since Johnson or Roosevelt in the rescue act...we will get a infrastructure bill and if has a corporate tax of 25%, I can live with that. Without Manchin it would stay at the bottom and no taxes would be paid.

28% vs 25% is doable Johnny2X2X Apr 2021 #1

Trumple reduced it from 35% (a 25 year rate) to a basement level of 21%. Ninga Apr 2021 #3

It's totally reasonable Johnny2X2X Apr 2021 #10

+1, Manchin is reminding me of dems version of Susan Collins and in the end with very little movemen uponit7771 Apr 2021 #25

If Biden wants 28 and Manchin wants 25 Bettie Apr 2021 #5

That is reasonable. This is how legislation is passed. Demsrule86 Apr 2021 #30

For us living in the South, where Jim Crow voter bills are being put up, Manchin IS the enemy Shell_Seas Apr 2021 #6

The solution? Elect more Democratic senators in the south. Beastly Boy Apr 2021 #12

We won't be able to elect anyone after the bills they pass. Shell_Seas Apr 2021 #13

How is antagonizing Manchin, or getting rid of Manchin going to change this? Beastly Boy Apr 2021 #22

Does it matter that he has a (D) next to his name if he's aligned with (R)? Shell_Seas Apr 2021 #15

Manchin's party affiliation determines whether Schumer or McConnell is majority leader. LastLiberal in PalmSprings Apr 2021 #17

It absolutely does! In much more significant ways than Manchin's votes matter. Beastly Boy Apr 2021 #21

Yes it does. Nothing would get done without Manchin. McConnell would be in charge...no judges Demsrule86 Apr 2021 #26

If he and Sinema refuse to even modify the filibuster in such a way Celerity Apr 2021 #16

Manchin is a small man no regard for the needs of the vast majority of the country. LastLiberal in PalmSprings Apr 2021 #18

I find your post a bit excessive because we are going to get a bill maybe not with 28% but good Demsrule86 Apr 2021 #28

Sorry. It was late at night and I had just watched "People Will Talk." LastLiberal in PalmSprings Apr 2021 #31

No need to apologize! Your post was fine...I am just not ready to give up yet. Demsrule86 Apr 2021 #34

And we don't have 6-3 Scotus because of Manchin...that is because of those on our side Demsrule86 Apr 2021 #29

selective revisionism Celerity Apr 2021 #32

It is not revisionism. Hillary Clinton would have won without people being encouraged by Demsrule86 Apr 2021 #33
