IF we win Senate.. should we remove filibuster?

We have far too many new items on our agenda and probably 2 years to get it passed.. incumbent President's party always does poorly in the next mid term..

Do we ram through changes in areas like immigration, taxes, climate change, healthcare ..or do we sit and plead with those fuckers

We should play the long game ..and we cannot do shit if we have the filibuster. I think Democrats should show courage and people will reward them.

Our Debt has crossed 100% GDP

Republicans haven't said a peep about it ..but will suddenly become very concerned about deficits shortly after Jan 2021

Here are some options

1) Increase the highest marginal rates for corporations and individuals including new higher slabs


2) Tax income from overseas income ... This is going to be hard.. As there will be a million loop holes.

3) progressive sales tax on bonds and socks ( cumulative not per transaction) .. so if you sell under million dollars in stocks for the year ...no sales tax ... But if you buy and sell 100 k Worth of stocks 12 times a year .. the 200 k will have a small sales tax


4) tax consumer data assets by big data companies .. Google / Facebook have tons of data about us.. when we sleep, when we fart, whom we like.. charge a tax based on both data stored and data accessed.

5) get rid lower rates for capital gains

6) inheritance = income ..tax accordingly ..with exemption of actively managed small businesses.

Anything else?

Everywebsite , DU, Freeperville, NY Times etc will show his names as Cheatos

I was curious what freepers thought of fetal tissue for regeneron..I should have guessed

They have a very simple defense



"Fake News"

Fake FUCKING News

It's their ultimate shield against a fact based universe ..where there are no objective truths that are verifiable ..just personal ones they have faith in

I wish when Mike 'SHIT' Pence was waxing about the sanctity of life

Kamala should have brought the Regeneron and Trump's stake into forefront.

Those FUCKING Hypocrites want to have it both ways and make money off it too
