Wow Joe wants to raise taxes on everyone. What a republicans.

God, he is such a shitbag.

So those of us who already had our kids, and didn’t get any paid leave, should pay tax so others can have it? GTFO.

So those of us who paid for our college loans, and didn’t get any loan forgiveness, should pay tax so others can get their loans forgiven

DP. I paid off my college loans and no I'm not paying tax to forgive other loans. Your choice, your responsibility.

They should not give student loan forgiveness. Everyone should get a flat $10,000 toward debt. What about those with other types of debt?

What about people with no debt? Why shouldn't they get free money too?

Helicopter money for everyone, we will all be rich!

Build Back Broke is trending. The Republicans are nothing if not great memers.

Hope Not

However, because Build Back Better would raise the $10,000 cap on the state and local tax (SALT) deduction, it would cut taxes for the majority of very wealthy families as well. According to TPC, two-thirds of households making over $1 million per year would receive a tax cut under the Build Back Better Act. More than three-quarters of households earning between $500,000 and $1 million would also receive a tax cut, as would two-thirds of those earning between $200,000 and $500,000.

way to go Democrats!

Any moment now Senators Warren and Sanders are going to come out in firm opposition to this handout to the rich at the expense of those most vulnerable... waiting... waiting... waiting...

Senator Warren? I saw your on twitter trying to troll Elon Musk, something is happening in the Capital that requires your attention.

Senator Sanders?

Hello? Is this thing on?

Tax cuts should be viewed not in raw comparative terms but rather in relative terms. In areas where progressives dominate, where wealth is produced, the people should be rewarded with greater tax breaks than in those areas where reactionaries dominate. While the raw numbers are vastly different, in relative terms the two are probably equal. Let’s not forget too that wealthier, better educated progressive areas are subsidizing the Republicans-dominated Midwest and South, areas that are lower educated and poorer and net takers, not producers.

All rise for President Manchin! Heck yes.

Where were their memes about the $7T of new debt incurred on Trump's watch?

Sorry Marsha but that's not even a meme....

But while you're whining about how America's supposedly being destroyed by having to pay an extra $0.20 a pound for chicken, consider that in just 4 years, Trump added $23,424 in new debt for every American man, woman and child. What do you have to show for that?

I can tell you what we DIDN'T have to show for it - 6.8% inflation.

And btw U.S. producer prices haven't risen a mere .20c. Try 20%!!

Surging US producer prices add to pressure on Fed to accelerate taper

Yet that inflation doesn't even remotely add up to the nearly $100k in new debt added by Trump for an average family of four - what did that family get in exchange for all that debt? The tax cuts were pretty much it and even they got nowhere even remotely near there for the overwhelming majority of American families.

I’m willing to do it even though I’m done having kids. Maybe I’m just a kinder and more generous person than you.

NP. I’m not ‘generous’ enough to pay for other people who can’t afford it to have kids. And then since they can’t afford it, I’ll need to keep paying to raise those kids. Paying for public schools that we don’t use is as far as I’m willing to go towards paying to raise other people’s kids. My responsibility is to my own family. Some of us don’t have trust funds and inheritances coming to us.

I see your point EXCEPT you dont live in isolation. You pay for public schools because its for the public good. If I dont have a car I still have to pay for roads. And I really cant imagine that you are okay with children suffering. I make 60k and have a child. My partner makes 90k. We make more than many and make a LOT less than most of our peers. My child's health and wellbeing are not infringed upon if I need to pay 2k more in taxes a year. Do you know why? Bc he has loving, involved parents.

I wont allow children to suffer just so you can stick it to their parents. How hard up do you have to be to see the world the way you do. Ugh.

No one is 'suffering' because PP and I refuse to be happy about paying more and more for kids we didn't bring into this world and their parents have no plans to provide for despite the free education they too received at the expense of the government.

The progressives wanted free monthly summer stipends for food, free pre-school, free childcare, free college, free year-round monthly stipends for everything else, on top of the 15 years of already free standard education and free breakfast/lunch provided to kids and free healthcare for impoverished children.

At some point its the parents responsibility to provide for their own children.

I'm so glad they nipped this in the bud. I literally saw a SAHM today asking if she was going to get PAID (like on retainer) out of the childcare subsidy like the daycares would if they chose to keep their kid at home. The entitlement was off the charts.
