The GOP's typical campaign rhetoric today sounds a lot like it did three decades ago. Republicans need to change how they talk about issues.

Far from lowering the tax burden for the rich, Republican tax legislation has done the reverse. The United States has the most progressive tax system among all developed countries! That is, we take more from the rich than any other country. Going all the way back to the Reagan administration, every time Republicans passed a tax bill, they exempted more and more people from the income tax.
But when it came time to legislate, they did none of those things. Instead, they did something they rarely ever talked about. Their Inflation Reduction Act extended tax subsidies for health insurance for households who make. Republicans should publicize this welfare for the wealthy and why it should be opposed.
In fact, the most important safety net we have, one that gives virtually everyone a ticket out of poverty if they are willing to work, is a Republican creation: the earned income tax credit. Introduced in 1975, this credit was based on the idea of a negative income tax, proposed by Milton Friedman. Closely related is the child tax credit, created by a Republican Congress in 1997.
