    The Heritage Foundation should lose their tax free status.
  • @meganann3876
    We need to talk about this more often. Trump created a tax system that permanently provided tax cuts to businesses and billionaires but the tax plan for average Americans ENDS in 2025! He promised even MORE tax cuts to businesses while on his campaign trail! Even if he’s trying to distance himself from project 2025, it’s exactly what his plan is!

    Heritage Foundation should be deemed a national threat.
  • @nomore6167
    Remember that the Supreme Court now considers a bribe to be a "gratuity", which is another word for "tip". In other words, now that bribes are legal, Project 2025 wants to make them tax-exempt as well.

    Don't forget how they will destroy Military Veterans disability and retirement. Privatize VA health care.
  • @simplylovie007
    Yeah, he wants the poor and middle class to pay for millionaires and billionaires taxes that they get to write off
  • @wolveswithin4444
    How in gods name does anyone support this if they are care about our country? This is insane! Thank you for breaking this down.
  • Absolutely BRILLIANT service for all Americans ! We need more of this 2025 spelled out in Plain, simple language. Thank You, Velsi , you're doing awesome !
  • @aorinz
    Took the media long enough to begin covering this. Just glad it finally happened. Sadly it would take a college course to get the real scope.
  • @daydays12
    Well done Velshi! This the kind of reporting Americans need!
  • @SamiKotiranta
    Absolutely horrible plan, horrible just like Trump.
  • @AS-bo8tb
    I hope MSNBC continues to have segments on project 2025 and its worst policies.
  • @EugeneBurtonjr
    I absolutely think that Trump is a nightmare if we let him go back into office all this is so unfair to the middle-class Americans
  • @ct6852
    Yeah let's put more of the burden on working people who can barely afford it as it is. Sounds like a plan. Considering income inequality is the source of almost every major problem in the country right now. God forbidden someone pay a bit more who would barely even notice the missing cash.
  • @edwardclark8808
    I used to get a federal tax refund of $1200 to $1300 until the 2017 tax cuts. Then my 2018 federal tax refund was $600 to $700 my wage do not change and W2 withholding tax do not change. I like thank the President Trump and Republican party in 2017 for screwing me and other Americans who not millionaires by raising taxes on low to middle income earners.

    Of course it does...One of first things The Don did when he got to WH along with Massacre-Moscow-Mitch was give the top 1% a big tax cut. Helped Don his family and others around him.
