So while the rich do pay more, shouldn’t that money be purposed for the community as a whole? rather than handouts to specific targeted groups of people, those of which already have issues managing personal economics (based off the situation they are in)? How are the 101 million Americans the poor? Why is he going to feed the debt? How does that not help our society as a whole? This money is being purposed to the community as a whole. This ‘targeted’ group is 101 million people…that’s 1/3 of the USA…the previous administration was purposing it the 1/3 of the fiscal community, now it’s 1/3 of the USA. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/taxes-the-election-and-you/200054)._
