I can’t tell you what the official Republican economic program is, because the party doesn’t have one — in fact, it has made a point of not saying what it will do if it regains power.

We do, however, know what the party did when it was last in power: It gave huge tax cuts to the wealthy, while almost succeeding in repealing the Affordable Care Act, which would have caused tens of millions of Americans to lose health insurance. There’s no reason to believe it won’t once again pursue anti-worker, pro-plutocrat policies if it regains control.

The GOP is the party that will take the House and the Senate in November and the White House in 2024.

Apr 14, 2019 — “The vast majority of people did get a tax cut,” said Nathan Rigney, an analyst at H&R Block's Tax Institute. That's been clear all along, ...
 
'And the Republican Party doesn’t believe that it will pay any price for pursuing these rewards. It believes that its supporters will focus on denunciations of critical race theory and buy into conspiracy theories — almost half of Republicans agree that top Democrats are involved in child sex-trafficking — while not even being aware of what the party is doing for the very rich. After The Times revealed Jared Kushner’s highly questionable $2 billion deal with the Saudis, Fox News simply ignored the report, while harping endlessly on Hunter Biden."

And recently Senator Rick Scott of Florida, who heads the Republican senatorial campaign, released a “Rescue America” plan that called for tax increases on the half of Americans whose incomes are low enough that they don’t pay income taxes (even though they pay payroll taxes, sales taxes and so on). He also warned, falsely, that Social Security and Medicare are headed for bankruptcy, without offering any suggestions about how to preserve them.

You are a racist, attacking a respected Black US Senator.

That’s unattractive, do better.
 
Biden fondles women and children and is a practicing cannibal.

Hyperbole is great, in moderation.
 
The Repub party has given tax cuts to the wealthy and corporations repeatedly. They have gutted agencies that keep tabs on them. They have been hacking the IRS down so badly that they cannot check the taxes of the wealthy. Agencies that track environmental crimes have been slashed. The Repubs have removed the regulations.
Voters, the regulators, and their agencies are on your side. The wealthy will cheat and corporations will pollute and risk lives for higher profits. Trump made that easier.

And somehow the right wingers support them even though GOP policies directly harm them.

That is possible, but far from certain. And it is off topic. The plutocrats may win in 2022, and 2024, but they will still be plutocrats.
