Tax Revolt: Arjun Singh on the Roots of Trump's Push for Massive $4.5 Trillion Tax Cut for the Rich
As President Trump pushes House Republicans to support a sweeping budget bill that gives massive tax breaks to the rich while slashing spending for Medicaid, food stamps and subsidies for clean energy, we look at a new series for *The Lever*'s podcast *Lever Time*, which covers the history of the Republican anti-tax movement and how their anti-government influence is impacting Trump's attempts to build power. The anti-tax activist wing “has made it impossible for this party to raise taxes, which then makes it very difficult to actually govern when you’re the party in power,” explains *Lever Time* co-host Arjun Singh. Singh breaks down the roots of the movement and its impact in the MAGA era.
