This isn’t small government. It’s rigged government.
Stop tax carve-outs before they lock in power.
Why this matters now
- Arizona’s GOP budget passed with tax cuts; Democrats criticized corporate breaks.
- Republicans cheered new Trump tax cuts on Tax Day.
- CNN reports Trump and the GOP are testing precedent with aggressive voter roll purges.
The story
Constitutions do not break in one day. They bend when leaders use public power to reward the few and weaken the many. Look at the pattern. In Arizona, Republicans just passed a budget with new tax cuts and corporate breaks that Democrats called out. On Tax Day, GOP figures also cheered new Trump tax cuts. When the insiders get the breaks, the rest of us get the bill, and our civic muscle shrinks.
Your paycheck did not get a lobbyist. Billionaires and big firms did.
This is how a republic gets captured.
Now match those tax favors with rule changes that cut voters out. CNN reports Trump and the GOP are testing precedent with aggressive voter roll purges. That is not about tidy records; it is about power. Make the list shorter, make the polling lines quieter, and the same insiders keep cashing in. In a healthy republic, leaders face voters after they pick winners and losers. In a captured one, they pick who votes, then shovel the gains upward. Free markets need free elections. So do fair taxes.
Fix the guardrails in 2026.
