Question for the media.

Why are democrats required to included pay fors when it comes to helping poor Americans, but tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations can go on americas credit card. The republicans have looted the treasury and now when we desperately need help republicans are giving us the proverbial middle finger. They’re going to do what we let them.

1. Republicans just say screw you and do whatever they

want and get away with it. Democrats him haw around not wanting to anger the Republicsns. Oh no we can't do away with the filabuster the Republicans will use it against us.
We can't do this because the parliamentarian says we cant. The Republicans stole a SCOTUS position and got away with it. If there is a SCOTUS vacancy in Biden's term they will steal another one. If the Republicans get the Congress back and they want a tax cut they will get rid of the filibuster in a New York minute.

2. I think they passed the last tax cut using reconciliation....

So they don't need to worry about the filibuster for that. But I bet they will go after the ACA and gut the filibuster to do it if given the chance.

3. They had a chance to get rid of the ACA and failed. n/t

[TheRealNorth]

6. That doesn't mean that they won't try again.

See Abortion- Roe vs. Wade.

7. Yep

they will. My right wing friend will be mad though if they get rid of Obama care as she calls it since that is how she gets her insurance.

4. It's a horrendous double standard

and it pisses me the eff off.

[doc03]

5. I think that is the main goal of Republicans. Piss

Democrats off they run on nothing else.

8. Republicans Say The Tax Cuts Pay For Themselves

They simply lie, and they are mostly unchallenged.

See Chuck Todd, Andrea Mitchell, and Fox Lies.

9. Because the Rich OWN the Main Stream Media lock stock and camera.

We let them have the power by throwing the baby out with the bathwater re Unions.

If Labor Stands up, Labor wins. But damn it's hard to get the workers time and energy to fight for themselves. Been like that throughout History.

Good news is WE The People ALWAYS win in the end. Just takes blood, sweat and tears in the interim. Most of us will likely never live to see the victory - We fight the good fight for the NEXT Generation and beyond.

10. From what I've heard in the past

The GQP argues that tax cuts spur enough growth to pay for themselves.

Of course, that has never been the case.

But, hey, why let the truth get in the way of anything?
