We should have a corporate tax rate as low as possible. Taxes on corporations do nothing to stop inequality.
We should pay for government by taxes wealth and privilege. That means a high income tax. I suggest 90% for anything over $5 million a year in income, and a 90% tax on all estates over $10 million.
Also, we can tax private highschools and universities endowments.
I’m all for giving into Republicans on the corporate tax. It hurts businesses and workers a d does nothing to stop the plutocrats.
Yes, and we will hear all about how nothing was passed. The GOP lives to do nothing except obstruct. That’s why elimination of the filibuster is such an enormous threat to McConnell.
In the late nineties I had a friend who had recorded a PBS program about Jesco White and I’ll tell ya, it was way grittier and disheartening than the Wild Whites doc. That doc was a Hollywood concoction of good feelings.
Yes. And it was almost all built with federal funds — every road, bridge, dam and school. The federal government has been keeping the state afloat since its creation. Yet it still ranks near the bottom and is bleeding population.
If anyone should want a vigorous, extensive bill with “traditional” infrastructure and transformational educational and social supports, it ought to be them.
Biden has sprung the trap on republicans. He has taken his corporate tax raise, from 21% to 28%, off the table. In it’s place he wants a 15% minimum tax on businesses. This will mainly hit businesses who don’t end up paying any taxes.
In addition, he’s cut his infrastructure bill nearly in half. If republicans won’t produce at least 10 senators to vote for this, he will have the ammunition he needs to go to Manchin and Sinema and say, see, I told you they would not go along with a bipartisan bill under any circumstances. Time to modify the filibuster.
What the FUCK is his problem? Seriously. I can’t believe this one arrogant asshole has this much power. He’s fine letting Biden’s agenda just go down the drain? Proud of himself? How many of his constituents are on Medicaid and/or get the ACA? This makes me nuts.
Businesses need to wake the hell up!! I am referring to those millionaires and billionaires who pay no taxes and are now scrambling to keep it that way.
Well, they may want to become knowledgeable about a major Interstate highway bridge is shutdown due to deterioration. Millions of motorists are being rerouted to alternate routes and causing major backups. This interferes with our nation’s commerce!
Canada Post has apologized after the severed bronze head of the country’s first Prime Minister was immortalized in stamp form.
James Bone, a federal government employee who handles stamp collections at Library and Archives Canada, had a sheet of official Canada Post stamps made bearing the detached head of a John A. Macdonald statue that was recently toppled in Montreal.
Bone posted a photo of a sheet of 50 domestic stamps on Twitter Tuesday, tweeting “Please RT if fuck colonialism” and promising to send them to people free of charge “if you or your ancestors were fucked over by Macdonald.”
If the abusive spouse metaphor is to be used for Republicans, it should be more like:
"Shut the fuck up, bitch. If you beg properly, maybe I will not shove my fist in your face so hard for a day or two. Not promising anything, bitch."
Obviously, these creatures need to be tranquilized and incarcerated for life.
Note the metaphor isn’t right in any case. Dems need to be everything they can to kick these inveterate motherfuckers any-which-way they can. Insofar as they can’t, our democracy is fucked. Mancin is part of the problem.
