TURTLE. . . what about your freedom to not have jobs and childcare?"

@LeaderMcConnell

This Administration wants to raise taxes to nudge families toward the kinds of jobs Democrats want Americans to have, in the industries they want to exist, using the kinds of childcare they endorse. These plans aren’t about creating options; they’re imposing a vision.

Yes Democrats want Americans to have the choice of good-paying jobs as opposed to the low-paying jobs and the gig economy that many have been forced into.

Democrats won't be FORCING people into anything they don't want. So sick of this idiocy from Republicans that passes for political discourse.

Are really weak tea. The President and Dr. Jill are out there selling the latest American Jobs Program to a public that's ready, enthusiastic to move on, move towards the future leaving 'trickle down' economic proposals and debate behind.

Yeah, Mitch. It's the vision thing, the vision that we can be better than we are, a vision of the future that is not dystopian and bleak, one in which we all benefit.

What a concept!

Yah. What if I choose to live in poverty, despair and fear? You can't take that away from me. Democrats would push me into a better situation against my will. Republicans want to defend me from that.




More likely Repubs want to arrange it.

wanting people to have several low paying jobs so they can feed and house and educate their children is what you are saying. How dare we create jobs that pay people a living wage.

and finding ways to make them even more poor and miserable, using any means available to try to create a permanent regressive majority in government?

Tell us how that isn't a vision you and your co-conspirators are trying to impose.
