Amid the chaos of the Trump administration, one thing has remained consistent: The wealthiest Americans will receive tax cuts. Trump’s bloodlust for taxes isn’t new; it’s been a bedrock ideology of the Republican Party for decades. But it wasn’t always this way. In an upcoming series on Lever Time, we reveal the origins of the American anti-tax movement and how a 1978 election in California set the stage for Trump’s looming tax cuts.
Trump and the Republicans are now at a crossroads. Long averse to federal borrowing, some Republicans refuse to raise the debt ceiling. But without any tax revenue to repay their loans, they could put the country in dire straits.
