Well, the big reason is I didn't want to see a massive, almost $4 trillion tax increase that was the main reason I voted for the one big beautiful bill. Also had to point out that when Democrats had the same situation, the presidency, the House and Senate in 2021, 22, as much as they complained about we were cutting taxes for the wealthy, we didn't. We just didn't increase taxes on people. They could have rescinded any part of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act. They didn't do that. They just kept massively spending and incurring on average about $1.9 trillion in deficit. (02:25–02:39)
