isn't a law, it's just cutting taxes. Biden denounced trickle down, and said it obviously doesn't work, in his economic plan, but he didn't have the Senate votes to raise taxes. 30% of eligible voters vote in the midterms, we're going to need more people to actually participate if they want the government to work for them.

So are taxes bad or good for social social security recipitants? You dont get taxed on insurance payments. 3 presidents had house and senate to eliminate them.

• Joe Biden (117th Congress, 2021–2023) – Democrats held narrow majorities in both the House and the Senate alongside the White House. • Barack Obama (111th Congress, 2009–2011) – Democrats held majorities in both chambers during the first two years of his first term (including a brief Senate supermajority). • Bill Clinton (103rd Congress, 1993–1995) – Democrats controlled both the House and the Senate during the first two years of his presidency.
