If billionaires can afford to zoom around in rocket ships, to buy superyachts and mansions with 25 bathrooms, yeah, I think they can afford to pay their fair share of taxes.
Sen Chuck Grassley (Q-IA) is running for re-election. He will be 89 in September. He’s been in Washington since 1975.
Who else thinks it's time for him to retire?

.@POTUS use your authority to invoke the Defense Production Act to manufacture renewable energy infrastructure, heat pumps, & all parts of a working clean energy economy. #LetsGoJoe CC: @RonaldKlain
I’m calling on you to use your authority to declare a national climate emergency to transition to clean renewable energy and create millions of good paying jobs. #LetsGoJoe CC: @RonaldKlain
The American people elected a Democratic House, a Democratic Senate, and a Democratic president to defend our basic rights and put Washington on the side of working people. So enough with the delays. We’ve got to vote on voting rights and #BuildBackBetter.
Here's video of a self-described 'conservative' Trump voter in West Virginia saying that @JoeManchinWV betrayed his voters in the state with his stance on BBB. He says Manchin is doing this for "other people putting money in his pockets" and not the people struggling in WV.
It’s not “Biden’s Agenda” that Manchin torpedoed.
It’s America’s.
The BBB bill is exceptionally popular. Provision after provision polls well above 50%.
Manchin lied to the President’s face. He lied to his colleagues’ faces.
Despicable.
350,000. That's how many families with kids in West Virginia are going to miss out on Child Tax Credit Payments next month because of @Sen_JoeManchin's decision.
With BBB delayed, Child Tax Credits will expire and student loans will restart within a matter of weeks. Working families could lose thousands of $/mo just as prices are rising.
That alone is reason for @POTUS to act on student loans ASAP - w/ either moratorium or cancellation.
Be mad at Manchin, who didn't bargain "in good faith" as he claimed. Acknowledge that progressives were right about what would happen if infrastructure passed first. But save hottest ire for 50 GOP senators who'd rather deny Biden a win than help families and save the planet.
