I hate how they feel so untouchable and act with complete disregard for any kind of humanity. And I hate even more how the “civilized world” continues to prove them right

Well originally all the TCJA cuts were set to expire at the end of this year, I imagine in their hubris they never expected trump to win again and extend them indefinitely. Biden was more than happy to reap the benefits while he was in office while not having to piss off the rich by making a show of ending it early. He could cope and say that it’s only for a few more years and the dang parliamentarian would make it too hard to repeal anyway. It’s a classic example of them letting republicans take the heat for things they also want and then setting them up for some super progressive tax policy like 21% corporate tax rates when it’s their turn to hold the bag. I do genuinely think they never expected to lose a presidential election again after trump 1 so the plan was to just let it run its course instead of, you know, actually doing anything while in office
