"SNIP.....

“Sen. Kyrsten Sinema’s opposition to tax increases is causing Senate Democrats to look at financing their sprawling social policy and climate package without raising tax rates on businesses, high-income individuals or capital gains,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“The Arizona Democrat has told lobbyists that she is opposed to any increase in those rates, but her stance is now pushing Democrats to more seriously plan for a bill that doesn’t include those major revenue increases.”

price piece out are going to explode the net cost of even a vastly reduced bill.

Coal and Curtsy are a coordinated pincer movement of wreckage, they are doing massive damage to our 2022 and 2024 electoral chances, and that is not even counting their refusal to allow a carve-out for voting rights in the filibuster.

however many people it needs to go after people and corporations that are using loopholes to avoid taxes --- get the $$ from them now and put people and corporations on the defensive against a strong IRS offense?? People and corps can sue but if they know that their cheating will see the light of day how many will be willing to suffer with the bad PR?
