The Republicans Will Do All They Can To Keep Biden From Leading A Recovery - Period

They want Biden and Democrats to fail.

Just like the last time a Republican President destroyed the economy.

Rachel talked about it tonight.

Joe, and the rest, don't let them "scale everything back" so the recovery isn't as robust, or doesn't happen at all.

We can ask the insanely rich to pitch in, and pay some taxes for once, and we don't even have to borrow if we don't want to.

Giving some people a portion of the trillions they have paid in taxes back to help the through this nightmare isn't that bad when you think about it.

Don't let Republicans hurt the recovery, and slow the vaccinations, and everything else they will burn down to try to regain power.

No one with a working brain thinks they want to help anyone but themselves, and the billionaires who pay for their campaigns.

Now let's crush them with doing the right thing.

If they want to help, no problem.

The wealth the wealthy have accumulated in the last year would go a long way in helping us build back, if they were required to pay taxes on their Covid Windfall.

Just like they did with Obama.

They want Biden to fail no matter how it hurts the country.

We demand they pay their fair share for what they are taking from our society.

...to fill in the rest with or without the Repubs. We were bipartisan...to a point, and it will at least get $600 billion out there quick. Would send a powerful message and no one is going to listen or care as the Repubs protest abandonment of bipartisanship.
