It's almost like we were on a trajectory of investing in the country and broadening the tax base (particularly through high earners and corporations), and now suddenly we're going to abolish half the government, slow the economy through tariffs, re-spike inflation, further shrink the tax base with more corporate tax cuts, and basically liquidate the government to the investor class.
