Carly Vargas' Viral Tweet Sheds Light on Tax Policies: Trump vs. Biden

In a thought-provoking tweet that has garnered significant attention, Twitter user Carly Vargas, known by the handle @cbozy, highlights a critical discussion on tax policies from the Trump administration and contrasts them with concerns under President Biden. Posted on November 8, 2020, at 11:21 AM, this tweet has sparked a flurry of reactions across social media platforms.

The tweet reads: "Wait, so Trump passed a bill in 2017 where ppl who makes under $75,000 will have their taxes raised in 2021 and every 2 years after that until 2027…. while the rich get richer…. and y’all cryin about Biden raising taxes for ppl who make over 400k? I must be missing something."

Carly Vargas' tweet brings attention to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, enacted during Donald Trump's presidency. This legislation, as Vargas points out, includes provisions that will incrementally raise taxes on individuals earning under $75,000 until 2027. Meanwhile, wealthier individuals and large corporations benefit from substantial tax cuts.

The reactions to this tweet have been varied and intense. One user commented, "By design, they set it to rise so people see their paycheck take a hit and they can just say 'whoa dems raised your taxes? Wild.' Much like corporate greed driving inflation, hostile governments goosing the oil price, disengaged people have no idea who's responsible, they just see their bills go up assume those in power pull all the levers and demand change. It's *depressingly* effective."

Another reaction highlighted the disparity in media control: "The rich are the cause of all misery in the world. Giant corporation heads control most media, and those who earn less than 75,000 have little power over those who hold the purse strings."

Further comments underscore the complexities of the tax legislation and the public's understanding of it. One user noted, "People don't realize how the back end accounting worked on the Tax Cuts and Jobs act and they are always super surprised when I explain it to them."

The tweet has also resonated with individuals frustrated by the political narrative surrounding taxes. A comment read, "I have a couple of friends who are MAGA idiots and were complaining about how taxes are getting worse the last couple of years and ofc they blame Biden for it instead of the guy who made it worse, how can their brains not process that the tax laws that a****** made are the reason for what is happening, cognitive dissonance is insane when you are in a cult."

Overall, Carly Vargas' tweet has not only spotlighted a significant policy issue but also ignited a broader conversation about economic disparities, media influence, and political accountability. The tweet serves as a reminder of the importance of understanding the complexities behind tax legislation and its long-term impacts on different income groups.
