Mitt Romney is about as much of a “moderate” as Genghis Khan.

The Republicans want a user paid tax? Great, then let’s raise the minimum wage to $15.
Oh, and while we’re at it, since it’s only the ultra wealthy who die with enormou$ e$tate$, they can pay the estate tax!

Mitt’s a bandit and Bain’s the weapon.
What bothers me about this whole discussion is good tax policy and politics are being ignored and Biden may be missing an opportunity for Democrats to lock in the suburbs for the next generation.
That is more people care about the SALT (State and Local Tax) limitation on deductions than the corporate tax rate. For sure Democrats from progressive taxed states need to hold the line on refusing to agree to any deal that does not lift the limit on the SALT reduction. The only reason for the SALT limitation was to punish “BLUE” states but in reality it punished progressively (states that tax wealthy more than others) including several swing states like Wisconsin and Michigan.
Ending the SALT reduction would force Republicans like Ron Johnson to vote against cutting taxes many in his home state in favor of corporate stockholders in other states. It would be for many Republicans a political disaster and would also be good policy.

They should be less worried about what “their grandchildren” will end up paying for and more about what Republicans like Matt Gaetz may end up doing to “their grandchildren”.

That’s true in the real world, but the GOP has already jumped on the deficit and National Debt bogeyman.
“I think one thing the Biden administration really has to focus on is the risk of what all this debt is going to do to us.” - Sen. Rick Scott
"If it’s going to have massive tax increases and trillions more added to the national debt, it’s not likely.” - Senate Minority Lead Mitch McConnell
We all know the GOP is no stranger to rabid hypocrisy, but their ideology has put them in a very tight box. “Read my lips: no new taxes” coupled with no new debt means nothing gets done unless you scrap SS, Medicare, and every other federal program that isn’t military.

covid came for Ted Nugent, so it has definitely shown that it can jump species to whatever Ted is.

Don’t you know that raising taxes on the rich was condemned by Sweet Baby Jesus?
It’s in the Bible, I tells ya!

Someone - I can’t recall who it was - hilariously Tweeted that he was surprised that Nugent got COVID-19, since Ted probably would have preferred COVID-13 or younger.

So the republicans’ initial offer during the meeting was that states could shift pandemic relief funds to infrastructure projects? That’s not just “nothing”, it’s less than nothing. “We are so kind that we will graciously allow you to give back some of the money we just appropriated for you so that it can be spent on something else.”

I’m sure the Retard-lickers will find an infrastructure plan right after that health care one.
They end up in landfills when the locals refuse to accept them for recycling. From what I have experienced, having solar installed on my homes for over 20 years now, the actual cost of recycling a solar panel has come down just as much and just as fast as the initial purchase of panels.
Let me also add that in many cases it is not those that purchase the solar system but those who purchase a home with solar installed that seem to be a major problem. à la St Raygun immediately after he moved into the WH.
