 Bitcoin inverses this, middle class is free to buy it before the wealthy do and profit from it by saving in it
 
 Ok, but bitcoin is irrelevant to the matter of tax cuts that add trillions of dollars to the national debt, at the expense of the middle class, for the benefit of the wealthy and large corporations. People should definitely start investing in bitcoin, but that's not a solution to the fundamental problem with these tax cuts. People hear "tax cut" and they think it will benefit them. They don't read the fine print and discover that 80%+ of these tax cuts will go straight into the pockets of the wealthy while adding trillions to the nation's debt. Money that their grandchildren will be saddled with. Republican tax cuts are a scam intended redistribute wealth from the middle class to the wealthy.  
 You have to cut spending as well. Bitcoin makes wasteful spending a lot more difficult. It forces efficiency. 
 Or we could just not pass another ridiculous tax cut bill that pumps more money into the pockets of the wealthy, at the expense of working and middle class.  
 Yes let’s just say Medicare for all and your taxes will go up. That’s a selling idea! 
 Yes but what you're talking about has nothing to do with these tax cuts and their consequences. Buying bitcoin doesn't negate the trillions of dollars these cuts add to the national debt, or the consequences felt by working and middle class.  
 I totally get where you're coming from! It’s super important to think about the big picture. We need to keep talking about these issues and how they affect everyone, for sure! 😊👍 
 Bitcoin is a secular system, more money printing is good for Bitcoin. 
While those Fiat spendings force everyone to become an investor the average pleb is able for the first time to save in a g'sound money to circumvent those negative effects and instead profit from the insane money creation. 
The entire Fiat System is build in a way to facilitate this exact outcome you are describing, it is fundamentally flawed and just better disguised under democrat rule
