When is the last time either of those things (capital gains rate cuts, tax hikes on the lower 90% of income earners) happened?

I think it’s been decades by now.

OBBB Opportunity Zones? Bonus depreciation? If you are unfamiliar with these or their applications to tax avoidance, you are outing yourself as a wagie running defense for your economic betters.

Sorry, which of those are capital gains rate cuts or tax hikes on workers?

Those are both capital tax cuts.

The hikes on labor come later, when the debt needs to be paid and Democrats are once again tricked into being fiscally responsible.

When did the previous tax cuts get rolled back vs getting extended in perpetuity?

TCJA made changes to corporate capital gains, no?

As for tax hikes <90%, this hasn’t occurred in income; the opposite has occurred. You could make the case that it hasn’t been worth it for the poorest brackets though, given other coincident policy changes
