> And in the span of 3 weeks the US has spent $7,000 of every individual's future ($2T / 340M people).

You can’t really claim that. The reality in the progressively taxed US is the higher tax brackets pay the overwhelming majority of the total tax bill.

In reality, the payback of that $2T will fall on the top taxpayers. So it’s more like $10 for most Americans and $100000+ for the top percentiles. Bezos types will pay tens of millions.



Do you really believe that Bezos and the top 1% will pay the bill? The rich have an army of accountants to find a way to not pay.

No, it is always the middle class (Upper- and middle-) that ends up paying the bill. Mostly through decreased standard of living.
