(DCNF)—Democrat Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer mocked so-called “greedy” Republicans who want to keep the money they earned during a Tuesday appearance on “The View.”
Schumer said the Democrat Party is “united” in opposing President Donald Trump’s economic agenda, who he accused of supporting tax cuts for wealthy Americans, and scoffed at the idea that business owners and workers do not want to spend their earnings in taxes. He accused the Republican Party of being run by a “small group of wealthy, greedy people” who do not want the government to be a “barrier” on their finances and businesses.
“We are totally united in one thing, many things, but one thing above all. We are united in going after Trump and showing the American people that he is making the middle class pay for the taxes on the rich,” Schumer said. “Today we’re doing it on Medicaid. You know where we’re going to do it very soon? On the tariffs. He wants to put these tariffs in that’s gonna raise you folks, the average family, $2,000 a year for these tariffs. Why is he doing that, something so stupid? He wants to use that money for tax cuts for the billionaires. The Republican Party is a different kettle of fish than it used to be. And that’s why we’re fighting them so hard. They are controlled by a small group of wealthy, greedy people.”
“And you know what their attitude is? ‘I made my money all by myself, how dare your government take my money from me? I don’t want to pay taxes.’ Or ‘I built my company with my bare hands, how dare your government tell me how I should treat my customers, the land and water that I own or my employees?’ They hate government, government’s a barrier to people, a barrier to stop them from doing things, they want to destroy it, we are not letting them do it and we’re united,” Schumer continued.
Schumer angered his fellow Democrats Friday by backing the GOP government funding bill to avoid a shutdown, causing some to oppose his continued leadership. He postponed his book tour Monday as it was expected to be met with hostile protests from left-wing organizations over his support for the funding bill.
Trump plans to cut taxes programs that help the working class, including taxes on Social Security payments, Medicare, tips earned and overtime pay. While Democrats have repeatedly stated that Trump will cut Social Security and Medicare, the president has assured the public that there will be no such cuts.
Democrats and the legacy media have sparked fears about the current state of the economy, though the Trump administration has received some good economic news in recent days. The stock market plunged on March 10 after Trump threatened to impose tariffs 50% tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum imports and on goods coming from Mexico and China, though the markets have since improved.
The president has said that the high revenue coming in from tariffs will fund the tax cuts for Americans, stating that Americans’ will see their taxes decrease because of high tariffs.
Inflation slowed in February as the Consumer Price Index (CPI), a measure of the price of everyday goods, increased 2.8%, according to a Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) report released Wednesday. The Producer Price Index, a wholesale inflation measurement, also substantially slowed in February in comparison to the previous month.
The average price of eggs, which soared in the past few months, plummeted from $8.20 on March 5 to $3.21 as of Tuesday.
Trump largely won the election due to the economy being a top issue for voters in Nov. 2024, helping him win all seven swing states and make historic inroads with black, Hispanic and blue collar workers.

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
