Surely we can boost the high earners more than that?! Are the poors really making enough sacrifices here?

$12K isn’t even enough for those high earners to even notice or care.
These numbers should be taken with a massive grain of salt.
The bill is far too expansive to give reliable estimates. Even those in similar income brackets will realize very different outcomes, depending on their individual circumstances. But yes, generally the poor and working class will suffer financially, and the wealthy will benefit. Those closest to either end of the wealth spectrum will see the greatest of these effects, which will be far beyond the figures predicted here.
No, they care about every little drop of blood they can suck
They aren't going to stop until it's just peasants and billionaires.
Aka the Middle Ages
Sounds just like Dark/Middle Ages
[The Dark Ages is] marked by economic, intellectual, and cultural decline
They read Yanis Vourofakis's new book and thought technofeudalism was a manifesto.
And the poorest will feel that $1600 painfully. The richest won't even notice the $12000.
I disagree. The richest are such greedy, vile scumbags that they'll notice it long enough to chortle with glee.
But then yeah, they'll promptly forget all about it.
I don't think this is anywhere close to describe the real effect of the trillions the big ugly bill gives in tax cuts to the rich.
Just a quick example: 2 trillion spread evenly on ALL Americans including pensioners and children, would give every American almost $7000 per year each!
Holy shit, someone's getting fired at the CBO! How dare they put out honest data.
All this and tariffs too!
Ahh... The old backwards Robin Hood maneuver.
And yet the poor GOP voters will still blame immigrants.
