Republicans pulled a bait and switch on the American people! Theyโre planning to vote on starting a new 30% federal sales tax.
Reply with #RepublicanTaxBomb if you agree thatโs CRAZY!
Hold on: House Republicans want a national 30% sales tax on everything from groceries to gasoline? They want to raise taxes on working-class & middle-class families while slashing them for millionaires & billionaires?
Are they TRYING to show exactly how out of touch they are?
BREAKING: Kevin McCarthy has agreed to bring to the floor a bill that would impose a new 23% national sales tax on American families. Thatโs almost ALL goods and services purchases โ from groceries and gas to food and medicine.
This must fail. Please RT so EVERYONE sees this.
Weโre on the edge of a massive fiscal cliff, and Republicans are ready to drive the economy off the ledge.
All because the GOP want to slash benefits and aid for seniors and kids.
Doesnโt get more messed up than that.
There is no legitimate reason why Donald Trump hasnโt been prosecuted for at least one of his crimes. The Justice Department is setting a terrible and dangerous precedent that Republican Presidents (and Congresspeople) can break laws with impunity. Where is the โjusticeโ in that?
Let me tell you something you aren't going to hear about in the mainstream media.
We have in America today a working class whose weekly wages, adjusted for inflation, are LOWER than they were 50 years ago.
Is that remotely acceptable to you? I don't think so.
My law to help crack down on big corporations who are cheating on their taxes will help level the playing field for our small businesses, which is part of why it has been so disappointing to see House Republicans make protecting wealthy tax cheats their top legislative priority.
holy fucking shit, Al Franken posed for a stupid photo and Democrats forced him to resign. George Santos is a fucking felony factory and Republicans rewarded him with prime committee assignments. maybe it's just me but this is just fucking nuts
Iโm sick and tired of hearing this lie peddled by the GOP and corporate media. Raising the debt ceiling does not increase spending or the federal debt. It simply allows the government to pay bills it has already taken onโ and defaulting on the debt would be catastrophic.
