It's great they are giving away money, but they are also stressing a political agenda that doesn't make any sense. First, they are advocating for a fixed tax regardless of wealth, but not taxing the poorest 7%, then giving money to the poorest 0.07%. The Republican tax plan they hate so much still severely taxes the rich, basically doesn't tax the bottom 45% at all[1], and actually gives money back to a much higher percentage of working poor with children who can actually end up getting paid by the government instead of owing taxes. What does Cards Against Humanity have against poor people that they have chosen to benefit the rich so much compared to the federal tax system?

Ok sarcasm aside, does CAH seriously want Donald Trump et al to decide what to do with more of their money? Tax cuts equal more money for you to decide what to do with instead of the people in charge of the government. They could send 1,000's of needy people $1,000 checks each year with the money they will save in corporate taxes. And they can choose where that money goes! And if there are tax cuts at all they will benefit the wealthy, because the wealthy pay all the taxes. According to the IRS, in 2015 the top 50% of earners paid 97.17% of Federal income taxes, the top 30% of earners pay almost 89.82% of Federal income taxes.[2]
