Also, we can ALWAYS afford a tax cut. Less government confiscation of people’s money is a good thing. Less spending is what needs to be the focus. Calling a 3.5 Trillion sham” infrastructure “ bill paid for is complete nonsense, when the government borrows half of each dollar it spends to begin with. 1

Tenhigh Posted October 6, 2021 Posted October 6, 2021 I love the balanced budget talk I've seen on here from both sides. Here is a good overview of our nation's tax structure, and who pays what. https://www.pgpf.org/budget-basics/who-pays-taxes This website also gives some really great insights into what federal spending means to our long term economic future. Please give it a look.

Sucks being called out and upstaged by your own party and the “King of Debt” who promised to reduce the national debt — then made it surge with his signature legislation - tax cuts that made it surge to the third-biggest deficit increase of any president. Congrats
Tenhigh Posted October 6, 2021 Posted October 6, 2021 Here is the breakdown of who is paying what today: https://www.pgpf.org/budget-basics/who-pays-taxes THE U.S. TAX SYSTEM IS PROGRESSIVE As a whole, the U.S. tax code remains progressive — with higher-income taxpayers paying a greater share of their income in taxes. That is true despite the fact that high-income Americans benefit disproportionately from tax breaks, otherwise known as tax expenditures. Major tax expenditures — such as lower rates on capital gains and dividends, deductions for charitable contributions, and deductions for state and local taxes — tend to benefit higher-income taxpayers more than lower-income groups. CBO estimates that the top quintile of taxpayers receive 51 percent of the value of major tax expenditures, while only 8 percent goes to the bottom quintile. However, even with substantial tax expenditures, the top one percent of American taxpayers still pay an effective tax rate of 29 percent, on average, while the bottom 20 percent of the population pay an average of 3 percent. TPC estimates that 68 percent of taxes collected for 2019 came from those in the top quintile, or those earning an income above $163,600 annually. Within this group, the top one percent of income earners — those earning more than $818,700 per year — will contribute over one-quarter of all federal revenues collected.

Keep being a pawn for millionaires and billionaires who pay none. Your position here is based on a political fallacy. That fallacy being that Republicans solidly support the wealthy and Democrats oppose the wealthy in support of the middle and working class "little people". But if you look at a list of the largest political donors the list is split pretty evenly between the two parties. So the truth is both parties are beholden to the wealthy millionaire and billionaire campaign and party donor class. And neither is likely to present and enact any tax proposals that do meaningful harm to their largest donors. No biting the hand that feeds you is allowed in the world of big campaign donors. This perceived difference in the party candidates is one of the illusions created by the 1% and the political class. it provides the voters a false option that there is some fundamental difference between candidates. Rarely is this true. The other truth is they continue to fool most voters of both parties the fight between each other 100% of the time on a 5% difference between the core interests the major political parties. https://www.opensecrets.org/elections-overview/biggest-donors?cycle=2020&view=fc 1

Backintheday544 Posted October 6, 2021 Posted October 6, 2021 https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/biden-senate-mull-changing-filibuster-ahead-debt-ceiling-vote-n1280913 McConnell says he will not block a vote on the debt ceiling. McConnell is a bit not truthful in how he discusses this. He wants a limit raised by Dems. If he ends the filibuster in any debt fueling bill, then that bill can be passed solely by Dems. So McConnell using the filibuster is the only thing ever holding this bill up. McConnell could just end a filibuster and the Dems would happily pass the bill without Republican support.

You have to agree that NONE of these people are working for the American people anymore. They're all just jockeying for position and trying to get re-elected to save their own jobs. 1

I laughed when I heard this because it is all so predictable. Finally at the last minute they reach a deal or whatever to keep the money flowing for another 2 months. In a month and a half there will be much hand wringing and doomsday predictions and the donkey team blaming the elephant team and vice versa until at the last minute a deal will be reached. There's an election in 13 months and this makes for good fund raising. 1
