>the established industries wouldn't lobby against regulations.
Because certain regulations become too restrictive or costly. Big banks fought parts of Dodd-Frank because it forced them to hold more capital, which means small businesses or people with shaky credit might struggle to get loans.
>Tell me how it's bad for regular workers and consumers.
The CFPB's rules makes banks and lenders tighten up, offering less credit to those with low income. That means less options for someone struggling to pay bills.
>Were you misled?
I might have misunderstood what you meant. I figured you wanted the tax to target even more millionaires. Yes, Trump has expressed that he wants to remove the estate tax. However, the exemption is currently $13.99M which Trump raised to $15M starting 2026. If he actually wants it gone, he's not doing a very good job.
>Yes
Tariffs were a popular Democrat position over two decades ago, the only reason they hate it now is because Trump. Heavy regulations not only gives the government more power, but raises prices further. Biden's Inflation Reduction Act may sound nice, but it drives up energy costs way more than deregulation of crypto and data centers. Adding a methane emissions fee passes them on to consumers, and straining the grid because of the fast transition to renewables raises prices even more. Not to mention Harris's proposed tax on unrealized gains destroying the economy.
>Zionist
Yes, that's one of the things I don't like about Trump. Your excessive ad hominem leads me to believe you don't want an actual discussion.
I'll leave you with this: the Democratic party's modus operandi is appeal to emotion, they ignore the reality of their policies because they make it sound beneficial to people like you and me. Republicans at the moment have no identity. Right now, they're just Democrats from over a decade ago who have been ostracized by the radical shift of their party.
