Elizabeth Warren op-ed for Boston Globe: The GOP con on the debt ceiling: House GOP plan is about protecting the wealthy from paying their fair share

[basquebromance]

Here’s the ultimate irony of today’s Republican scam: Without years of Republican handouts to the wealthy, there would be no debt ceiling hostage to take. If Republicans hadn’t spent nearly $2 trillion on the Trump tax cuts and abetted wealthy tax cheats by starving the IRS for a decade, the US wouldn’t need to raise the debt ceiling this year. In fact, the current debt ceiling would have sustained federal spending well past the end of Biden’s 1st term. Any debt crisis today should be laid squarely at the FEET of the Republicans who worked tirelessly to help the wealthiest Americans avoid paying taxes.

The Republican con on the debt ceiling - The Boston Globe

The House Republican plan for the debt ceiling is about protecting the wealthy and the well-connected from paying their fair share in taxes — nothing more and nothing less.

Nobody should take Lieawatha seriously

Screw off Elizabeth. You had two years and did NOTHING. Democrats even tried to rescind taxes on the wealthy.

Why do people continue to fall for this tax cuts for the wealthy crap? The tax cuts were for virtually everyone that paid taxes and the wealthy got a cut too. Keep in mind, the “rich” already pay a higher rate but and they pay more so yes, they got a bigger cut that others. They also shared an even large percentage of the burden.

The truth about Trump's tax cuts by the numbers, not by Biden: Andy Puzder

So is she right or is she wrong?

 

[pknopp]

So is she right or is she wrong?

She's full of crap.

 

[struth]

So is she right or is she wrong?

wrong as usual

 

[MarcATL]

She's full of crap.

Right or wrong?

 

[pknopp]

Right or wrong?

She is right about making the rich pay their fair share. She just doesn't actually want to do that.

I don't recall if it was her that was behind rescinding taxes on the rich.

Under our current tax code the wealthy will continue to benefit but Democrats use the tax the wealthy mantra for political gain.

Which Republicans want to make the wealthy pay their fair share?

 

[Harry Dresden]

Thank you for praising my consistency

the only thing you are consistent at is changing your views weekly....

 

[pknopp]

Which Republicans want to make the wealthy pay their fair share?

None, which is why I do not support them. Also why I do not support Democrats.
