Isn't their source of data characterized as "left-leaning"? How valid is this information?

I hope they starve. If I was running a soup kitchen I'd refuse to serve anyone who voted for this.

Even if we're just talking eggs, they're up about $1.50 per dozen in my area and Der Blöderfürher has only been in office three days.

Graph is from October 2024 this isn’t some new version that was just released either
Correct. And it is still current.

Is there a source on this? Not that I don't believe it, I'm sure this is exactly what's going to happen, but if I bring it up in conversation saying "I saw it in a meme" will deflate the argument.

They raise taxes on the middle class to make people hate taxes so they vote for smaller government.
They’ve been doing it since the 80s. God how I wish our politics weren’t in a death spiral. It’s so boring.
The last two times I’ve been to Costco they’ve been out of eggs. One of these days I’m expecting the Cash & Carry to be out of eggs too. Then the Rosaures, the Safeway, and the mini mart too. Just think of the savings in not buying any eggs at all!

LOL Bush Jr did the same thing as did the previous Republican president. This is par for the course.

Nobody in the US knows how marginal rates and progressive tax brackets work, you can sell the fools on anything and just blame the IRS because it’s the most convenient incarnation of what people hate.

That's on top of the increase starting now as well.
The tax plan of 2017 cut taxes for everyone, but starting last year they went up for anyone not making 300k or more.
This is just peak brainworm. What does someone making nearly a million dollars a year even do with an extra 7k?? Make their scroodge McDuck vault a little deeper? Doesn't matter how deep it is, you still can't dive into it like a pool. Idiots.
No, you totally can dive into a pile of gold and swim in it and they should definitely all try it. It works better the higher the diving board is.
Supposedly they invest it back into the economy, or, at least that’s what I’ve been told.

they use dollar bills instead of gold coins, you can get a cushy landing and swim through it pretty well.

"A small price to pay to own the libs!" the drones say as they make boiled leather soup.
Don't forget deport immigrants (arguably increasing food costs). BIL sent me an article about 400+ illegals getting deported Tuesday night or something. Weird, I thought there were hundreds of thousands of them. They could only get that many? "The majority were criminals" Aight, cool. Keep those resources going and start processing the years and years of rape kits left waiting for testing. Start getting those citizens too, champ. Or are we only after the brown criminals? Hmm....
