The head of a right-wing organization with ties to the Koch network offered words of encouragement to Democratic Sen. Kyrsten Sinema on Thursday amid reports that she’s holding up her party’s budget reconciliation package over its proposed tax hikes on the rich and big businesses.
“It’s wrong that she is helping profitable big corporations avoid taxes.”
Citing two unnamed Senate Democratic aides, Insider reported Thursday that “a major holdup” on ongoing talks over Democrats’ Build Back Better Act “is Sinema’s opposition to any tax increases for individuals and large corporations.”
“Her position threatens to deprive the package of over $700 billion in revenue to finance the bulk of President Joe Biden’s agenda,” Insider noted. “Biden has repeatedly promised his plan will be paid for and won’t add to the federal deficit.”
In response to Insider‘s story, which confirms earlier reporting from the New York Times, American Commitment president Phil Kerpen urged Sinema to “stay […]
George Soro’s is the king of “buying” politicians and his awful agenda anti-American agenda. Following his lead are all big tech billionaires. Be it with money, censorship of opposing voices, or manipulation of information. You are right that democracy is being damaged. But you are wrong about where the blame belongs.
As it happens I have some personal experience with George Soros and his foundation, and what you have written is complete crap. Soros founds projects that are life-affirming and foster wellbeing. You must be confusing him with the Koch brothers.
So you are asking why we vote the way we do? The real question is why are we given such poor choices, such as Hillary Clinton vs Donald Trump and Joe Biden vs Donald Trump. In a nation of over 330 million people the best choice for President was either Donald Trump or Joe Biden? I understand Trump as an incumbent in 2020, but Biden? Why did the Democratic Party give us such a highly flawed individual, and why did the press so eagerly hide his flaws? The man is not intelligent by any means failing third grade and ROTC of all things, cheating his way through law school, and plagiarizing throughout his political life. Now he struggles with dementia as well! And he is far from honest, as his now revealed dealings with Hunter and others demonstrate. Obama said it best: give Joe a chance, and he’ll fuck things up! I don’t know that we’ve had an honest President since Dwight David Eisenhower.
Michael — A child cannot flunk 3rd grade. Ask any teacher. And all the rest of what you have posted is the usual MAGAt BS. None of it is true, none of it is accurate, and I pity you that you live in a world where facts do not matter.
It is sad Stephan that you cannot acknowledge the reality of Michael’s comment. We have a system that is so corrupt that the best it can produce is Hillary, Joe, and Donald. Really? We are the laughing stock of the world because we have a non-representative republic.
Albus — Do you not read my almost daily comments about the corruption that pervades this country? The problem with Michael’s comments is that they are factually inaccurate because he gets them from crap MAGAt sources.
