Senator Raphael Warnock asks Scott Bessent, the billionaire hedge fund manager Donald Trump picked to be his treasury secretary, whether or not the wealthy need tax cuts. His response is a joke.

@PappyParki Bessent is literally misrepresentating what the legislation does. The lower tax brackets will see an increase in their tax load. Not a decrease.

𝑼𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑾𝒉𝒚 𝑻𝒓𝒖𝒎𝒑 𝑾𝒐𝒏 The liberal establishment has colossally failed us and ushered in a dangerous Trump administration in the process. The only answer is a bottom-up working-class movement. ★ NEW ARTICLE ⬇️

The confirmation hearings are a joke. Every nominee avoids or evades answering the questions.

He’s so delusional and is hoping the American people are as well and won’t see through his BS

They've been spouting this trickle-down bullshit theory for decades...and it's #BULLSHIT #TaxTheRich

The exact opposite of what the tax laws will do..... Typical rethugulan response. Ass backwards is the way

They are all either unable, or unwilling to answer questions.

But the Senator used percentages? We are being asked to accept someone who can't follow a simple mathematical equation??

True but Bessent has that certain look that Trump craves. Smugness personified.

Trickle down 'shit theory' has never trickled down any benefit to the middle / lower class!

The correct answer of course is HELL NO. 🤷
